High Expectations for the Abu Dhabi International Motor Show 2010

Despite many of the global economies experiencing challenging times, the UAE still retains its position as one of the world's richest consumer markets. It has long been the focus of international automotive manufactures and sellers to build up their presence in this lucrative region.
If the success of the recently concluded Dubai International Motor Show 2009 is anything to go by, there are strong expectations that the Abu Dhabi Show 2010 will also get off to a wonderful start. For auto enthusiasts, both the Dubai and Abu Dhabi Auto Shows are events of regional and international significance. This is because international car makers get to show and market their goods to the regional UAE market. These auto shows are held once every two years. By some estimates, the 2009 Dubai exhibition pulled in over 100,000 affluent visitors from all around the UAE and its neighboring regions- Kuwait, Bahrain, Iran, North Africa, the CIS and even the Indian Subcontinent. A total of over 600 participants from 27 countries presented the best in design and technology in the auto world. Included in Dubai’s 2009 Motor show were 13 world premieres, 40 regional launches and over 200 new models covering super cars, concept cars and hybrids.

The 13th Abu Dhabi Motor show is scheduled to be held from 7-11 December 2010 at the Abu Dhabi National Convention Center. On display will be the latest models, premier launches, hybrid cars, SUVs, concept cars, motorcycles and much more.
