Spied Again- 2010 Fiat Grande Punto

Spied- 2010 Audi Q7

A member of Fourtitude forums, who knows his Audis, has snapped the 2010 Audi Q7 as it was making its way through the roads of Atlanta in the U.S. The changes are hard to spot.

Electric vehicles are the future of the automobile industry. They use lesser components than say a diesel or a petrol engine combined to a gearbox, making them easier and cheaper to manufacture.

F1 2009- Q&A with Dr.Vijay Mallya of Force India

Vijay Mallya’s Force India did not have the brightest of starts in Formula 1. I could even term it dreadful, since they failed to score any points in their maiden season.
