  • [xBhp Universal Thread]: The HYDERABAD INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW 2009

    This is the first time any auto show of this kind is being in the city of biriyani...

    Well a brief description of the event is as follows...

    Out side the complex was the diplay of the indian bikes such as the p220,stunner and the r-15..

    Greeting the public just after the security check was the YAMAHA MT01,the PORSHE CAYMAN S,the HAYABUSA 2009 and some vintage cars among which was a very small and (obviously) old ROLLS ROYCE..

    and as we enter the hanger,the very common MARUTI is being exhibited...
    (guess why the choose that !!!)

    and then there were several companies which include

    MARUTI
    HUNDAI
    HONDA
    FORD
    VOVLO
    BMW
    AUDI
    MERC
    BAJAJ
    YAMAHA
    HONDA 2 WHEELERS
    TOYOTA
    CHEVROLET
    etc

    there were not many cars,the merc had only 3,where as there r more than 6 models for sale in the showrooms near u,and this was the case with all the international brands...

    whereas the indian brenda had all their cars showcased..

    the show stoppers..
    the AMG tuned MERCEDES CL 63,wat a sight it was..
    the MERCEDES SLK 200,
    AUDI TT QUATTRO,
    BMW 650i,
    the massive BMW 730ld,
    the HONDA ACCORD V6,
    the race equipped YAMAHA R-15 and the FZ-16,
    the YAMAHA MT-01 and the HAYABUSA,
    PORSHE CAYMAN S


    enclosed r few of the snaps that i clicked...


    ImageShack Gallery




















































































































    there were few(maybe many) dissapointments..
    there were not many international brands apart the one's we see on the roads daily...like the JAGUAR,LAND ROVER,FERRARI,R8,RR PHONTOM,BENTLY

    there was only one PORSHE shown..

    HONDA did not display it's cbu imports the FIRE BLADE and the CBR1000
    as well as the R1,the INTRUDER which are available in india...

    edit:how could i forget this...
    the bajaj was like a cr*@p show...
    all the bikes were blue(that was fine),and along with them were gals(aunty's maybe) in the same bright sarees dominating the bikes,so much that i couldn't take a pic as i did not want them in the pic..
    whereas in the other stalls there were gals looking fine( not so gorgeous though ) ) weraing skirts and stuff... and yamaha had 4 guys who couldn't speak proper english... it took me 15 min to ask them if the racekit parts would be available seperately...


    on a scale of 100,and this being an "INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW" i
    would rate it 60...
    but atleast for a start it was nice even though no conceprts were shown(like the honda concept cbf bikes in the delhi expo),looking foreward for more stuff to come in the future to the city....

        Looks like a pretty decent auto show I must say! Glad to see such auto shows in other parts of the country as well.
        The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                      @Dogg:- Really nice pics.I couldnt get that good pics as I went yesterday (the last day of the Auto show) and it was really crowded.And which camera did u use??

                      @Haxor:- got some pics of Nano,will post them after sometime.And also realised yesterday that booking a Nano was not that bad idea!!

                      At the end of the day I would say that it was a nice show and it did attract many crowds.
                      Now i am waiting another such Autoshows to happen here in Hyderabad.
