I will be blunt. All you fucking herbs dick riding Japan and think to yourselves that you've done a humanitarian act by donating to the RedCross, kudos to you for being an unaware naive asshole. Have you ever recalled about the money that WAS GIVEN TO THE REDCROSS FOR THE 9/11 victims? Guess what half of it disappeared and peole that needed that money couldn't find the money. What about the aid for Hurricane Katrina or Haiti? Guess what, a portion or half of the donations are no where to be found. So all you assholes that think your doing something to help Japan think again ironic hipster. If you really wanna help JAPAN OR CARE, go there and fucking help them. Putting stickers about helping Japan or donating $2 ain't gonna do shit when the air and water you need to live is contaminated. Don't sit around or pretend to be helpful when your making THE REDCROSS RICHER.

G-Power is renowned for converting normal BMW cars into beasts that are capable of claiming to be the fastest Beemers in the world. In 2008 G-Power was responsible for crating the M% Hurricane RS that managed to do a top speed of 367.4 km/h and in 2010 they have gone a step further by announcing the M6-Hurricane RR that features a bi-supercharger V10 unit capable of producing 811 PS and a whopping 800 Nm of torque. It took some serious engineering skill to G-Power to tune the car to develop this mind boggling power.
The engine components were replaced with high-performance ones to handle the extra power being produced by the twin superchargers. The electronics were also remapped in order to squeeze as much as juice as possible from the 10 cylinders. Aerodynamics of the car were tweaked in order to produce enough downforce at high speeds to keep the M6 from taking off. the front carbon fibre skirt and rear spoiler were added to aid aerodynamics.
All this has resulted in improved performance.The M6 Hurricane RR can sprint to 100 km/h in just under 4.5 seconds and maintains the superb pace to reach 200 km/ hr in just 9.5 seconds and touches 300 km/h in under 25 seconds . Pretty impressive for a car that weighs about two tonnes. And to make this speed monster an exclusive package G-Power has limited the number of cars to be buit to just five units for the entire world. The price tag on this exclusive M6 is about Rs.1.5 Crore, excluding taxes and duty, reserving it for the ultra rich.

XXR 528s will be the rims of 2011. Low offsets and great prices for $500-$600. They also cater to stretching tires. Looks like someones been doing their homework...

Ever Since Honda launched the Accord in India back in 2011, barring the first the first model, the car has done well to keep the premium tab going for the Japanese marquee. The seventh generation that came a couple of years later and then the next one that came in 2008, have made it a segment leader. But no, its position is under threat with the advent of more competition and a certain new Skoda superb ruining its party.
The car is still doing well for its stiff price tag( it's brought in as a CBU from Thailand, and averages around 2,500 units sold in India every year) but in a bid to keep interest going, Hond ahas launched an updated version. It would like to call it new.
Which this Accord isn't. What it is, ias a car packed with many more features. So all of us who complained that the 2.4-litre wasn't speckled well for a car costing in excess of Rs20 lakh now have fewer things to grumble about.It might be tough to immediately point out what's new in the acr, but here's what you can look out for. The front Chrome grill now has a thivhker upper lip and two horizontal chrome slats to give it more prominence. It aslo extends all the way to the bumpers below. The front bumper aslo hs a more in-your-face look.
On the inside , the Accord remains elegant and spacious. to make it more upmarket, a sunroof is now standard accords the range. there's a wood insert on the front dash and doors. Thankfully, it looks real. Cruise control is also standard on the car now, but strangely they have left out stereo controls on the steering wheel.
On the road, the 2.4 Accord now has more teeth. Not in terms of power but in terms of technology bits like Vehicle Stability Assist, which includes Anti Lock braking systems, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and brake assist-all now standard on the car.
New Honda Accord starts at Rs.26 lakh ( ex-showroom price Mumbai)

Don't you just love capitalism and democracy? 80% of the money generated in the U.S went to the 1% population. Is it even still possible for immigrants to reinvent themselves socially and economically? Those early 20th century days of immigrant prosperity are gone. God Bless America right?

Apparently automotive enthusiast are only mourning the lost of a race track in Japan. Great job in showing compassion. I think they have bigger shit to worry about assholes. How can you like some shit like this on facebook?? If your a Japan lover nows the time to put your money where your mouth is and help with the clean up.
I'm at complete loss of words. First the engulfing flood Australia encountered now this. Possible tsunami now predicted in the Pacific.

This year promises to be Audi's best in India. The company notched up record sales in Jnauary and Audi's flagship, the all new A8, has been well received. However, its the all new A6 that Audi is banking on to take it within spitting distacnce of its German rivals on the Sales chanrts.
The midsize luxury saloon sits in the core of the luxury category, where fresher fresher opposition from BMW and Mercedes has stolen the march.The imminent launch of new A6 couldn't be timelier. The previous Audi A6 dates back to 2004 and has fallen far behind the E-class and 5-series.With the new car's technology-packed design and brilliant detailing, its now ready to compete on equal, if not better , terms.
The A6's design may be all new but, predictably, it bears more than a passing resemblance to the outgoing model. There is lot more of A8 in it as well, like the wide grille and very distinctive LED headlights which makes the A6 look like a scaled doen version of its bigger brother.
The A6 is slightly shorter than the outgoing model and the roof-line is lower too.Audi Believes as the customer spends most of the time inside the car, that's where attention needs to be lavished. Interiors are simply superb and is an appealing mix of curves and lines with a high level of detailing.
The new A6 comes packed with the tech too, a lot of which has ticked down from A8. The A6's chassis is more than up to the tasks of handling its class- best performance. Body control is brilliant over undulating and winning Sicilian roads at high speeds it has a poise and precision that is very reassuring.
Audi A6 starting range is from Rs.38 lakh.

Chevrolet Beat Diesel, Beat Car, Beat car LPG, Electric Beat , Chevy beat pics
The Thar is not a bad off-roader. While we gloated in the Thar on our way over the trail , we started having some apprehensions about the kind of obstacles we'd encounter once we got there. The 540 easily kept up with the Thar in straight line. But the Thar has better poise through corners, lifeless steering notwithstanding. At Rs. 6.3 lakhs all you get is a blower and a heater; so be ready to sweat. That climbed up the hill without any drama. We powered up the hill but the Thar stopped just short of the crest with an expensive sounding bang. On checking , we found out that one of the lower arms has perched itself nicely on the rock. Thar does 100kph in 16.4 secs. The leafy spring suspension although brilliant off-road, just doesn't cope well on tarmac and at high speed.
Every time you hit a bump, you feel like you're in the tumble dry stage of a washing machine. Definitely not nice if you had a large meal. Okay, so the Thar is no S-class, but it rides much better and doesn't insists on force-feeding you the texture of the road. And at also isn't such an animal when you need to go around bends. Thar was quite good on tarmac.
At 6.28 lakh, the Thar definitely needs air-con at least, if not also a hard-top , slight;y better interiors would' hurt, either- hey you are spending close to Rs 7 lakh on this!

Is it worth paying big money for the Suzuki Kizashi?
Suzuki Kizashi is as posh as it gets and will be sold as a completely build unit, so it comes bundled with all the performance, safety and comfort features you would find in a car of its class. Speaking of which, it falls between the Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla and the Honda Accord/ Toyota Camry in terms of dimension. Its wheelbase is identical to that of a civic (and more than Corolla), but overall length and width is higher than either of these two. Kizashi is has an ex-showroom price of `16.5-18 Lakh.
So what changes have been carried out to make the Kizashi suitable for Indian Roads? “The ground clearance has been increased by 15mm and the engine has been tuned to accept Indian fuel.” Says Mr.Rao, Maruti Suzuki Managing Executive Officer. ‘And its only front wheel drive in India, unlike all wheels drive in other countries,’
Maruti Suzuki is behaving extremely conservatively with this car. Historically, they have not been successful in selling cars beyond `8 lakhs. The Grand Vitara didn’t sell well, while they sell around 1500 units of the SX4 each month. So in an attempt not to over-reach them in category they are not sure of dominating and to preserve valuable plant capacity, the Kizashi will be a CBU. Suzuki has taken also taken a safe step to launch this car only in three colors-black, Silver and White!
Now the question is if Maruti was so unsure about the impact of Kizashi on market, why did they launch it? Answer is simple: They want to be prepared to be a major player in a segment they have never been around in. They want to conquer their traditional weakness while being future ready. Makes sense. Besides why keep customers graduating in your fold and then hand them over to the waiting hands of the competition simply because they don’t have a car in that segment ?
Design wise, it has pronounced nose treatment, the headlamps and the egg-crate grille all add up to a very prominent frond-end, while an aggressive and pronounced waistline gives it a stance. Inside, the central display is virtually a fill black unit with black electronic screens, with display for the climatiser and the audio system. It’s quite cool and different from the other cars in its segment. The interiors are beige Even the instrument cluster is quite nice and sporty. The only sore point about the look is the spoiler that sticks out of the boot lid. Kizashi has an independent design; it looks different from all other cars in its segment. The Switchgear ia vastly improved and is unique to this car. The drivers’ seat comes with a 10-way power adjustment with three memory setting and adjustable lumbar support as well.
Performance wise, it’s muscular with 2400cc, six-speed manual transmission engine. The car is brilliantly engineered and its capability mach its sporty look. The tyres make the Kizashi stay planted so one can enjoy straightening the curves. Rear passengers may not find it comfy, but the suspension does its job.
Kizashi is a brilliant driver’s car, muscular and powerful. At the price of `16.5-18 Lakh, it is quite good value. It’s big; it’s loaded with stuff including safety features, is well built, is tastefully appointed and has a drivetrain that compares well to those in large sedans. According to me people should be ready to pay for that much for the above mentioned features.
Everybody wants to save money these days. Choosing a good hatchback is one way to save lot of your hard earned money. Car sales have been on a high in the past year and especially brisk since the recession got over. For those who are moving up the ladder wand want good things in life, here we are suggesting you the Chevrolet small cars, which can suite your pocket.
Spark: Price Range Rs. 3.2 to 4.3 Lakh
The Cheapest Chevrolet, the Spark is quintessential bubble-gum car that also happens to be a very honest price. Its Handsome, sturdy, and solid good looks to give it an edge in the market. The city-drivability of Spark is extremely comfortable due to its compact size, agility, and easy handling.
Squeezed in between the Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Santo, the spark lives thanks to its effervescence exterior treatment and spark-ling interiors. Performance is not bad either, with the 1.0-litre four-pot engine good for urban use and the odd out-of-town jaunt. The overall manners of the car aren’t unbecoming of a hatch and those looking to save some in their wallet will certainly be pleased. Another bumper after-sales package and the spark sure is some success story.
Beat: Price Range Rs. 3.5 to 4.7 Lakh
Beat is the new age hatchbacks. It is quite a funky looking hatch with good occupant space, GM’ legendary ride quality and very interesting interior too. While the car does have a youthful exuberance externally, under the hood lies a 1.2-litre motor that is buzzy and has a sort of motorcycle –like appeal to it. Performance is adequate and fuel efficiency is good too. Beat’s success however was been limited and that’s due to the lack of diesel option, but the scene is going to change by mid of 2011, as GM will be launching the diesel version of Beat. Beat has a very appealing warranty and service package to give it a peace-of-mind factor.
Aveo: Price Range Rs. 4.2 to 7.3 Lakh
Chevrolet Aveo UVA has been in the market for a while now; the aveo and U-VA may not enjoy top-of-mind recall, but they do have some good points. The U-VA’s 1.2-litre engine on the other hand is to give the car excise duty benefits that it enjoys by being a sub 1-metr hatch. Performance here too is sedate and it is reasonably efficient. However, it seems to lack any strong selling point.
All Chevrolet cars come with a “Chevrolet Promise” - free Maintenance for 3 years.
Very soon the Cars will be running on water, this is the latest dream seen by Ratan Tata . The Tata group chairman has already invested a whooping amount of fifteen million US dollar in a start-up firm, which is going to do a research on it.
Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Prof C N R Rao, had informed the news agencies that a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology had managed to discover a way to split water into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. So the cars will be called as Hydrogen Cars.
These cars will be hydrogen-powered or alternative-fuel vehicles that will use hydrogen (H2) as fuel for motion. Hydrogen is burnt using a devices which use a little electricity from the car's battery separates water into a gas called HHo (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). This gas is also called Brown's Gas or Hydroxy. This gas burns very well producing a lot of energy, converting water‘s chemical energy into mechanical energy. Hydrogen is either burnt in an internal combustion engine, or, hydrogen and oxygen are brought to react with each other in a fuel cell, thus running the electric motor.
Any kind of water can be used for this purpose, whether it could be a rain, toilet or sea water; it can be broken into Hydrogen and oxygen. This invention is not new to the market, scientist earlier have already run cars on alternative fuels such as gas, waste material and water. Some scientist have even said that using water will double the mileage, and it takes only 4 gallons of distilled water per year and a small bottle of catalyst. This technology will be cost effective and will be an immediate solution to the pollution and energy crisis.
Comparison Between SX4, VW Vento and Fiat Linea, Diesel Sedan
0 comments Posted by smash at 11:28 PMFiat Linea created a sensation when it was launched, its attractive line, powerful 90bhp diesel and impressive features list making it a car you just couldn’t ignore. Volkswagen’s recently launched Vento has shot up the popularity charts too. With even more cabin space, considerable more power and VW’s attention to detail, is it any wonder that this car is the best selling diesels in its class? The new kid on the block though is Maruti’s SX4 diesel, and it promises plenty. It’s no spring chicken; the petrol version has been around since 2007 and let’s not forgets how well every one of Maruti’s diesel products has fared. The fiat-sourced engines are well transplanted, performance is always strong and fuel economy is impressive too.
Interiors
The Sx4 diesel’s interiors reveal no significant changes over the petrol version. Yes, there are few changes like side vents, steering wheel, and gear level and power windows button. The plastics don’t feel very rich and some of the buttons don’t have a quality feel either. The chrome highlights look good and the HVAC dials functions beautifully. Also, the driving position is slightly elevated and the front seats are extremely supportive.
Volkswagen Vento’s interior is identical to Polo’ cabin with improved textures, fabrics, colors and equipment. Overall plastics quality is very good. Plenty of chrome lighting, especially on the center console. The plenty of support for the thighs and the seat base is large, but the support for the shoulder is only average. Driving position is really comfortable.
Whereas Linea driving is not that comfortable, steering just juts out at you and pedals have a very long travel. It does take a while to get comfortable behind the wheel but once you get used to it , comfort levels are quite high. Seats are the largest and most supportive of the three saloons. The design of the dash and the instrument console is quite impressive. The retro watch face instrument panel and the soft touch buttons on the center console is quite good. There are plenty of cheap plastics though- the vents, door locks etc.
Of the three cars, the Vento has the most comfortable rear seat. Thigh support is good. The Linea has very good thigh support as well even better than the VW, but legroom is a bit tight and there is a serious shortage of headroom for tall passengers. Sitting is nice and high in SX4, and getting in and out is easy. The Vento is the most sparsely equipped.
