Kuala Lumpur International Motorshow, Part 2

Great, we stopped at hall 2 of the show were there were cars and showgirls! Beautiful. Beauty and tech!

Okay, that was just half of hall 2, time to go upstairs. First thing that came to the eyes when we first got up to the stairs the first show that greeted us was Duccati's superbike. Great showgirls as well. One was sitting beautifully on a superbike! Alright, off with Duccati. Next, airbrush paint art! I cought my eyes on a very beautiful Toyota Supra detailed by Meguiars.



Great, next up, nothing much really until we came to Philips' booth. Their showgirl was so sexy~! Alright, did catch some photos. Next up, Volvo. Not our kind of cars but some are beautiful! Went along the first floor of the second hall, nothing much intresting but some banks for instant credit card and so on. So, that's the end of the first floor in the second hall.

Next, Hall 3! It's time to wall all the way back from hall 2 to hall 3. A long walk. So, we are at the doors of the hall, and we come to a French carmaker, Peugeot. Peugeot displayed a range of cars. Including the one that had been signed with Naza Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Their 407 is on the floor and much was there as well. Next, we have Mitsubishi Motors in the house!!! I got my hands on the Evolution XI. Mitsubishi is coming up with a car called the Concept X. There was Kia on the floor as well. Not to forget, Mazda! I got my hands onto a MX-5. The best roadster out there. Nimble, light, and fast! A local carmaker, Perodua was there to show off their 2 new models. The sports version of Kelisa and Myvi. There is also a concept car in their booth. Not show what's the new name though. It's currently coded XX-2. This car fest was not just about new cars and concept cars. It is also about some old cars as well. I found myself drawn to the DB6. A version after the famous James Bond (Sean Connery) drove the DB5 back in the 60s. Beautiful car owned by a Malays bloke. Must have dumped quite an amout of money onto that car.

Great, that's the end of hall 3. Next! Hall 4. We have so much in Merdeka Hall. But only 3 carmakers were there. Namely, Ford, Toyota and Volvo. VOLVO'S SHOWGIRL ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!! Got my hands on a Ford Focus. Toyota unleashed thier concept cars, CS&S, and a racing unit. Don't really remember what's the name of the machine. Volvo brought along their concept car as well called the 3CC. Namely 3 seater concept car. Strange, but it looks quite beautiful as well. Not to forget, the showgirl next to it... (I'm in dreamland!)

Alright, that's for the fourth hall. Next! the last hall where Mercedes Benz and Honda resided. Mercedes Benz brought out their supercar. 605BHP, about 600+KG and with a max speed of 201mph (approximatly, don't remember the exact value). Glugs up a full tank if you really step down the throttle in about 12 minutes. And that all is the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. Donald Trump has a unit! (the big feeling of wanting one myself!) Great, no concept car by Mercedes Benz. Maybe their keeping their lip tight. NEXT! HONDA!! Honda's main attraction was not just thier cars. Their humonoid, ASIMO was there! Honda brought out 3 of their new concept cars. One a Sports 4 Concept and the other, FCX. The last of them all is a hybrid car. Still in development and I'd hope that they would have one in the market. The first hybrid car that is already in the market is Toyota Prius. Hope that they would do a better job.

That's all from the motorshow!
