Attendance down at Frankfurt motor show
While waning attendance at the Australian motor shows may have forced Sydney and Melbourne to alternate hosting duties each year, it appears even the headlining Frankfurt motor show is suffering similar decline according to official numbers released today.
MINI Coupe Concept at Frankfurt Motor Show
Believe it or not, the iconic MINI has been around for 50 years, and things have never looked better for the brand, if their presence at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show is any indication.
Here’s a number to think about, more than 1.5 million new generation MINI’s have been produced since production got under way in 2001.
Hyundai i30 CRDi Sport at Frankfurt Motor Show
With all the action on Hyundai’s stand this year, I very nearly walked past what looked like a nice clean, but stock i30 CRDi, until I noticed a subtle “Sport” badge on the tailgate.
On closer inspection I also noticed the stylish dual exhaust tips, rear diffuser and superb carbon look, sports wheels.
Hyundai ix-Metro at Frankfurt Motor Show
If you like Sci-Fi movies such as Star Trek and I, Robot and you’re a young European urbanite, then here’s a car for you.
Hyundai call it, the ix-Metro and Rogelio J. Flores, Chief designer on the project, would have you believe that this is something …out of this world” and I reckon he’s spot on.
Great coverage. I’d suggest at Frankfurt it was the world premiere of the SLR McLaren Roadster, as the standard SLR McLaren was released over a year ago.
Once again Mercedes-Benz dominates with everything from the diminutive 3 cylinder turbo Smart to massive AMG twin turbo V12′s and everything in between. That’s before we mention the astonishing Brabus creations!
Bavarian Missile
Thanks for your opinion Matthew but that all it is,yes Merc can make some fast stuff not sure if it appeals to every taste on looks or budget though. A lot of their stuff is like any other manufactures boring which is why they need AMG and Brabus to tweak them !
