Seoul Motor Show 2005
Sunday lunchtime I was browsing the news and read about this show.
I had four hours to get there and see it before it closed, so I grabbed my camera and made a dash for the bus.
Among the many cars and ladies on show at Seoul's KINTEX was, for me the star of the show, Honda's Asimo.

Korea's actually developed it's own humanoid robot called Hubo, which I heard is to improve and develop so as to soon better Japan's
Asimo.
Anyway, the native Hubo was nowhere to be seen and Asimo did his own show - all in Korean!
There's a short clip here of him dancing and walking up stairs.

This was one of the
Honda cars on display.

(A car. Korean. Super. And the engine's in the middle.)


The most photographed legs in Korea, I bet. (Sitting in a Ford.)

Infiniti's dangling acrobats.

A GM Daewoo model.

The girl wearing the least
clothes, sitting on a Saab.
Volkswagen's trumpeters.


Tamborining ladies.
The shows most popular girl, I heard.


This Italian trio were among
the show's most futuristic.

This was my favorite Korean contribution.
I can't remember who made it!
Peugeot's fashion show. 

A very nice BMW.
