What about the Frankfurt Motor Show?

Even if the Tokyo Motor Show does, doesn't the Frankfurt Motor Show have a lot of momentum? So I looked at the repo of the 2017 show. Then I read something like this.

[I was surprised once again when I saw the contents of the exhibits at the highly unusual "Frankfurt Motor Show.
September 14-24, 2017 Frankfurt Exhibition Hall.Approximately 810,000 visitors, a significant decrease from the previous year (2015) of approximately 930,000 visitorsThe first time, the company was in a position to do so.(omitted)Among Japanese manufacturers, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors did not exhibit.and even European manufacturers.Peugeot of France, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), and Volvo of Sweden did not exhibit.This eliminated the need for a temporary pavilion in the courtyard.(omitted)
Japanese manufacturers as well asFew new models were announced by European manufacturers other than Germany.The difference between the German manufacturers, who displayed numerous new models and concept cars in their large booths, and the other manufacturers was so obvious.

The Geneva Motor Show seems to be quite successful, but the Frankfurt Motor Show seems to have lost some of its former vigor.

In the past, concept cars were usually actually built and displayed at motor shows, but recently they've been showing things like concept cars in Gran Turismo on the PlayStation.

I remember saying that. In fact, Gran Turismo on the PlayStation hasAudi, Honda, McLaren, Subaru, Lexus."Car makers have come out with a variety of concept cars, such as And you can actually drive them in the game. The environment surrounding the announcement of new cars and concept cars has changed dramatically over time.

Also, recently, car manufacturers have been making and showing concept movies on Youtube, and looking at the number of accesses, there are quite a few, so perhaps using the power of the Internet is more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to exhibit at a motor show.

But.The impression you get when you actually see the car with your own eyes and the atmosphere of the venue are also important, so it would be nice if the real world and the Internet work well together.I guess.

Then, going to the Frankfurt Motor Show to cover the show is a rather reckless dream.

By the way, the Frankfurt Motor Show is scheduled to be held next year, as the Frankfurt Motor Show is held in odd-numbered years in 2018. I wish I could go to Germany again.
