	<![CDATA[Audi knows. How to make it all look good, that is. The Audi Sportback concept may have the X6&#39;s bootlines, but if you click and go into the photo gallery, you will see a rather fetching rendition of the same theme. What the Sportback concept is, of course, is the preview of the A7 sedan that should arrive in showrooms sometime next year. It is, of course, a four-door coupe, so it will take the fight to the likes of the Quattroporte (established), the Panamera (fingers crossed) and their ilk.... ]]>

In India there is the situation where the same Fiat 1.3-litre diesel engine is used by Maruti Suzuki, Tata and Fiat itself in competing cars. In Europe Fiat has associations with General Motors (a hangover from the time when GM had a stake in Fiat) and Peugeot-Citroen and is talking about joining forces with BMW. But its ... ]]>

An Australian website posted the suggestion made by a Porsche engineer that the 7min 29sec production car record Nissan claimed for the GT-R must have been using race tyres. Porsche had not been able to get close to that time with a US-spec GT-R it purchased. The allegation of &lsquo;cheating&rsquo; (the record is an unofficial one, hotly contested by sports car makers) was a losing face issue for the Japanese,... ]]>

He clarified that the small car for India can no longer be created that easily. In the last few years, the small car market in India has evolved significantly and turned quite sophisticated and competitive. That has forced Toyota to develop an emerging market car platform from which the Indian small car will be derived. Toyota hope... ]]>

The mid-engined super car can scorch tarmac with a 4.2 V8-FSI powerplant putting out 424PS at 7,800rpm and 430Nm of torque between 4,500 and 6,000rpm. It does 0-100kmph in 4.6 seconds and can reach a top speed of 301kmph. Built on an all-aluminium space frame body, the R8 is a show stopper indeed.                        ... ]]>

Part of its strategy is to use Renault platforms and power trains to renew the Lada range (the basis of which is still a 1960s Fiat 124). It has already sold licenses to AvtoVAZ for the use of the Logan platform and two Renault engines. Despite the age of its car ... ]]>

	<![CDATA[Suzuki&rsquo;s GSX-R1000 came to its two-year update cycle in 2008, resulting in the inevitably lighter, faster 2009 version that we all saw at October&rsquo;s Cologne show. So what did the manufacturer unveil for us in Milan? A new Bandit 650 range! Now that&rsquo;s all very worthy, but hardly exciting, or groundbreaking&hellip;Still, the Bandit has been plodding along for well over a decade now and it makes a great workhorse. Both 650 and 650SA models have received updates to make them look an... ]]>

	<![CDATA[Milan saw KTM unveil a racier version of its 1190 RC8 superbike &ndash; and this one&rsquo;s set to take on Ducati&rsquo;s 1198 in 2009 WSB. It looks identical to the previous model but with a capacity slightly increased to 1195 &ndash; this should give it that little extra power that owners complained was lacking in the standard model. The 1195 RC8 R also gets forged light alloy wheels and higher quality suspension. The bike will be available in Spring 2009. Also new for 2009 is the KTM 990 Sup... ]]>

Not exactly the peak of excitement either. Much like the Bandit 650, the XJ6 is a practical and worthy naked middleweight that shares most of its components with the half faired XJ6 Diversion launched in October, including the novice friendly chassis and FZ6 Fazer derived 600cc liquid-cooled inline four engine. The main diff... ]]>

The Bavarian manufacturer showed off the F800R, a naked addition to the successful parallel twin range. The F 800 R is a naked BMW with weird but likeable styling and look, normal indicator switches.The engine remains the same 88PS, 85.5Nm 798cc four-valve DOHC twin as in the S. But, the R has shorter gearing in the top three gears, chain drive and a different exhaust, aimed... ]]>

Christened the Suzuki GS150R, the bike with its conventional look is sure to prove a letdown for those expecting a more radical offering from the Gixxer maker. Borrowing cues like the tail lamp cluster, clocks and front headlamp reflector from Suzuki&rsquo;s flagship superbike, the GS150R is positioned slightly above the average 150cc bike and will bridge the gap created in the segment by the Yamaha... ]]>

Riding on BFGoodrich All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tyres, the Raptor can handle both off-road and road conditions with elan. Its rock solid looks are stunning.

Honda will partly bear the cost of the Civic Hybrids sold until December so that it becomes more affordable to a larger number of people. Truly green gesture!                        ... ]]>

	<![CDATA[So what if it is the cheapest production car in the world? Ratan Tata wants to ensure that the Nano is also one of the safest and he has asked Autoliv FB to develop a $10 airbag for the People&rsquo;s Car. Developing these airbags will be a challenge for Autoliv as airbags cost about $150 for compact cars like the Zen Estilo. Nano is likely to have two front airbags in its top end versions. &nbsp;                        ... ]]>

In a surprise move, the government has levied an additional duty of Rs 15,000 for cars sporting engines with 1.5-litre capacity and Rs 20,000 for cars with 2.0-litre engines and above. Industry experts say that this duty is being imposed to dampen the demand for vehicles with high engine capacities as they consume more fuel. Given the fuel price crisis, it might not be a bad idea. But car makers are surely not happy. For ... ]]>

Its current 1.3-litre engine wouldn&rsquo;t come under the 12 per cent excise slab but Masahiro Takedagawa, president &amp; CEO Honda Siel Cars India ensured that the company sails through this hurdle.

Take Skoda for example, who just shifted into a different gear in India since the last few months and that has a lot to do with parent Volkswagen setting up base here. The Czech company has tried hard to cultivate an elitist image for itself in the last few years, but now it is showing signs of wanting to get its hands dirty with its latest move of pricing the 1.2 Fabia petrol within striking distance of the Swift. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not ... ]]>

Going by first impressions, this five-seater looks more like an A6 with a jacked-up ride height rather than a full-bore SUV. Which isn&rsquo;t a surprise since the crossover is based on the same MLP modular chassis that underpins the A4 and A5. The Q5 sports... ]]>
