If you thought Auto Expo 2010 was a mad rush with 25 launches, what would you make of the 2012 edition which will see 35 new launches, according to Economic Times?
Everyone who attended the show last year would agree that the event was a disaster. Even on the so called “media days” general public were let in and launches were held minutes away from each other on locations that would take 20 minutes or more to reach by foot inside the Pragati Maidan complex.
And distribution of media passes gave us a feeling of being left out. We registered online with many weeks left for the deadline, but we failed to get our passes. We had to rush to the entry stall on the morning of the show to procure one, and that wasn’t a smooth affair either. They weren’t entirely sure if we deserved one.
Accommodating 35 launches within a span of two days under one roof will be the recipe for yet another disaster. The show organizers have to think this one out properly. They are toying with the idea of having parallel venues, and that’s a start.
They also have to alter or correct their understanding of “media days” and study up about the progress of online media and internet in India.

Several months, options, arguments, studies and designers later, the all new IAB is finally on air. It’s taken us a lot of time and effort on what looks like a very simple job. We conducted several studies with our traffic statistics to understand where our readers come from and what their screen and browser settings are. We also studied the heat map showing where our readers clicked and accordingly setup [ Read More ]

Yes, we remember that there’s something called Indian Autos Blog and everybody flocks it to learn the latest developments on their favorite cars, and we as a group, are responsible in keeping it updated all the time.
If we take a small vacation, the Indian auto industry erupts with news and announcements. Other blogs covering this sector have a shedload of spyshots and renderings to show. We weren’t there to report on it or report them first.
But rather than feeling sorry or bad for what we’ve missed, today we’ll get down to business and do what we do best – Keeping you posted on your favorite cars!
You’ll get to see new renderings, our take on the Etios, spyshots, quotes and more.
And don’t forget to check out the above video that teases SRK’s next creation.
Today evening, IAB has in store, some exciting content like
1) Updated rendering of the new Tata Safari (which we predicted wasn’t an entirely new one, and got it right)
2) Mahindra Xylo 5 seater updated rendering
3) More information on the pickup truck we spotted yesterday
4) Interesting motorcycle news
5) Weird and wacky rides
