Hall of Madrid, Madrid Car: is it worth it to go this week to the Madrid Auto?

Salon of the Car of Madrid has taken many turns in recent years, until becoming what we know today as Madrid Car 2016, a fair that will open its doors tomorrow, may 10, until next Monday, may 16. To begin with, the first big change we have witnessed has been its reaffirmation as fair, and not as the international motor that was yesteryear. And that is a simplest explanation. But what really matters to us is not that, but answer the following question: is it worth it to go this week to Madrid Self?

What is Madrid Car?

Currently the focus is not so since in the present sector, but in the business performance of the event, attract the client that is deciding your purchase of a car.

The International Auto show that took place years ago, as a referent of the movements of the industry, and the central hub for a few days of the news of the sector, was to evolve the concept of fair, which today defines the Madrid Auto. That is to say, evolved into a commercial event in which the great goal of brands is to get closer to the customer, show their proposals, and ultimately close the sale. Notice that this is a movement entirely logical, even, and especially, for those of us dedicated to the media engine. Logical because, in a nutshell, to cover with a vengeance the presentations, and the novelties, which are presented throughout a year, enough already with the two great annual events in Europe, the Geneva motor show, and the Salons of Paris and Frankfurt, which are alternated each year.

If we fix our attention on the manufacturers we percataremos that, even with two rooms important european of the year, there is always the temptation to abandon one of them. Ford, for example, will not be present this year in the appointment of Paris.

Talk so an event that makes all the sense if it is addressed specifically to the sale, especially if we take into account that the cost of a booth is not precisely economic. So that those car shows that came hundreds of thousands of people on a weekend, have evolved into what the organization termed as a concept “modern and efficient”, that is to say, a simple model to pay for the present.

And what attraction can you offer to the buyer?

The first great attraction, no doubt, is to find a large presence of cars and models of different brands. And that is a great incentive. Will be present Toyota and Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Fiat Group, Nissan, Suzuki, SEAT, Hyundai, Renault, Ford, Mitsubishi, Infiniti, Kia, BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover.

The second great attraction, the power to contemplate the most recent developments of the market, some of which still have not arrived at the dealers. But there is also the possibility of testing some of these cars, and access to special offers, which will probably become a good place for a hand shake to a commercial and close our next purchase, if it is that we are in the process of decision of purchase of a new car.
