Mahindra has just emailed us a video teaser of it’s up coming XYLO MPV. It does not reveal the vehicle nor does it reveal anything related to it. It strongly suggests that the time has come for sedans to rest in peace. We can’t confirm that before we see the vehicle, which is going to be launched on the 13th of this month.

Tuner Gembella is an expert with Porsche vehicles which is evident once you see the level of tuning it offers on the Porsche Cayenne GTS, which was previously pampered by Evolution Motorsports on IAB.

One can choose either the GTS or the GTR trim, where engineers clear up the interiors and modify the layout so that power is fed only to the rear wheels. The end result is a considerable loss of weight of 250 kg.

The Porsche Panamera will be Porsche’s first 4 door sedan, but what’s more exciting is the fact that markets such as India and China will be given priority over Europe and America which was made clear after Porsche shifted the car’s launch from Geneva to Shanghai.

The 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class as you must know by now, is Mercedes Benz’s next and most talked about car. It will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this year and the original plan was to display the car to the public for the first time in Geneva lacking any camouflage.

Days after an image that allegedly is the bumper of the 2010-11 BMW 5 Series propped up on BMW Blog, a talented Photoshop artist has constructed an entire BMW around it.

The lines on the next BMW 5 Series will be a lot fainter with the crease on the bonnet scraping the more rounded headlights. Lots of inputs will be taken from the new BMW 7 Series and the BMW CS concept. The front end design will be influenced by the European Pedestrian Safety standards. The brake lights will be ironed out and will appear more like the BMW 3 Series’.

Auto blogs in the blogsphere yesterday flashed news of Suzuki killing off the Kizashi project due to the poor economic conditions and that Osuma Suzuki had already hinted it’s ending last year- We too got you the story but we warned you it could all be horse shit bollocks as an official confirmation had not been made by the company then.

The company has made an official announcment, not to confirm that the project is dead, but to say it’s very much alive and kicking!

The facelifted Skoda Octavia (Skoda Laura to us Indians) was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last year.

The front end receives a sharp dynamic look that reminds us of the soon to be launched Superb in India. Inside, Skoda has redesigned the steering wheel, the dashboard (white-backlit), all the controls and the decorative strips on the doors and the central console. Furthermore, new upholstery fabrics are available across all equipment levels.

The Fiat Palio has been around for, believe it or not, 12 years and facelifts are bound to happen eventually. Brazil will witness the launch of this facelifted Fiat Palio in a few weeks time.

The changes are minor with a revised grille and bumper, which now looks more like an Audi’s bumper. The headlamps are also different. Nothing is known about the interiors, but we think it should be totally revamped. Reports suggests that India will also embrace a facelifted Palio in a few months, and maybe this car is what they mean by that?

The Suzuki Kizashi, which will be Suzuki’s first car in the D-Segment will remain locked up in Suzuki’s garage till the end of the decade, Reuters reports.

Suzuki CEO Osamu Suzuki, it seems had hinted this way back last year in an interview sighting unfavorable economic conditions. He claims that there is no point in producing a car that will sell under a segment that’s doing horribly worldwide. Suzuki (under the name Maruti Suzuki) has been struggling even in India, where it commands more than 50% of the market share.

This is what all of us here were waiting for after our brush with electric scooters last year- Lithium Ion technology. Subsequently came news, of Nissan’s affordable electric car which would also make use of Lithium Ion units.
