Reports have emerged that the 2010 British Motor Show has been canceled due to poor attendance and a struggling economy. The decision was made during a meeting of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, which has been the organizer of the motor show for the past century.
At one point, the motor show attracted up to 900,000 visitors, but recently held shows featured only half of that figure. Looking at the downward trend, there is a good possibility that the entire show might be canceled all together. Even the recently held motor show in Detroit saw reduced participation from auto manufacturers while the Tokyo Motor Show also has a rather bleak future. Down south, the 2009 Sydney Motor Show has also been canceled.
Harvinder Singh Sidhu thinks there's nothing better than Formula 1, not even sliced bread. Having written about cars since 2006, he plunged head first into the industry out of a passion for all things four-wheeled and everything in between. The F1 enthusiast has been following the sport since 1999 and has been keeping up with it since. In between races he keeps himself busy as the host of the Driven motoring TV programme and as our version of the Joker.
that's not good …
No great pics to come. Oh well at least we have other car shows.
Not what i'd get fussy about.
Signs of the times. Malaysia should also emulate it. Shows like the LIMA in Langkawi has long been a failure, and yet the govt is still flogging it to the world. The Singapore and Hongkong shows have overshadowed LIMA and many of the big boys are giving Langkawi a pass.
