Pumunta ako friday and saturday (Nov. 6 & 7). Pansin ko lang parang "nilangaw" ang auto-show (ng autofocus) ngayon compared last year. I just dont know kung madami pumunta sa last day. tsk tsk tsk.

Was there Sun late afternoon. Konti lang tao so I thought either marami nang nakapunta hence the crowd was thinning out or people had already bought their new cars so those that haven't or the curious onlookers like me were the only ones drawn to this event.

Kia had some interesting offerings like the Forte but one of the reps told me na wala pa raw ang final pricing nito coz they're still doing market studies. I wonder if they'll get greedy again and try to price this close to the top-end Civic or Lancer.

Btw, that press release claim - "The Year's Biggest Auto Show" - let's just say, you can't always believe what you read, even if it comes out in the newpapers. Wala man lang magagandang car show girls, except for 2 bored looking mini-skirted chicks at the Toyota display.
