There might not be much to see from a Macan or even Porsche point of view, but still fun to see what's what.

Lots of electric and hybrid stuff on display. No diesels. Some hypercars.
Nice to see a couple new petrol Land Rover Discoveries.

It's quite heartening to see a new Suzuki Swift and the Megan RS - basically avoiding the trend to make everything electric or look sci-fi.

The BMW i5 looks hideous and it's spec sounds quite dated, especially given its 2021 target date.

Funky Honda for 2019.

RWD series R8 - yay!


Not much from Porsche apart from a teaser on dumping diesel, a new Cayenne (yawn) and the GT3 Touring (nice). No Mission E news.

Honda are taking the pi55 with the lcd screen in their model.

Makes Tesla screens look infinitesimal.

Still, it has a nice shag carpet and a 1960s arm chair :)

Agree that the GT3 Touring looks good. Manual only gearbox. But although it's not 'limited production' like the 991 911Rs made, it is certain that demand will still greatly outstrip supply. :roll:

I do kind of like it, but almost certainly out of my budget :)
