The International Motor Show or Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) is known in English as the Frankfurt Motor Show. The IAA is organized by the Association of the German Automotive Industry (VDA). Since 1992 the show is split in two: Even numbered years show commercial cars in Hannover and odd numbered years passenger vehicles (including some motorcycles) in Frankfurt. The show is scheduled by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), which considers it a major international auto show.
If there's one thing that distinguishes the Frankfurt Motor Show from the other international auto shows, it's the sheer size of its displays. Spread out over roughly 10 halls, walking the show floor means putting in at least a few good miles. It takes 10 minutes just to get from one hall to another, and once you're in them they have so many cars on display you can spend hours in each one.
