New York Auto Show is one of the most awaited motoring events in the world.
Will these amazing models ever come to India?
From fuel efficient cars to million dollar super cars, the New York Auto Show has something for everyone.
The New York Auto Show 2010 which opened at the Jacob Javits Center on April 2 has some of the hottest cars and trucks ever seen under one roof.
The last Auto Expo in January 2008 in New Delhi drew 1.8 million visitors. The 2010 edition scheduled at Pragati Maidan here, from January 5-11, is expected to draw close to 2 million visitors, which would make it the largest auto show in the world.
The mini car is likely to be based on the auto maker's Beat concept, showcased at the New York Auto Show two years ago. It would offer the option of diesel or petrol engines and will be the third small car in GM's offering in the country after Spark and Aveo U-VA. India would be the company's export hub for the mini car, said Karl Slym, president and managing director, General Motors India.
The locally produced top-end model S 500 will be priced at Rs 1.39 crore or Rs 13.9 million (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be rolled out from the manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune, Mercedes-Benz India said in a statement, adding that this strategic move will help to cater to the increasing demand.
