2012 Sao Paulo Motor Show: is it bright in here...?
It’s Latin America’s premier motor show – you were expecting it to be colourful, right?
When Nissan issued its original teaser release about the Extrem, it commented on the predominantly boring colours of most Brazilian road cars. While I’m not entirely sure I agree with that statement anyway, there were some exhibits at the Sao Paulo show that certainly made up for it.
Say what you like about this Troller jeep, for example, but it’s certainly hard to ignore.
Chinese carmaker JAC certainly wasn’t shy about putting the MINI into its J2 supermini, with some impressive graphics packs. And if the black and white motif bores you, fret not…
…you can always go for a more, uh, vibrant option. Or even a Chinese flag. Well, why not, I guess.
Although not quite as exciting as that Jimny, Jeep Wranglers are generally more conservative than this:
And if the VW Taigun was relatively subdued on the outside, it certainly made up for it on the inside.
Volkswagen's old Buggy Up! concept wasn’t taking any prisoners either.
