4th Philippine International Motor Show: Part 3

Hello fellow reader/blogger.  Here's the third installment of my trip in the 4th Philippine International Motor Show.  After my visit from Honda booth, BMW is my next stop.  Just like the Mercedes-Benz, the booth of BMW gave that luxury feel.  They displayed the 3 Series M Performance cars - 328i and 335i Cabriolet -, 528i Sport M Performance car, 650i Cabriolet, and Z4.  At the center of their booth, there were merchandise on display like apparel and even road bikes.  At the end of their booth, there's a hanging performance car model.  Also, there's a room upstairs that can be viewed but I hesitated to look.

4th Philippine International Motor Show: Part 1

I visited the last day of the 4th Philippine International Motor Show held at World Trade Center in Pasay city.  I came in at around 11am in the morning and there were still few visitors.  The entrance fee for adult was Php100, for senior citizen was Php80 and for kids was Php50.  So what are the brands present in the exhibit?  You'll find out after the break.

Manila International Auto Show 2012

Me and my brother attended the Manila  International Auto Show 2012 last March 31, 2012.  The exhibit is located at World Trade Center in Pasay.  This is the 3rd day of the event.  The exhibit composed of three parts, the main hall, tent B, and PTCC.

The floor plan in the main hall

 Before entering World Trade Center, we saw many Hyundai elantra cars displayed and some sports cars that were customized.  The entrance fee was Php100 (approximately US $3) for regular attendants and a discounted fee for senior citizen.  Before entering the main hall, there's already displayed cars on the lobby like the Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz and Ford.  I noticed at the center of the lobby a DJ platform wherein two models were there.

When you entered the main hall we were greeted by cars from Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz.   Gorgeous cars from these brands were displayed at the show.  The event showcased the new released of new cars from different brand for our market.  The cool cars I saw at the event were Ford Mustang, Hyundai Genesis, Ford Ranger pickup, Dodge Charger, Range Rover Evoque, Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Jaguar XJ, Lamborghini and many more.  I didn't saw any cars from Porsche on the day I visited the event although there is a slot in the floor plan.

The second part of the exhibit is where you'll see gadgets and accessories used in cars like navigation system, speakers, paint and many more .  The place was a car park where an elevated tent was constructed.  The third part of the exhibit is where other car brands are located and mostly of them are Chinese brands.  The third part also showed restored and modified cars.

And the fun in car shows won't be complete without gorgeous models.  My top three are:

Before we went home, we joined a mini-game from Yokohama booth.  The mechanics are 1.  Find and take picture of at least five cars having Yokohama tires and 2.  Present the pictures to Yokohama booth and once verified you can pick a prize from the prize bowl.  One of the major prizes is jacket but unfortunately we only got a ballpen.

Well, that's it for my visit in Manila International Auto Show.  I definitely come back again next year.  You can check out my photos during my visit here. 

Manila Auto Salon 2011

I went to the last day of Manila Auto Salon 2011.  The said exhibit was located at SMX Convention in SM Mall of Asia in Pasay.  It's my first time to go to an auto exhibit but I do know that there will be models and babes here besides from cars, hehe.  Before you can enter the hall, you have to pay an entrance fee which is Php80 (more or less $2).  Beside the entrance, there's a display of cars models and most of them are sports car.
