It seems the truth is a little different from what we believed
Qatar’s first concept sports car unveiled at motor show http://dohanews.co/qatars-first-concept-sports-car-revealed-at-motor-show/ via dohanews
The picture in the post shows it, so it must exist.
Maybe it's 'Made in China'?
i was actually waiting to see their manufacturing plant in qatar but could not find it
Did anyone see the Concept Car ?
It was as expected.
- Personnel only able read from a script of specifications.
- No real information on prices
- Banks trying to sell you personnel loans
- Great advantage to see most of the new cars in one place. Saves me on gas around Doha.
- Great opportunity to get the kids to expend some energy.
WELL WORTH THE ENTRANCE FEE ;)
Disappointing really. You cannot get in without registering first which is slow and tedious.
Once inside it is small in comparison to previous years. I agree with the previous comments many manufacturers not represented and the models looked absolutely bored.
Looked at the new Audi SQ5 and RS Q3 but no one could tell me when it is available and the price. Similar story with some other manufacturers...
they wash their hands with petrol after touching the engines.
I hope he washed his hands afterwards
what an observation Nano. Lolz
I have seen pics where there are. one guy from bosch is even seeing taking pics and putting his hand behind them
Car shows without leggy women are like Rizks' Emporium without Karak.
You need to visit to see the leggy women
Hi Brity, utter disappointment, even the ladies did not show legs, because it was cold. the Models looked like they did not enjoy. Although I saw a hungry old gentleman, touching the models like he never seen one in person, apart from TVs. That was the only thing I saw that was interesting, I left after 40 minutes. It felt like walking through a group of dealerships. Kia wasn't there!
What the hell is this ugly website? Guys can you revert back or the old version which is also very ugly but still better than this one/ And can you for goodness sake remove all these stupid Google Ads or limit their number to 1 or 2 per page?
Did they have leggy women with lots of makeup and tight trousers draping themselves over the cars ?
It was boring! Like going to a dealership gathering, nothing special about it
No Lamborghini, No Bugatti, No modified cars and Only some Harley-Davidson for bike lovers. :(
6pm
what time were u there
Are you sure it is at DECC? We went down this evening and the place was closed! We were not the only ones there looking baffled! Are you sure its not at the QNCC? This is the second time where an event has been advertised at DECC and it the place is closed!

Will there be any Kias present
