Mahindra Xylo limousine decorated with roses

Definitely won’t give you the time of life. With or without roses

If you want to arrive or leave your wedding in style, then you would do it along with a good looking bride flashy ride that oozes attitude and makes the statement. Like say an Aston Martin or a Lamborghini Gallardo or Bentley Continental.

Whether it is a stretched Toyota Innova, Renault Logan or a Ford Endeavour you can’t recreate such an effect. Would the fat man living next door win the Olympics if you put track suits on him? It’s that simple.

If you can’t lease an exotic, then better walk, take the bus or rent a cab or drive your own car. A stretched Mahindra Xylo shouldn’t be an option. Even if the registration plate has 007.

Hyundai dealer takes i10 out for banger racing

Banger racing is a popular form of racing in the United Kingdom. It is like any other form of racing you’re used to. The concept is the winner is one who takes the checkered flag, except for one difference – You try and deliberately knock off your opponents on your way to the finish line. Injuries and deaths have been reported in this type of racing in the past. Not surprising.

While Banger racing is conducted using scrap cars and bunch of dudes who have nothing much to do in life, it is not often you see a new Hyundai i10 taking part in such an event.

In the latest edition of Car Dealer magazine, you will.

It is not clear if the bloke who took a new Hyundai i10 to the banger racing circuit was a dealer, but what’s he’s done to it is a sight not for the faint hearted. The bumpers have come off, the headlights disappeared. It is not clear if some of the components were removed prior to the race but nevertheless that car looks like it was run over by a tank.

Now a Dacia/Renault Logan limousine

Dacia-Limo-Logan-5It can’t get better than this – a low cost limousine. Tata Indigo XL’s best companion

While the Mahindra and Renault teams are busy working on a shortened and smaller Logan to qualify for incentives, people on the other side of the pond have something else in mind.

Dacia/Renault doesn’t have a Logan limousine in their drawing board. This is precisely why a group of Romanians have teamed up and set about the job. This project at the moment is work in progress. We’d have to wait for a few weeks to see the final outcome.

Why would someone need a Logan limousine? Is this the same man who owns a Toyota Innova limousine? Will he fit a crystal ball inside it? Who is he trying to impress?

Suzuki brings A-Star with fish scales and fins to Berlin

Suzuki-Alto-Fish-BerlinSuzuki Alto with fish scales and fin will be shown at the Berlin Show this month

At the Berlin International Green Week this year, Suzuki will show a one-off concept based on the Indian-made Suzuki A-Star (referred as Alto in Europe). Covered in vinyl wrap spread with paintings of fish scales, the Alto will be the weirdest exhibit at the world’s largest fair for food, agriculture and horticulture. The event kicks off in Jan 15th and till the 24th, it’ll make you wonder why Suzuki didn’t choose a tree, food grains or grass to spread over the car.

DC’s Toyota Innova pips RR Phantom, Business Class of Jet Liner!

toyota-innov8The Innov8 wins, credit to “Vanity Roof Mirror” and “Accent Lighting”

The terms Toyota Innova, Rolls Royce Phantom and 1st class jet liner can come together to form a sentence only if our local international designer DC wants them to.

DC’s Toyota Innov8 using a Toyota Innova as donor car, has attracted wide interest thanks to much needed support and publicity from Khattar’s Carnation Auto where it is sold. The pimped out version of the Innova serves you with a little more coziness than a Rolls Royce Phantom, a seat on the first class deck of an international airline combined together. You get to travel either to another country for business or the next street for a smoke (every time) in your uber-luxurious mobile for a one-time investment of about 8 lakh rupees (excluding donor car).

Hey they missed out the unbeatable “manual roll down window” feature from the list. Not fair.

DIY – A budget Suzuki Hayabusa for the Indian roads

Suzuki_Hayabusa_Bajaj_Pulsar-mainCannot understand who would have such a complex fantasy

Here are a few images of a Bajaj Pulsar being modified into a Suzuki Hayabusa and a Honda super bike.

Although it seems to be a nice work of modification (just by the looks of the bikes) but one can’t imagine from where they can source the real power and the true sound of that of the original sports bike.

No matter how much they try, the engine of a Pulsar and an exhaust can will never provide the real grunt that define a performance motorcycle. I always feel that its just a fake way of satisfying ourselves of owning a sports bike and to make it look all cool to someone who is new to such bikes.

These mods do not cost less and you might have to shell out around 30-50k or even more depending upon the type of modification, quality of materials and the workmanship you are going for.

Image of the Day – Honda Civic AMG

Honda_Civic_AMG

If you wanted to buy a Honda Civic, you’d go to a dealer and book one. If you wanted to buy a Mercedes Benz AMG model, you should go to a Mercedes Benz showroom in your city which thankfully these days, imports many vehicles in the AMG range for you and provides full service backup.

But what if you wanted a car that looked like an AMG and went like a Civic?

Tricky situation then.

One such person in Chennai has apparently found the answer.

Dr.Albur, AMG body kits and accessories could be offered to cars that don’t belong to the Mercedes range in India. We feel there is a lot of scope for such a venture in our country.

A fool with a tool is still a fool; Aveo bank robbers lock car with key inside

The old adage is very fitting in this situation – A fool with a tool is still a fool.

The Chevrolet Aveo hatchback (U-VA in India) is an intelligent car. OK, you don’t get a lot of power or wheelspin. You get a basic hatchback with a lot of space and rear legroom. In short, this car fits the bill perfectly if you and your pals are seeking a getaway vehicle after committing a bank robbery.

Our good friend John over at the car connection lays the rest out in a perfect manner -

But if you’re going to use it (Aveo) for a getaway, hang onto your car keys after you rob that bank.

Neglecting that handy hint landed a gang of four robbers in the clink in the town of Bear, Delaware, yesterday, after one of them locked the keys to his Chevrolet Aveo in the bank they had just robbed.

Three men wearing wigs, along with one woman, entered the Artisans Bank yesterday morning just after 9 am. They fired a shot into the ceiling, tied up two employees with duct tape, and herded six others into a bathroom.

After forcing an employee to get money from the vault and teller drawers, they fled–leaving the car keys inside. Once they realized they couldn’t get back inside, the female getaway driver pulled up in a Ford Escort and sped them away.

The police soon after tracked down the Ford Escort and arrested the convicts. Now they all are going to have a certain reunion sparked by a show stealing act. In jail.

Moral one of the story – Don’t rob a bank

Moral two of the story – Don’t use an Aveo Don’t forget the keys in the car

Moral three of the story – An old Ford Escort is much slower than the modern day state-of-the-art police vehicle

Look where the Suzuki Kizashi concept cars ended up!

where_are_the_suzuki_suzuki_kizashi_concept_cars

The question mark over the the Suzuki Kizashi’s local launch date is getting larger, but a close relative is preparing to get smaller and move further away from the real world.

The images above show where the three Kizashi concept cars have ended up – at the crushers in Japan!

If you remember the Kizashi 1 (there were 3 concepts in all), the red color car sitting on top of the white one, was displayed at the Suzuki stand in the Delhi Auto Expo last year.

This image answers a frequent question from car lovers – where do concept cars end up?

The three Kizashi concepts were static. Other than the wheels, they did not have moving parts and as you can see some of the parts have been removed (stolen?) before it reached this location.

The Kizashi concepts will live in our memories and the internet forever.

In our dreams – Fiat Linea convertible

fiat-linea-convertible-02fiat-linea-convertible-01

Fiat India’s turn around car is going a little overboard. No, not in the real world but in our wildest dreams. A sure fire recipe for a walloping failure, a Fiat Linea convertible is foolish enough to only roll in the roads laid inside our brains.

But why pack it inside a fantasy bubble? Interpretation using digital graphics could prove you’re not the only one in the planet who needs a ride on this budget Italian convertible.

Hope lies with the customization houses in Arabia and Russia whose previous creations include gold plated Porsches, Hummer limousines and all kinds of automotive pornography experimentation.

Nausea inducing – Toyota Innova limousine

Toyota_Innova_limousine- 3

If you want to travel in a more comfortable vehicle with extra leg room and seats, might as well buy a mini van or a bus.

Stretched an extra five feet along its wheelbase, this Toyota Innova is easily the worst innovation of 2009. We would like to know what Toyota thinks of this idea.

And check out the make shift grille and Benz-like planted logo on the hood.

Why would anyone want to travel in a stretched Toyota Innova? Who would have such a fantasy?

OMG! Chevrolet Aveo & UV-A in Levi’s

OMG! Chevrolet Aveo & UV-A in Levi’s

Car abuse can’t get any worse and Chevys have been the targets of late. Quite predictably, it has happened in China, a place where anything and everything from Tata Nano to Rolls-Royce Phantom has a cloned twin.

Since all the cars sold in the world have been duplicated in China, the Chinese have come up with a brilliant plan to overcome the shortage of models to copy from – clone from a clothing line!

As part of an initiative named ‘East meets West’, Levis Strauss met Chevrolet (couldn’t figure out which of these represents the East), and the result of that is shown in these pictures.
