The BMW 330i is powerful, but slightly cramped
IAB drove the BMW 330i. We saw the word “Joy” all over the BMW dealership and were hoping the car lives up to it. We did not have this car for long and the short time would not do justice to a full review. We only wish to share our thoughts on the drive here.
At first, we spoke to the people at BMW and if there is a common word that comes out of everyone at BMW it’s “Joy”. I do not know why they keep emphasizing on it, but did get bored with it.
The word really did not appeal to me and seeing it at every corner of the dealership forced me to do something else. Yes, finally the right thing to do…look at the cars and you would not want to take your eyes away.
So, we neatly buckled up in our car 330i and set out. I had two advisors from BMW who must have thought that I’ve never driven a car before. They kept saying, “Sir, you are two close to the wall”, “Sir, the brakes”, “Sir, please ensure you do not put your left leg on the brakes”. Well, I let them do their job and said “Agreed” to every one of their comments.
The Chevrolet Camaro SS with black stripes turned eyeballs at Auto Expo
Timothy E Lee, president, international operations of General Motors revealed GM’s plan of selling internationally popular models to India.
Lee said cars like the Camaro and Corvette will be brought to India and sold via special boutiques in small numbers as the duties levied on these CBUs are very high.
Timothy E Lee, president, international operations of General Motors -
The import duty required to sell the other kinds of Chevy vehicles like Corvette or Camaro is quite extensive to do it for the buying public. We will have a boutique offering for those kinds of brands but those will never be the volume products for India. Every one of those products will create its own space in India, but it will be very small in numbers.
GM displayed the Camaro (whose production crossed 100,000 just days ago) in Bumblee’s clothes at the Auto Expo this year and is happy with the response it received. We hope GM will bring these iconic models to India in the next one year.
SRK’s version of the compact car hints at heavy dependence on existing models
Scheduled for a 2012 release, Fiat’s new small car will be placed under the Palio in the company’s Indian portfolio. It could be the company’s entry-level car in other markets.
While we don’t know about the platform and if Tata will utilize the mechanicals for their cars, we do know that the car will be compact and styled in Italy. Fiat India CEO Mr.Rajeev Kapoor told IAB during the Auto Expo that the designs of this small car were yet to be finalized. He did not divulge any information on the model letting us speculate as much as we could!
Another interesting development is the introduction of the 2-cylinder engine by Fiat at the on-going Geneva Motor Show. The 900cc 8V Twin-Air engine will also be offered in the naturally aspirated form. Producing 64bhp, it looks like an apt motor for the new small car.
When you let aggression take control, you’ll go the wrong way. The yet to be released Mahindra Maxximo TV advertisement proves just that.
I understand Tata Ace has dominated the mini truck segment for the past few years but why vent out that frustration by making an Ad that shows a robot digesting a water can, running past a Ace and then transforming into a Maxximo?
Mahindra should film something depicting the Maxximo’s features and capabilities.
