The six-day 28th annual edition of Saudi International Motor Show ended in Jeddah last week. Visitors showed tremendous interest in various 2007 models that were launched or on display. The show earned all-round appreciation for its display and cars, according to Kamal Kalass and other show organizers. Camry and Yaris stole the show at the Toyota stand of the exhibition, Kalass said, adding that the exhibition attracted a large number of visitors with young drivers showing great interest in the latest models. An added feature was the test-drive that was available for some of the models on display including Camry and Yaris. "The show was an amazing success" said Adnan Al-Khamis of General Motors.
The opening day of the motor show saw the launch of 13 new car models. Mark Pocock of Alesayi Motors said the company was able to secure SR400,000 worth of orders at the event. "Such was the success of the show that several regular participants were unable to take part this year because the whole space was booked much in advance," said Zahoor Siddique of Al Harithy Company for Exhibitions Ltd.
