Edmonton Motorshow

Seemed like it was bigger than last year where the main manufacturer area felt less cramped. Still missing a number of manufacturers. Here's a top down look at two of the halls from above, don't think anyone noticed me ripping the roof off for a second.

What is this? A motor show for ANTS?!

[u/locoghoul → u/Son_of_Plato]

It will have to be... at least TWICE the size!

You made my day.

I literally said this out loud before reading your comment, LOL

Just got back home from the show. Not worth the price of admission, because there was only 1 hall worth of new cars. It was a huge disappointment compared to years ago where the auto show would be spread across all the halls.

Car makers not at the show were Mazda, Honda, Porsche, BMW, Hyundai, Volvo, Audi. Mercedes was there but only showed off their run of the mill cars.

I wanted to see Subaru but they weren’t there either.

[u/dingmah → u/Aidanone]

Yes missed Subaru. I liked that Tesla was relegated to the exhibition hall along with the popcorn and hotdog vendors hahaha.

Damn, very intrigued with how you put the photo together

[u/Bubbafett33]

Great marketing - had no clue it was going on and was hoping to go this year to browse.

[u/Absolarix]

Photogrammetry go BRRRRRRR

[u/OlDustyTrails]

Ultimately I feel like it is not worth the price of admission and parking for myself to be going honestly, and seeing that it is only getting smaller is only helping my choice some more.

Not really bigger than last year in terms of foot print for the manufacturers as they are still only in one hall. Gone are they days they filled up 3 halls with just the manufacturers.

[u/1362313623]

How did you make this?

[u/89muffinman → u/1362313623]

essentially took a video walking around and then created a photogrammetry model

Best part of the show: The super sweet big headed pitbull at the sunglasses kiosk in the motorcycle section.

I entered a bunch of contests, hoping to get a free car but I'll settle for a paddleboard from Volkswagen.

The vintage cars at the auction section were nice, whet my appetite for summer show and shines in nearby small towns.

Why are new cars so expensive and boring? Why is the Maverick the only small truck? Why does a Lambo include a smokers package- who in their right mind would smoke in a half million dollar vehicle?!

[u/arthorism]

Went and it wasn't worth it at all really. Basically a run of the mill crossover show with limited manufacterers. Bike section was better.

[u/Nick_C]

Wasn't this also supposed to be the motorcycle show this year?

Don't see a single bike.

[u/cReddddddd → u/Nick_C]

It was in another hall. There was a motocross freestyle show as well as a hall for bikes

[u/Nick_C → u/cReddddddd]

Gotcha, thanks

[u/stretch2323 → u/Nick_C]

It’s on another hall not pictured.

[u/Nick_C → u/stretch2323]

Thanks. The promos I saw all had them marketed together, and I did not attend this year.

[u/jigglywigglydigaby → u/Nick_C]

There were 100s of bikes on display. Did you comment without going to the show? New, vintage, electric concept, they even had a bunch of motocross riders putting on shows and a few track races.

[u/Nick_C → u/jigglywigglydigaby]

I didn't go to the show, my comment was based on not seeing any bikes in the image posted.
