Day One at the Motor Show - Revisited

Apparently today is day one, and so yesterday must have been day zero, and the press launch would have been day minus one. I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Yesterday's interesting little factoid about SUVs brings us to the question which I intend to skirt around and eventually fail to answer in this blog - is the motor industry starting to move in the right (low emissions) direction, or is the occasional bit of good news just greenwash to keep the likes of me happy whilst everyone else gets on with the serious business of getting a bigger, shinier car than their neighbours? Motor shows are supposed to give you a feel for what the cars of the near future will look like, so what sort of future is on display at the Excel centre?

Complimentary glass of champagne
Welcome to the VIP Gala Opening of my motor show weblog. Please enjoy your complementary glass of virtual champagne.

I'm very excited about this exhibition, as my memories of motor shows are very fond. Last time I went with a friend from school who had a Ferrari owners' club membership card, which made us the only thirteen year-olds allowed onto the Ferrari stand.
