We don’t know whether GM India will call this the Spark, new Spark or the Beat, but we are damn sure the new Chevy Spark be most stylish hatchback in India.

Indian Autos Blog reader Prakash Mavinkurve spotted the partly camouflaged car in his city. This is a very recent car from Chevrolet, fresh design, interiors and technology. In India it is expected to debut in the month of December. GM calls it a “mini car.”

The new Chevrolet Spark will also be rebadged as a Daewoo in Korea. The new Spark, till the time its new powertrain facility is ready in India, which is late next year, will come only with a petrol engine.

The coveted three-pointed-star is the best indicator of one’s prosperity. If the S-Class is Emperor and the E-Class is King, the C Class can only be and always will be the Crown Prince.

In this review, we find if the new Prince has what it takes to carry forth its position, to be a part of the royal lineage. We also see if the new Merc has the goods to take the opposition back to the drawing board.

Maruti Suzuki has launched the new 2.4L Grand Vitara more powerful sporting a 2.4L, 163.5 Bhp engine as against the current 2.0L, 120 bhp one.

A 2.4 litre VVT (Variable Valve Timing) engine delivering 163.5bhp @ 6000rpm and 225NM @ 4000rpm, claims Maruti, will deliver satisfactory power and efficiency.

The 2.4-liter Grand Vitara receives a few cosmetic upgrades with interior changes. Only time will tell whether Grand Vitara can hold a candle in front of the segment leader Honda CRV or for that matter the Chevy Captiva.

The Czech car manufacturer Volkswagen is all set to make HUGE profits by the upcoming model Up! which was displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show some time back.

The reason behind saying HUGE profits is, the car will be built using Indian resources for 900 Euros at a low cost Indian assembly plant and the company has plans to sell the Up! for 9,000 Euros in the international markets.

Sounds cruel.

Our friend Paul Maric over at Car Advice Australia, sent us a message this morning. What they have caught on camera will raise a few Indian eyebrows too.

It’s the Ford small car we’ve been tracking all year long.

The spyshots were picked up in Australia, the car will be introduced as a Mazda for domestic consumption. The long wheelbase, C-Pillar angle and rear quarter glass shape puts it closer in design to the Ford Fusion.

Ford’s new small car isn’t exactly small.

The new Fiat Palio and the Fiat Uno will coexist with the existing Fiats, reports Noticiasautomotivas. Remember that the Uno was launched back in 1984 and when the new Palio comes in the next few years, the Uno would have completed 30 years of its life with very little changes to its looks.

In India, Fiat’s isn’t letting go of the Palio as its entry level model. Next year the Palio will receive a facelift to keep abreast with competitors going into the next decade. Structural modifications and a modified steering wheel to make way for the compulsory airbag is planned in 2014.

Three lightly camouflaged Suzuki Kizashis were spotted outside a Kansas hotel by a Carscoop reader. This time around, the cars interiors can be viewed in greater detail.

The Speedo and Tachometer are set deep, much like Alfa Romeo instrument panels. The knobs and buttons are quite well organised, but confined to the center stack.
