TOKYO AUTO SALON 2010: Day 1

So, today was the first day of the 2010 Tokyo Autosalon. Like last year, I wasn’t there to cover it in the traditional photojournalist day. I was helping out the guys from Auto Salon Magazine (this causes some confusion here sometimes) with translation and things like that.

However, having a cameraphone handy meant at least a few snaps were taken. Prepare for some low-resolution goodness.
