Volkswagen.Das Auto.Show 2011

When I heard about the The Volkswagen.Das Auto.Show 2011, I decided to go and see for myself.  It is located at Car Park B of the National Stadium at Bukit Jalil.  It is opened to public from 10am to 10pm on September 10 and 11, 2011.

The big budget showcase comprises of temporary white structures, "Mega Dome" and "Caterpillar Dome", which are clearly visible from the main road.  Little did we know that there would be a longggg queue awaiting us.

After queuing for almost an hour, we got in, queued (again!!) for registration and got stamped... 

The Mega Dome (42m diameter, 21m tall) is laid out auditorium style, with an elevated ring that will see 12 moving cars circle 360 degrees around you. A backdrop is projected on the walls of the dome for a virtual reality effect and there is a huge VW logo on top of the igloo like structure.

The connecting Caterpillar Dome on the other hand, is a 100m long curve shaped like the creature. Held up by air and free of columns, it houses the models that VGM currently sells such as the Eos, Golf GTI and TSI, Touareg and Polo. There is also a huge F&B area with merchandise booths.

Spending almost an hour queuing outdoor and 15 minutes indoor is definitely not what I had in mind when I decided to go to this show.  Even when the admission is free, it is so not-worth-it :(

Till next week, wonder when I'll ever afford to get one of these cars ~.~
