Maybe that auto shows are no more 'in'?
Case in evidence; Montreal Auto Show 2023. I usually go there every 2-3 years, last one that happened was in 2020. In the past that a few minor brands were not represented. but this year, what a decline! No Ford/Lincoln, No Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep/Alfa/Maserati, no Mazda, no Honda/Acura, no Infiniti, no VW/Audi, Mitsubishi, no Volvo/Polestar, no BMW, no Porsche, no Mercedes, no Bentley/RR (last time there were like 10), no Aston Martin, no Jags, no Genesis.... manufacturers are no more interested? One reason might be that they don't have stock, yet....
On a more positive note, some exhibitions were A1. It is rare to see a Ferrari Enzo, together with F40 and F50, also two Bugatti Chirons and other multi-$M Ferrari. I sat in a Hummer (didn't know they had targa roofs available), CT4/5-V BW. The Z06 is supposed to be there but I missed it. The 2024 Lotus Emira looks great and relatively affordable.
