While it's called the Tokyo Motor Show, it REALLY should be called the "Car Girl Exhibition".
The cars seems to play second fiddle to the girls strategically placed around said vehicle to make it oh so more desirable.
This year they have made a wise decision to hold it at Big Sight in Odaiba instead of far, far away at Makuhari like previous years.
Coming around every two years the anticipation builds up, but the outcome was not going to live up to my expectations. While the concept cars were interesting, there didn't seem to be anything really new.
Even watching Honda's Asimo robot didn't really excite. Apparently now they have made him able to run, but it felt like he was doing the same old poses. Still kind of cute I guess.
Today the place was packed and it was VERY easy to get lost. I hated how families brought their kids here to "play" in the cars. I didn't get to sit in many cars, mostly sitting on Harley-style Japanese motorbikes instead for a few photos.
There's Porsche here for the first time, but nothing new. The Lady Gaga styled car demo was laughable. Most of the car girls weren't that stunning either. Didn't stop all the perves coming along with their cameras though. Almost more fun watching the dweebs get their one day of gratification for the year.
Top prize goes to the Subaru girls. Like two years ago, whoever designs their outfits knows how to turn the heat up on a lukewarm motor show.
The show is on until the 11th (Sunday), so be there, or don't!

If the girls looked better than the cars, nobody would look at the cars, would they? It's bait-and-switch, and the girls are the bait. My only problem with that is it assumes car buyers are exclusively heterosexual men (or perhaps and female erotic dancers.)
On second thoughts (and a more thorough examination) of the MANY girl photos I took, there were actually some cuties among the not so hot. Without the girls this show would have been much, more disappointing. I wish everyone left the kids at home.THAT was a major letdown.
My son got very sick after I took him to the auto show at Makuhari Messe. Never again...
