And many told us they were very impressed with the innovative new live action features and the content of the numerous stands. Car fan Mark Lewis, from Brighton, said: "I"ve been on the 4x4 course and to the Motropolis Live Action Arena. A lot of effort has gone into both, and it seems to be paying off." Debbie Watson of Solihull, W Mids, got behind the wheel of a Daihatsu Terios Sport at the Taster Test Drive. She explained: "I"m in the market for a new car so it"s a real bonus to have a go in one of the models I am considering."

Who said hybrids had to be four-door family cars?
Just as the rakish CR-Z proves that petrol-electric technology can be cool, the Honda SKYDECK is evidence that hybrid powertrains can be transferred into full-size MPVs, too.
Also debuting at Tokyo, the SKYDECK design study features Lamborghini-style scissor front doors and twin sliding rear ones ò€“ a surprisingly practical solution for getting passengers in and out of the six-seat interior.
Just like the FCX Clarity, the worldò€™s first production fuel-cell car, the SKYDECK stores its vital components, such as the battery-stack, underneath and along its length. This layout frees up more cabin space ò€“ essential in a family car. It also gives the vehicle a much lower centre of gravity for more responsive handling and less body roll.
