Always a fun show.   Let's see .  . .  Do I want to be driving a new Tank or a Frigate???   Thanks for posting the pics!

Great to see some "colours" rather than the now boring off-white, off-black, off-red and off-silver which seem to almost the only colours on most brands made in Thailand these days.

What make is the first gray car in the pictures?

Is there any benefit from buying during a show as opposed to at the show?

 

For normal cars, not luxury or super.

Girlfriend bought a new MG4 EV at the show.  The benefit over our local dealership was that 8 years of free maintenance was included in the price.   Otherwise, I can't see any benefit...  actually a bit of a pain as she had to go back up to BKK to pick up the car.

 

I got an MG EP EV (now called 'MG ES') 2 years ago when they first came out here in Thailand.  I have serious car envy now, the MG4 is by far the better vehicle.  Designed from ground up as an EV, rear  wheel drive, 50/50 weight distribution and far nicer suspension.  Not as comfy, but handles incredibly well for a sub 1 million baht car (after EV discount from government, and only available to Thais).   MG4 has a smaller trunk/boot, but feels a little larger in the passenger area.

 

Pretty smart marketing for an EV as in 55,000km and 2 years, my MG EP has required the addition of windshield washer fluid and literally nothing else except a set of tires as it is way too fun to light them up with the instantaneous full torque from stop lights.  :D

Why would you buy these cars/bikes?

Thai highways/roads/sois are abysmal.

Either you had a proper camera or I was just hideous looking, but the beauties turned away from me and pretty much posed for the "professional" cameras there.  Maybe I went the wrong day.

I just had a phone. I stood among the professional photographers ????
