Might I add, no Jag, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Alfa among others.

I find this mildly amusing as Lexus pretty much has the whole floor for this price category (outside of maybe Caddy and your flag ships Holdens/HSV’s + Fords/FPV’s).
I call conspiricy, maybe Toyota bribed the German’s not to turn up? =P

However i’d still like to go to checkout the hype around Caddy, see the F, the California and of course the R35 GT-R.

(PS – No Veyron? To the Melbourne Motor Show!)

sorry, but Australian International Motor Show has been mediocre for the past 5-6 years. They should make it like the Olympics, every 4 years.

So atleast manufacturers have something “new” to show.

Its a glorified sales room really.

Dont get me wrong, even the Detroit Motor Show wasnt that good, much bigger and had much more to show. But not as exciting as the European and Japanese show cases…. it must be the delivery.

“…along with the first public viewing of the W427 in Sydney”

WTF?? HSV have already began delivering this car to customers, I’d hardly call it “first” and “public”

I’ll be completely amazed if Ford unveils a GTHO, given everything Ford and FPV management have said about the potential car over the last few months.
