Looking at the final list of manufacturers in Auto Expo 2020, I would say it is going to be a "dud". Not a single brand which can be termed as "aspiring" will be present. I am going to give it a miss this time.

Lamborghini Says It’s Basically Done With Attending Major Auto Shows

Lamborghini Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Katia Bassi told, We decided to abandon the motor shows because we increasingly believe that to have an intimate relationship with the customer is key and motor shows are no longer aligned with our philosophy.

Who needs to visit stalls in an auto show (in India)? Sitting at my desk with my snacks I can enjoy live updates from Teambhp. In fact t-bhp can explain every minute detail. No need of any physical presence. Give an Indian auto show to Teambhp for live relay. We will show how to conduct it with no bias.

They dont let your touch the cars or talk to the models ;P so that's a definite negative. Maybe if people can touch the cars and sit in them like what journalists get to do, then I would be interested for sure.

This is really disappointing.

They had the best models. Cars were nice too.
