Tokyo Motor Show

 

Smoooth and elegant. I love concept vehicles, even delivery vans.

 

 

What I definitely did not know was that Toyota now has Dr Seuss employed in their concept vehicle design department

 

Long ago I had envisioned the classroom of the future to look something like this.

 

For many shy and geeky types, booth babes at various exhibits and trade shows are the only time they get to talk to real women, cute ones

 

A professionally done clay model

 

And a cringe-worthy wanna-be attempt

 

Back to what the show is really about, that and....
....hair-raising new experiences in automotive thrills (0.2 mph, maybe)

 

Disney Motors to the rescue. Success is guaranteed with this crew.

 

The Japanese version of Matchbox model cars. That was too good an idea not to copy. She's holding a replica of the Subaru BRZ racer behind her. Behind her was also a huge line that wrapped back and forth. I asked if any English speakers were there and a couple spoke up. I asked what they were in line for, a movie? A free sample? No, no, a sample, but limited and for sale, not free. One of those must-have limited show collectors editions. Moving on

 

I keep telling you, this is what the show was really about. This part of the show was for automotive design schools, parts manufacturers, toys, and such.

 

On to a different hall and some of the heavy gear. A whole side of one hall was trucks from all over.

 

And the all important booth babes here were no less cute and enthusiastic than in the sexier parts of the show
