Should have gone to the motor show in Frankfurt, Germany. The Audi line up was brill including the RS4 and even audi bikes!

Visited the show on Saturday. (Nice to have free entry when you know people working there)
One company had about 1/4 of the total available floor space. Ford + all it's associated brands.
Disappointed not to see Audi and Porsche attend.
BMW decided to build there own hall outside. Why anyone would pay almost £100K for an M6 convertible is beyond me. At the end of the day it's still a BMW.

Sounds like a bit of a blow out. What about ferrari etc?
I remember a motor show at the NEC in birmingham before it moved to london when Porsche had a huge stand with Carrera GT etc. Audi also always used to take part. Ferrari never seemed to be too bothered as far as i can remember though.

My colleague made me aware that hardly anyone was there that he had any interest in, I'm in shock there was no Audi there especially with the recent launch of so many models. I suppose they know what they are doing.

I was there for 5 days. Most of the VAG group were no-shows. Seat were there... and Bentley (but they have to really), that's about it.

Another interesting make that was missing was subaru. I thought the UK was their biggest european market.
Unless of course and walked past it while look at the other models :wink:
