Autumn is very nearly upon us, and soon the leaves will change, the air will cool, and the days will grow shorter. But who cares about all that when there’s so much hot-off-the-grill four-wheeled goodness to be had? Far more important is the fact that some of biggest auto shows of the year are just around the corner, with the latest luxury rides, performance vehicles, crossovers and concepts served up piping hot for car geeks like you and me. First on the menu is the Frankfurt Motor Show.
In German it’s called the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (or IAA for short), which translates as simply International Motor Show. Seems like a broad title, but there’s a reason for that. The first IAA was held way back in 1897, and since then the event has grown to become the single largest auto show in the world. These days, the IAA alternates in focus – commercial vehicles for even-numbered years, and passenger vehicles for odd-numbered years. As such, 2013 was the last time the IAA presented cars you and I actually care about, bringing in nearly 900,000 visitors, hosting 1,098 exhibitors from 35 different countries, and offering up 159 world debuts. This is home field for brands like BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen, but it’s also a world stage for any make looking to make a splash before we roll into 2016.
Epic? Absolutely. Here are 35 debuts slated to make an appearance for your previewing pleasure, plus some useful information if you plan on attending.
