The 22th Thailand International Motor Expo 2005 kicks off today with the debut of many new models and a dazzling display of technology and innovation provided by many car companies around the world.
Under the concept "Automotive Vehicles ... Challenge the Changing World", the Motor Expo at the 100,00-square metre Muang Thong Thani will run until Dec 12. It is touted as the largest auto exhibition in Southeast Asia.
The focal point of interest in the event will be a throng of new cars on display including the Audi A4, Brabus S-Class, Chevrolet Corvette and Optra State, Citroen C4, Ford 4-Trac and Focus, Hartge 650, Honda New Civic, Jaguar Xj6, Land Rover Sport, Mazda MX-5, Nissan Murano, Saab 9-3 Sport and Sport Combi, Ssangyong Kyron, Subaru Impreza and Forester, Volvo C70 and Wald Stepwagon.
Chinese-made motor vehicles, including motorcycles and one-tonne pickup trucks, will also be showcased.
Kwanchai Papatpong, chairman of Inter-Media Consultant Co, the organiser of the Motor Expo, estimates total car sales in the event this year would be at least 15,000 units.
Exhibitors this year include 30 car brands from eight countries and 300 car parts and accessories manufacturers.
But premium car manufacturers Mercedes Benz and BMW are absent from the car show this year, as well as Toyota Motor Thailand Co, the country's largest automobile company.
Toyota instead will participate indirectly through its dealers.
