You think Detroit is buzzing car-wise? Try maneuvering your way through the world’s largest auto exhibition, the Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 starting today through January 11 in Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan. More than 600 vehicles are on display, and some 300 companies repping their best wares from after-market parts to car customization wonders. There will be demonstration runs, live entertainment, test rides…just count on no one leaving dissatisfied. This year marks its 27th anniversary and over 250,000 folks are expected to attend.
