AutoExpo 2011 was held in Helsinki, Finland this weekend.It's a quite small car show, where people have an opportunity to see cars that they rarely see in Finland.
Well, as you can see I live in Kajaani, which locates a 500km from Helsinki, but now it was a nice chance to visit my brother in Helsinki and the car show, so I drove there yesterday. We visited the show and I snapped some pics. They're not very good, just quick shots. Here they are...

Next NA cars are quite common here (I'm not sure if they're all actually made in US, though):
- Chrysler 300
- Chrysler 300C
- Chrysler Neon
- Chrysler PT Cruiser
- Dodge Caliber
- Dodge Avenger
- Dodge Journey
- Jeep Cherokee & Grand Cherokee
- etc etc

Then there's lots of little Chevrolets around (those that are made in Korea).

Great pics as usual

Its great that you had so much space around the cars to make good photos. Whenever I've been to car shows they were so crowded that it was impossible to get to the cars let alone photograph them... completely covered by fingerprints! Frankfurt was the worst ever in that respect :thumbsdown: Its funny that you actually get a much better idea of the concept cars (the actual cherry on the cake) from the car magazines and websites than by actually going to the show

I also love the lights on the floor - obviously a necessity by the lack of proper ceiling lights, but in the end are very original and somehow give the cars much more flair.
