The Green-thinking Honda Civic Hybrid in India
If there has to be a future, it has to be green. Honda seems to have taken this future-fad quite seriously and is here to make its concern for the environment felt with Honda Civic Hybrid.

Volkswagen New Beetle 2008
Jaded is so overrated. Dare to be happy.
So true! The retro-futuristic New Beetle is here to drive you away from the conventional. This “happy car” from Volkswagen beckons nostalgia – the exteriors, the non-metallic colors and the iconic smiling front.

Maruti Swift Sedan (Dzire)
Maruti has been keeping the all new three-box based on the hatchback Swift well under wraps. So much so, that there was no mention or glimpse of it in the Auto Expo. As this gimmick fired our curiosity, we set our hounds free to sniff out a Dzire somewhere and lead us to it. And [...]
Volkswagen Tiguan
The new Tiguan. Wild, if you want.
That’s how the new Tiguan’s commercial goes. Heidi Klum driving the Sport & Style Tiguan and Seal driving Track & Field Tiguan. Those are not the only variants that are offered by Volkswagen though. A third variant called Trend & Fun is on the platter too.
Soft-roader CRV’s alternative and [...]
Ford Fiesta
The new global Fiesta
Brand Ford’s first global product is ready to go to the assembly line. And guess what has it been named? Ford Fiesta. Yes. But it will be different from the Fiesta we Indians are used to. The new Ford will be launched in Europe somewhere around fall 2008 in 3 and 5 [...]
Honda Accord 2008
Old Accord is plain Jane compared to this new model and from all the shots I have seen of the new Honda Accord, the side rear profile left me mesmerized. Powerful and dominated by mature lines, this will be the third generation Honda in India since the manufacturer’s introduction here in 2001 and oh-its-so-welcome!
Accord is [...]
