Surprises on the Indian Shores!

not ages before......the indian market for cars had nothing but , cynically putting it, characterless tin boxes. However now, not one segment passes by without serious choices that allure the true petrolhead to put a big hole in his pocket and grab a chance!.......The list of options,as they are evident from a buyer's guide in front of me, bowl me over totally. ....Little wonders like the K series engines from the newgen Marutis......the return of the 1.6 100bhps in hot hatches in the form of the Polo and Fabia variants, the diesel revolutions tht put out 90 horses out of the delicious looking Fiat Punto....6 speed trannys in a humble i20.......the poor man's Beemer, the Fiesta 1.6S......that much needed turbo in the Linea.....and the Cruze's linear power throws......and the mere abundance of fun cars as one goes up the price brackets......330i,a4 3.2,Evo 10,Boxster, 370Z.......and I would resist talking beyond that.......as money becomes no bar....one can even buy a certain car now officially in India that shares its name with a certain Mr.Ettore......All i can say is...from those tin-boxes to what we have now, the Indian market has surely emerged, in the right fashion too.....and the cult is here to stay, I hope......fingers crossed!
