Disgust- Chinese Roewe 250 testing mechanicals using a Grande Punto

Disgust- Chinese Roewe 250 testing mechanicals using a Grande Punto

In India- You see the Fiat Grande Punto testing on the highways of Maharashtra

In China- You see the Fiat Grande Punto testing out some other car’s components without authorization and for some reason, with a lot of camouflage.

Are there any rules at all enforced on Chinese car companies? They have their own Smart, Matiz, A-Star, Yaris, Swift and Nano. If that wasn’t enough to sail your boat, here’s some new menace- A Chinese crap car using another manufacturer’s body shell for its testing.

Further, the Roewe 250 has done a poor job at hiding the fact that it’s wearing the Grande Punto’s clothes. Why camouflage it wasting money, time and tape?

Caught- India-Specific Fiat Grande Punto facelift

The Grande Punto has been awaited by us Indians, ever since 2005. The car was so successful, that one million of Grande Puntos have already left production plants.

As this is a Fiat, and this is India, it does not matter whether one million have been made or not even one has been made. It needs to come and come with a competitive sticker price (read as cheap)

GM India reveals aggressive expansion plans starting with Mini

GM India reveals aggressive expansion plans starting with Mini

The success of its two hatchbacks – the Aveo U-VA and the Spark and new releases from other automakers – has spurred GM India to think of bringing the Chevrolet Mini sooner than ever!

GM is now working out all odds to bring in the ‘Mini’ and heat up the premium hatchback space. The Chevrolet Mini which is based on the Beat concept (showcased two years back in New York Auto Show) will come with frugal Petrol and Diesel engine options; expected to be positioned above the Chevrolet U-VA and priced around that range.

The Chevy Mini as it appears (in pictures), would be a large hatchback- possibly the largest hatchback India has seen (we’ll leave out the SRV for now)! But this is just a speculation (a visual perception), as no dimensions have been revealed yet.
