Indian Cars and Bikes scene

I laughed because others took the credit for designing the scorpio, so that the real guy who made it has to beg for recognition anonymously.

The height of stupidity

 

[CricketCartoons]

This guy is an idiot.
He doesn't realize the difference between design and engineering.

Arey I am supporting you. The lone engineer working on the project, and all credit was robbed from you. So that now you have to beg for recognition on a forum where no one knows you.

Man your preferences are all over the price segment

Carefully check the reviews of KUV on team bhp site, if you are getting it for your wife.
Buying diesel doesn't make any financial sense and Mahindra is going petrol for the first time with KUV.
So a word of caution!

TATA brand is a downer .. but features aplenty in those cars for the price.

Its a surprising good looking SUV for a company which no one knows about . They are known for making Ambulances and mini buses and brand of jeep popular in villages.

^ To be fair it was an ambitious project by Force motors, but they dont have the engineering backbone in R&D to have pulled it off properly and kind off bungled it.

Don't understand the obsession with compact SUVs, specially for guys. They look okay for women driving them but kind of look gay for men. Either get a good Sedan or a proper 4X4.

Mostly its for city guys who belong to middle class, If you cannot afford a full size SUV but want to drive one then compact SUV provides you with an excellent option. Its more spacious for a small family and has engine power more then you would normally have.

People who can afford full size SUV still get their desired vehicle. Also compact SUVs are better in city traffic and small parking spaces. Compact SUV market is growing not at the cost of full SUV but small cars.

Compact SUVs are getting popular for 2 reasons:

1. The stringent emission norms, make Bigger SUVs less viable
2. Special case for India: the 4m rule, cars bigger than 4m in length get taxed more.

Actually Indica is a killer car . Unfortunately it became a Taxi fav .

Aspire I did consider , infact Baleno is another new launch I like . Quite a few to choose from

Dooooon't go for Baleno, it looks good, but they have cut cost like crazy.
Try driving it at 120 on a highway, it feels like wind will blow it away. Its an unsafe car.

Royal Enfield Bullet is probably most loved and looked upon to motorcycle in India. Owning one is a matter of pride, and it comes with loads of history too. Longest continuously produced bike in India and also called as Harley of India. Widely used by Police and Military along side bike collectors and rich people.

Its a powerful bike even for the time it was first produced, with 250, 350 and 500 cc options available it is a true desi pride.

Nothing(Barring Harley) beats the above mentioned ROyal Enfield Bullet. Would love to have one...I didnt like latest models of RE though..

 

[Lords]

^^ It took a while for Enfield to adopt to evolving market. At one point they were churning out same old model in dwindling numbers every year and it looked like they are not relevent any more and would close down.

But then they decided to no die silently and started investing in modern technology and better models, and now they are back in the game
