The 2007 Tokyo Motor Show has now come to the end of its long 17-day run and organizers said visitors to this 40th show reached 1,425,800, putting it on a par with the Paris Salon in terms of attendance.
Fair enough, except at that level, the gate was actually down 86,300 from the last show in 2005 and a long way off the all-time record of 2,018,500, set back in 1991.
Nonetheless, 14,300 members of the press covered the show, the organizers said, which was a new record and 1000 higher than the previous show.
