Star cars line up for 2009 Melbourne Motor Show
Tuesday February 3, 2009, posted by Staff
Star cars from around the world are lining up to make their Australian debuts – and at least one global debut – at the Melbourne Motor Show which opens on 27 February.
The 75th Melbourne Motor Show is the only major motor show to be staged in Australia in 2009, and global car companies are making the most of it.
BMW heads the list of exhibitors which are taking extra space to show off their latest models.
Its M1 Homage show car will be the star of a dazzling two-stand display which makes BMW the biggest exhibitor at this year’s Show, along with several still-secret production BMW models.
Show organisers have calculated that the local and global brands on show represent 94.7 per cent of Australia’s total car sales.
Among the stars already confirmed are the new Lexus RX350, Lotus Evora, Bentley Speed and Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder. Volkswagen and Lexus are also mounting their biggest-ever show stands, while Holden retains its status as the biggest single-stand exhibitor.
