Did you know there was a British Motor Show? Probably not. It was never much of a stage for big debuts, at least not lately, so the news that next year's show has been cancelled isn't exactly much of a letdown. If anything, it's yet another indication of the weakness of the industry, but unless you were hoping to see yet another Lotus unveil it probably won't matter much in the grand scheme of things.

phew good thing I have 3+ big autoshows a year in my region that are easy to visit.
Texas State Fair, Dallas Autoshow, Fort Worth Autoshow, Houston Autoshow, etc...
I love Texas.
Brits suck. Get back to your "walking".
Us fat state enjoy luxury car life. No car for you. And trucks rule. Silly car people.

There's both a Dallas and a Fort Worth autoshow? You gotta be pulling my chain.

The Fort Worth auto show at the Fort Worth Convention Center is called the
Greater Tarrant County Autoshow.
It's about 2 weeks-1 month before the Dallas one.

All manufacturers show for both the Dallas and Fort Worth.
The Texas State Fair all American and Asian automakers show, no Germans.
Foolish Brits.

btw there was no fence rail thingy around the Ford Interceptor at the Fort Worth autoshow. Everyone can molest the Interceptor hands on. Very nice.
Oh but the Fort Worth one doesn't have Ferrari-Aston-Maserati class cars, just the Dallas one does.
Just boring old MB S-Class, BMW 7, Lexus LS, Audi A8 show up. You know, boring crap.
