The 14th Indonesian International Motor Show is the 14th annual event hosted by Gaikindo to promote the sales of automobiles in Indonesia. Just like other exhibitions, we expect that there would be a lot of new and interesting products that will be available for the market. But is everything as good as we expected? What if it's not? What if some are just plain crap? It's probably tough for most manufacturers to fulfil the majority of the Indonesian market for their, sorry, lack of taste. So, let's see how it goes...

Some photo credits goes to dinner disasters, B, Bg, and DW.
The rally version of the Swift is an example of a fine-tuned instrument of speed and agility. This is what compact rally cars should look like.
A collection of REAL wheels. Forget those stupid cheesy looking sports rims, if you want to get good sports rims, this is one of your options.
The Daihatsu HVS Concept. The headlights reminded us of the new Tiburon, but better, of course.
Eco-friendly cars are always loveable, and the Honda FCX Concept is not an exception. With pure water emissions, what's not to like?
The original unpimp ze oto car... Truly a rice killer.
We always liked the build quality of Volkswagens, and as you can see here, they really do pay attention to small details.
Since we are all tired with the same old look of trucks in Indonesia, the Fuso Concept truck is definitely a relief. This could go well for a candidate to replace Optimus Prime.
A homage to Rossi, and the craftsmanship is quite nice, too
The Ford 4Trac is really living up the its potential as a future truck.
The Pajero rally car, the car that knows a thing or to when battling the unforgiving deserts.
This one can be considered as an official merchandise of the Cars movie. It's popular among the kids, and blends in rather well with McQueen, although he wasn't suppose to go that slow.
Somehow reminded us of the Aston Martin.
Come on, seriously, nobody is going to say that this is ugly, right?
Audis are brilliantly engineered, it looks sweet even in stock.
The answer to the new M class? Perhaps, but we like this even better.
It's a shame that Mazda's are not that popular here, compared to its status out there, but they do make nice SUVs... Well, except the Tribute, though.
Now this is the real deal! I bet ricers can't handle this one! Why? Because among them, going 80KPH is already considered divine.
A replica of the Subaru rally car, the rims are exceptionally good looking.
Our favorite hybrid car by far! Too bad it's inhumanly expensive here.
The Camry is the star of the show. This Aurion-based Camry is simply by far, the best luxury sedan in its class.
We just simply couldn't resist its sleek behind.
Also our favorite Group-N contestant. Compared to the Vios, the Yaris is a better choice indeed in terms of handling.
A replica of the Toyota F1 car, a formidable opponent for the others, too bad it doesn't really show its potentials this season.
The Toyota Triathlon. Toyota always seems to amaze us with their brilliantly engineered concept cars.
The extension of the Toyota Fine-S, this one is equipped with fuel cell powering its four in-wheel motors.
This is an example of an optimal advertisement. But then again, it's a Daewoo, so we thought it'll break down anyway, heheh... No offense.
You are definitely kidding, right? No, seriously... Kidding... Right?
We never recall Ferrari using an eagle as a logo... How about you?
We are really having trouble pronounciating this Lorinser knock-off's brand. Leidpats? Ledspatz? Leidspats? Lepsats? Heck, is this thing pronounciable?
Wow, spinners... We are so impressed...
Guess what's behind that almost-peeled-off logo? Yes, people it's Brabus! And guess where we found it... On a Camry...
The new Grand Vitara is really nice, until some idiot ruined it by sticking a fake racing gas tank cover on it.
The car of King Mumbo Jumbo, lord of clubbing, duke of deafness. Dug, jedag, jedug, jedag, jedug.
This is why Alto ricers exist. Remember folks, in the real world, Panthers are not for off-road.
Too bad the new Accord's tail is not even better than the previous one. It's just too bad because they did a good job the last time. Now it looks like an overgrown Baleno Next-G.
A two-tone bodykit and a red-painted mesh grill is simply the dumbest idea of all.
Carbon fiber hood and glitters? Euwwww... Remember whose car this is, folks? Heheheh. That gaylord with a video on YouTube.
If they are making it official, they should've done a better job and not those simply kampung stickers.
Dadone since the day it was born... Tough luck...
