Previously known as the Sydney Motor Show, the Show has now merged with its Melbourne counterpart (Melbourne International Motor Show) to form a joint venture, where the Australian International Motor Show will now be shared in alternative years between Melbourne and Sydney.
Featuring hundreds of vehicles on display of which many are all-new, updated and revised models and with some being cutting-edge concept cars from around the world, the Australian International Motor Show is reputed to be the largest single-industry exhibition in Australia.
Although more manufacturers are exhibiting in this year’s Show (see 2008’s coverage here), several huge names in the automotive industry decided to give it a miss. Among those who were absent were Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Hummer, Mini, Proton, Rolls-Royce, Saab and SsangYong.
Here are some of the highlights of the show from each exhibitor (where I will let the pictures do the talking):
1. Hyundai
2. Ford
3. Renault
4. Mitsubishi
5. Holden
6. Kia
7. Porsche
8. Honda
9. Mercedes-Benz
10. Skoda Auto
11. Volkswagen
12. Volvo
13. Mazda
14. Toyota
15. Suzuki
16. Lexus
17. Range Rover
18. Jaguar
19. Maserati
20. Audi
21. Subaru
22. Peugeot
23. Lamborghini
24. Nissan
25. Isuzu UTE
26. Supercar Central
That pretty much sums up the interesting bits of the 2010 Australian International Motor Show. But, the best exhibit award, to me, is still given to Kumho Tyres, with their mind-blowing balancing act.
Any guesses how she did that?
