Car dealerships are a disappearing species in Europe. Turin, London, Birmingham, and recently Geneva and Frankfurt. Many of these historical events have disappeared over the years. There is also Paris, Brussels and Munich yes, but they attract far fewer visitors than before. Manufacturers now present their new products behind closed doors, customers buy a new car online. Fortunately, we can still count on a few “bagnolar” countries continue to fulfill these great assignments. New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Tokyo. From today until Thursday, April 27, it’s the turn of the Shanghai Motor Show (China) to be in the spotlight. What new features might interest us?
