The Tokyo Auto Salon used to be a kind of underground pirate event. Now, though, the show is big business. Japan’s car industry takes it very seriously, seeing the Tokyo Auto Salon as a way to boost sales in a sluggish market and especially to get through to Japan’s 18-30 year olds.
Despite the economic downturn, the show hosted a record number of exhibitor stands this year (388) and had more than 600 cars on display.
