Sydney Motor Show, Waste of Time and Money

[Hot-Rod]

Just got back from the Syd motor show, it was the same old stuff, with a different colour and different day. The only good bit was the Holden stand.

Apart from that i paid $17.00 bucks for the experience as well. Anyone else been to the syd motor show and thought the same thing?.

Cheers.

thoughts welcome.

I thought it was lame too. I was in and out within 20 minutes last year.

A few nice pics there though mate.

Do they have lamborghini or porsche this year?

That's what let it down majorly last year. I did two laps of the place trying to find value for money, but was out of there after 30 minutes last year. The boat show interests me much more these days.

I much prefer to go to Sexpo with my mrs and a few friends, more exciting!!

Perhaps if Melbourne and Sydney got over their squabbling and just let one city have the big motor show it might be better off.

Having a stand at a motor show is VERY expensive so other than the big manufacturers such as Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Holden... The others often pick and choose with alot of companies going to Sydney one year, Melbourne the next.

The Australian market is too small to have 2 major motor shows. Companies paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to show their cars to a rather limited audience (comparitably) is not exactly inviting.

Agreed. Melbourne should have it and Sydney should give up

It's not the same thing but different city... The melbourne and sydney shows are much larger than ours, more cars, more stands. They're actual international motor shows... Ours is just a holden, ford and 3 or 4 mitsubishis show

did they have much cars locked?

[roby02]

be thankfull at least you guys get to see some concepts ect
here in Adelaide we get stuff all just the same crap you can get at any dealer
went to the last one dont recall any jags mercs lambos ect just the stuff i already said
but even still they are a rip off
and i dont think this thing about it only being in sydeny or melbourne is right as then the rest of the country misses completely
the shows should be the same in each state

I hate how people think being into cars means going to motor shows.

Why the hell do I care about the current model Camry or Mazda? If I wait long enough I may get my picture taken in a few cars I wouldn't otherwise.

I may get a look at a Lambo or Ferrari, from a distance of 3m and everyone else in the way.

I'm usually disappointed by motor shows.

As for Sexpo, it's perfect if you're in the market to buy a vibrator. It wasn't really anything special though.

motor show is alright. but as Shounak who cares about the new camry or mazda one. should be cheaper though


sexpo is ****. when i went, i was 18 and i thought it would be something good. like who the **** wants to see a penis puppet??? sure you see tits and stuff but at the end of the day it aint really worth it.
