TOKYO AUTO SALON

Alan and Andrew are rounding up the highlights from the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022, a tuner focused show that is worth paying attention to because a lot of ideas and themes get explored at their most undiluted form, by manufacturers experimenting and trying to wow audiences.

Toyota GR GT3 Concept

Daihatsu Atari Camper Concept

Honda N WGN Picnic Concept

Honda K Climb Concept

Mitsubishi K EV Concept X-Style

JACK IT UP AND SHOVE IT ON KNOBBLIES

Much of the show was either slammed to the ground as though suspensions had just given up or jacked up and shoved on knobblies. We like the second option so have focused on them.
