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 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.

Paris motor show partners with Equip Auto for 2022 return.

French motor show returns after four-year break in partnership with trade show equivalent.

Quote:

Now the organisers of the event have announced plans for a full-scale return from 17-23 October next year, in partnership with Equip Auto, which is one of the biggest events on the automotive trade's event calendar.

The Paris Automotive Week exhibition will be held in the usual Paris Expo venue at Porte de Versailles in the south-west of the city, but a bespoke digital platform will offer remote access to French and international visitors.
