The Japan Automobile Manufacturers’ Association is debating whether to cancel the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, a JAMA executive said today.



The debate is driven in part by fewer non-Japanese automakers’ having signed up to take part in the October show amid the global financial crisis. But some Japanese exhibitors also are proposing that the show be canceled this year.

“A couple companies are not in favor of organizing the show under these conditions, but that is not JAMA’s opinion,” Toshihiro Iwatake, JAMA’s executive director and secretary general, told Automotive News.

Who cares, this is only a Japanese car show. The only important car shows are the German ones.

It's pointless for Tokyo to have the show. Everything that needs to be seen has already been seen at the Detroit show.

Very unfortunate if it happens. Any car show is great fun to see and is also great for the industry. I hope it goes as planned and that we get to see some great cars.
