Commenting on this year’s event Graeme Carver, Motorexpo President said; “The developments in the global economy of the past twelve months have had an immense impact on the automotive industry which has made the creation of our 2009 New York event the most difficult show to produce since we launched in London back in 1996. However, our unique format - being both free for the public to visit and low cost for exhibitors to attend - has allowed us to withstand this tough acid-test and following the remarkable support we have received from our exhibitors, I look forward to welcoming both manufacturers and visitors alike to the 2009 World Financial Center New York Motorexpo.”

Ric Clark, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Properties said; “Following the success of its New York City debut last fall, Motorexpo returns bigger and better to the World Financial Center. This year’s show boasts a full compliment of domestic and foreign cars designed to pique the interest of all visitors to Lower Manhattan’s premier destination for arts programs, exhibits, dining and retail. We look forward to welcoming all visitors to our 2009 event and their enjoying the experience that the best of The World Financial Center and world’s leading motor manufacturers have to offer.”
