The 6th Busan International Motor Show opened at BEXCO in the southern coastal city on Thursday featuring 22 domestic and foreign brands. More foreign brands showcase their models in this year's show than ever before, while domestic automakers try to draw visitors with modified versions of existing models as well as hybrid vehicles. Organizers expect around one million people to visit the show by the time it wraps up on June 3. Reflecting the theme of “The Voyage of the Green Car across the Ocean” adopted by the 2012 Busan International Motor Show, most automotive brands from Korea and elsewhere will spotlight their eco-friendly vehicles.
