    this was inspired by the recent auto shows we've had.

    what did you like?
    what did you *not* like?
    what other things could they add/bring to make it more interesting?


    i'll go first...i know this is a longshot, pero sana they could have a "see-through" display of the more high-tech engines -- e.g. iVTEC, VVTi, etc. ung tipong makikita mo ung inner workings ng valves, pistons, etc while in operation. mas maganda kung actual, pero ok na rin kung animated 3D model on a widescreen

    I want to see previews of upcoming/soon-to-be-launched vehicles, just like what several car companies did in the recent Manila Intl Auto Show. The annual Transport Show at Megamall has become a bore for me since they serve the same menu over & over again - restored cars, modified cars, chest-thomping loud bass audio set-up, etc. I want to see fresh, new blood! :evillaugh

    What I didn't like? Those non-automotive stuff being peddled in some of the booths. :down:

    I prefer the Manila International Auto Show... I like to see the latest car/SUV/MPV models, concepts and some rare luxury/exotic cars.

    The only thing I really liked about the Transport Show at Megamall were the restored classic cars and the new Saleen S281...
    What I didn't like? Over the top mods, that actually cheapen the car's looks.

    in WTC, I enjoyed the mitsu, honda, toyota and some european booths. main reason: they displayed new models. something to look forward to. bago nga kami pumasok nagtataka kami kumbakit may naka-display na old school cars sa harapan ng WTC. sabi nga ng mga kasama, ano ba 'to? impounding area? mas ok pa magtingin ng tsikot sa basement parking ng GB3 eh hehehe

    i'm sure there is need for old schoolers to impose upon their prides & rides pero this is the new generation. we wouldn't want to see a modded Pentium I with black & white monitor on a computer tech show. so siguro same argument here.


    what I really like sa car shows here is yun mga display ng concept/prototype cars ng mga leading brands. it helps the younger generation become inspired and motivated. and I particularly like integration. the Mitsu booth in WTC is a start bec. all of their models had built-in lcd screens already sa dashboard. refreshing ika nga ...

    I like restored cars and classics... but from initial pictures, the selection at this TranSport show wasn't as eclectic as the last one. Plus the labor weekend sale didnt' motivate me much, either...

    The Manila Motorshow is a good example of how to do a carshow. Lots of space, good variety, lots of new models. The Autofocus show fell kind of flat, with non-participation by some makers... but partially because of the damn heat.

    What I also don't like about the TranSport show is the high vendor to display ratio... but then, that's just me.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    less atoy stuff for more entries.

    what i really didnt like about the show?. . that mazda miata with the bubble eye headlights that looked like a janitor fish. come on. . i want a pure sports car to look like a pure sports car. not some fish out of the water. .

    AGREE! fake pa yung carbon trims.

    mas ok nga Manila Motorshow. tama yung mga naunang post. bawasan ang display ng Atoy and conceptone kasi halos sinasakop na nila yung floor. tapos kapag nagtanong ka naman e sablay pa sumagot, kala mo hindi ka bibili. i would like to see more after-market parts for sale. test drives, bigger space, bigger attendace ng mga manufacturers and lots of freebies...

    I like it when they allow people to sit in the car and get the feeling of being the driver to a car that i can never afford to own.

    Since the Transport show is more on restored cars and modified rides...
    I'd want to see more cars like the one you see in Discovery Channel's Rides... most of them were done for SEMA(Specialty Equipment Market Association) shows.
    They are done with tatse...
