Tokyo Auto Salon 2013

Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 was bigger and better than ever, expanding to another building, and offering more room for even more booths.  This show never disappoints, and is considered to rival even SEMA in the USA.  We certainly think it is better in all ways that SEMA, as it has relevant cars, not one off's like is celebrated in the US show.  The BRZ / FT86 were in huge demand, with over 125 of them on display in just about every booth.  This year was by far the busiest, and had the best cars on display than in the past.  Enjoy and we hope these give you just a little taste at the best car show the world has to offer.
