The 40th edition of the biannual 2007 Tokyo motor show is shaping up to one of the biggest ever staged. Japan's automakers will be making full use of their home-turf advantage to launch a number of the most highly anticipated production models of the year, including the Nissan GT-R, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, and the latest Subaru WRX STI. And, of course, numerous concepts in flavors ranging from possible future production cars (Honda CR-Z, Suzuki Kizashi 2) to the off-the-wall, bizarre creations (Nissan Pivo 2, Honda Puyo) that the show has become famous for will be spinning on the Tokyo turntables.
Green continues to be in, and there'll be no shortage of alternative-fuel vehicles on display, including Mazda's latest hydrogen-powered, rotary-engine machine and a hybrid SUV concept from Lexus among others. The German contingent is also making a bigger play at this year's show, with concepts from BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen washing ashore. Stay tuned to motortrend.com during the show press days, October 24-25, for all the latest directly from the Land of the Rising Sun.
