Title: Volkswagen Das Auto Show 2011 GTG
Post by: siodee on September 07, 2011, 03:13:17 PM
Event Duration    :    Sat, 10 Sep 2011 - Sun, 11 Sep 2011
Company             :    Volkswagen. Das Auto.
Location                    :    Bukit Jalil Stadium, Car Park B
Time                        :        decide ourselves

Well, this GTG was created from another thread, currently there are 2 groups of GTG, my guess is first in MWF, same place but 2 different date

Saturday 10 Sept
1) Omnipotent
2) Alvin C.

Sunday 11 Spet
1) Siodee
2) Alvin C.

Dont get me wrong, we do not intend to compete each other, just some prefer Sat and some prefer Sun. Now obviously you see Alvin name appear twice, cause he really give face  :thumbsup:

So, whoever want to join us, please do so... :Cheers:

P/S : Since it is German car show, make sense to have a German watches GTG, so Sinn and Damasko owners will be happy to GTG and showcase the watches. Well, I will wear soon deliver Damasko, and my session is on Sunday  ;D

Ya lor. No beautiful chics around like most auto show, so maybe a bit lukewarm response unless for diehard VW fans or "anything German" fans.

The only good thing is free admission, unlike the KLIMS.

The crowd was long, very long.
Even after I left the area at 6.15pm the line is half the length of Bkt Jalil car park.

Last pic in the earlier post taken from peak of  Bkt Jalil during my evening walk.

Was wearing this when I took the pics :

aii.... Das Auto show was to me quite a let down. After the queue of 40plus minutes, you are ushered into the "worm" hole to see some existing VWs. All the cars are locked.. :thumbsdown:

Being only a handful of models available, very soon everyone was bored and wanted to move on to the next stage of the event..the dome view..
So, off all couple of hundreds folks cramped into small revolving doors and into the dome stadium. Panoramic scenes were projected onto the dome skin, and various models of VW cars were driven around the stage.
At the end of the show, selected individual cars were driven down from the stage onto the dome floor for folks to have a close up view, then it was driven away.

A good 15 minutes later, show ends and everyone got off a door that leads to the outside of the dome. THE END.
Its totally an anti-climax experience indeed bordering kinda let-down.

There's no static cars displayed outside for you to check them out, feel it, sit in it etc.., not even a test drive, nothing.

I would say VW Mktg did a good job to stir interest but pretty lacking in actions of selling the cars.

I went on Sun evening.

Still, after seeing the Golf TSI, I find it too simple inside & out. No leather seats also... but the engine & tranny, warranty are good.

2-door car does not fit my profile with 3 kids.  ;D

Maybe consumers nowadays are spoiled with too much options... hard to make decision sometimes.
