Japan Day 5: Tokyo Motor Show 2007

Today was spent mostly at the Tokyo Motor Show which involved alot of walking, checking out neat cars, and more and more walking. The train ride there was long, and required many transfers, but we finally got there and the convention center area was very nice.

The show itself featured cars from all the major motor companies from US, Europe, and Asia. I'll post the whole lot of photos I took of the show, including videos, when I get back to the states. But my favorite cars I saw today were probably the Nissan Pivo 2, which of course, is the talking robot monkey concept car which swivels 360 degrees, Mercedes C63 which is a freakin nice looking sports car, and this awesome little Daihatsu van called Mud Master-C, which was a concept hybrid van.

The Lexus hybrids were freakin incredible looking, though only at conceptual stage right now. They look ready for prime time though... :)

Toyota had a driveable chair, which is pretty much a really fancy wheel chair. And Honda had a dancing 4' robot which accompanied its goofy bubble concept car.

Anyway more pics and vids later.
