Cashless Carnival

The pictures are posted in the order in which I navigated through the entire show on the 14th of January. I focussed only on cars and stayed away from the ones that are already there in our showrooms.

Mercedes and Audi Pavillion

I was surprised not to see BMW in the German stall and felt they had not made it to the Auto Expo this year. But a few stalls later, I spotted the angel eyes.

FIAT and TATA Pavillion

For me, this was the best part of the show. In my opinion, both TATA’s and FIAT put up a fabulous show and 2008 belongs to them.

The German contingent - Part 2

Volkswagen

They had all their models out there from the Beetle to the Touareg, but there was just no space in the stall to venture around.

Skoda

I was hoping to see the Fabia RS, but it wasn’t out there.

BMW

It was such a pleasure to see the angel eyes.

DC Design

With his stunning Ambierod..

Hyundai

The ones who’d put up the lousiest show. I missed getting the picture of the shoddy alloy wheel on the Accent displayed in the stall, else you’d have instantly realised what I am talking about. Nevertheless, here’s the Hyundai series:

Honda

Let me know what you think about the new Accord.

Chevrolet

The usuals..looked like a GM showroom to me. The only surprises were the Captiva, a few concepts and the Hummer H3. I could not get the picture of the Hummer H3 since there were people all over it.

I just fail to understand why GM is not advertising or showcasing the Magnum SRV at all. The Optra Magnum did a decent job of denting the Ocatvia sales and the SRV can also sell numbers, but not many know that the Magnum engine has gotten on to the SRV as well.

M & M

The last, but my no means the least..

Maruti

I did not get to any of the bikes pavillion, but as I was just passing by the Yamaha’s I noticed this gorgeous sweetheart standing right near the gate and she was in such an excellent condition. It had been ages since I had seen such a stunning one.
