Tokyo Motor Show 2011 - A
walk round Review
Two years ago, in the midst of the
worldwide financial crash, the 2009 Tokyo motor show felt like a tiny regional
event as Western manufacturers abandoned ship. Not this year. The 2011 Tokyo motor show was different, with Audi (A1
Sportback), BMW (ActiveHybrid 5) and VW (Cross Coupe concept and Passat
Alltrack) all unveiling new metal. But much more important was what was on
offer from the domestic brands. The Japanese delivered in spades at Tokyo 2011,
and two themes stood out: a spate of clever commuter vehicles and a rash
of affordable sports cars designed to mix performance with purity. Daihatsu, Suzuki and Honda all displayed tiny Renault
Twizy-alike urban runabouts, while Nissan revealed its third and final Pivo
concept. ‘It will complete the series,’ Nissan’s chief creative office Shiro
Nakamura told CAR. ‘The next model should be mass produced.’ Nakamura plans to have the Pivo on sale within five years, as
the public starts to accept that EVs can be both different to drive and to look at. Pivo 3 will grow a little in size to meet crash regulations,
but it - and the plethora of other little city specific cars in Tokyo - shows
just how serious manufacturers are taking urban mobility. Between now and 2016
Nissan, Infiniti and partner Renault hope to sell 1.5m electric vehicles, a
huge leap from the 20,000 Leafs it’s sold in the past 12 months. Nissan-Renault
boss Carlos Ghosn knows they’re not the solution, but one of many. I only hope
the public are prepared to accept and embrace them
