Auto Salon is dying, we all know that, we all saw it on the weekend, but why?

Well, lets have a look at the CABIN group to find out why.

CABIN could not give two %#%$'s about cars. They care about one thing. Exploiting teenagers to get financial gain.

It was probably 2 years ago that Auto Salon peaked in Melbourne. The crowds, traders, cars and babes were plentiful and accessible.

But in those two years, CABIN has made it go all horribly wrong and not lead the pack as it like to think, infact it has divided the pack.

The divide sees the "elite" cars, the OSMAN"S wrx, the MCBETH Magna, the big dollar show cars into one section and the honest working class cars in the other section. Unfortunately these elite cars win most of the big awards time and time again, eliminating the desire of the honest joe to build a decent street car with a budget.

So, with that in mind when you decide to attend the event, you car be sure of a few things, the increased entry fee for spectators, entrants, clubs and traders. ( yet the mecc does not charge more), and the appearance of what is now to be called teenage hoe bags.

- Just as a side note, the young girl in promo girl is not a first, last year a commodore entrant under a multiclor tent had a young boy dressed a "genie" walking through the crowd on his own, The boy was apporximately 8-10 yrs, pants, no shirt and a genie hat. The boy and his parents were "escorted from the premises". It was sickening to see.

Auto Salon used to have some sort of standards, whether it be for the cas or the promo staff, in fact for the girls they all used to be over 18 ( it was a condition of entry as a promotional person), this was changed a little while ago and as a friend (professional photographer) has told me, has left him with images of an event that he cannot use, sell, or distribute and is essentially a waste of time.

Anyway, a little off topic, but lets have a look at the mechanics of the show, you pay, your car sits there, it is critisized by 15yr olds with no brains, it is touched (possibly damaged) by people with no respect for anything, and has been the trend in sydney anyway is stolen after the event.

It never ceases to amaze me after 10 years of car shows that the "backyard expert" still knows nothing about everything. ( oh and they get charged for the sms to vote for your car they nothing about)

Where is the motivation for the entrant to endure this type of treatment? there is none.

So, where is the show scene going to now?

Honestly, and this is only my beleif, it is going to on track events, drags drifting etc, you only need to look at the success of powercruise, easternats, gazzanats, targa etc to see there has been a shift away from the cabin money making machine back to the real driving and real pleasure and pride people have in thier cars.

So am i sarcastic? possibly, but let auto salon close down, let that other melbourne import show "show off' close down, both are dead events and really no on e cares anymore.

Perhaps SAU should put in some money and make its own on track national event series.

My 2cents.

^^^^

you've put waaaay too much thought into this.... its autosalon! if people still frequent the event the organisers are still gonna do it. Maybe you should start a petition and start a "Ban Autosalon" campaign...
