2008 Moscow International Motor Show. This year has received the 'A' status, so the exhibition was very impressive. I don't yet have the photos of all the interesting cars exhibited, cause the battery didn't live up to the end, but I'll go there once more next weekend and will take much more pictures.

Thanks. They've shouted about the reception of the status everywhere - in press, on their website etc.. I don't have a list of the A shows, though.

Toronto's show is supposed to be one of the 5 internationally sanctioned or whatever show....but it still usually sucks....

[M_M]

What's that badge on the Superb's back saying? V8???:confused:
And yeah, what about the quad-exhaust?

[faksta]

Thanks, guys!
Damiano, this time the battery wasn't enough to capture the Kazamai, as it was in a last room that I visited, but next weekend I'll take a bunch of pics. It looks really beautiful in real life, especially for SUV...

And I've looked up about that Superb, but found nothing - the top engine is a 3.6 V6. Think I'll just ask there when I'll come again :) Though I believe it is written 'V6' there, not 'V8', as they were to present an AWD V6 version.

It could be the old Benetton B199 (or more likely the B200), the nose and side vents look very similar
that's not an R28 for sure, LOL:D
