The 2003 Tokyo Motor Show
Unfortunately for us, we have not yet had the chance to visit Japan for the annual wacky exhibition that is the Tokyo Motor Show. The 2003 show continues the trend of weird and wonderful concepts, with the added bonus of a number of nearly-production cars such as the Honda HSC and the Mazda Ibuki which are very obvious (and exciting) pointers towards the NSX and MX-5 replacements respectively.
As usual, we will add more images and news as it comes in and after the show for a couple of weeks, so make sure you come back and check out the image galleries.

The Effis may be dismissed as just another city car concept car. However, it is bristling with technology and clever thinking. It's good to know that Nissan are at least looking at some of these things! The gallery of photographs is online now.
