Amazing TATA PIXEL concept from TATA
Based on the Tata Nano, the Tata Pixel -- at just over three metres in length it can comfortably accommodating four adults.The Tata Pixel's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT), which assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. The result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The 'scissor' doors rotate upwards from the front to allow passengers to effortlessly enter or exit the Tata Pixel, even in the tightest of spaces.A 1.2 litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, positioned at the rear of the Tata Pixel, gives lively performance. The engine is a low-friction design, featuring variable coolant and oil pump and rapid warm-up technologies. With optimised aerodynamic drag, low rolling-resistance tyres, stop-start technology, and intelligent battery charging, the Tata Pixel returns European combined cycle (NEDC) fuel economy of 3.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.A forward sweeping roofline, with minimal front and rear overhangs, accentuates the youthful styling. The Tata Pixel is also designed to provide a high level of connectivity. Key functions are controlled by the driver's smart phone, running 'My Tata Connect' -- the first integrated human-machine interface (HMI) concept from Tata Motors.

I don't think so, it is said that the body remains the same with just a few cosmetic change like, headlight, front grill and interior which are available off the self, moreover this changes are believed to give the vehicle a better decent looks and not a stripped down version.

Nothing great, apart from the turning radius everything sucks,it looks like a glorified TATA Nano.
Usualy it takes 2 seconds for me to open the door and start the car,this women took like a minute to start the car with all that gizmo, why would anyone want to make their life slower?

rather disappointed to know this.... 
still a fiat is better then an Indica and Maruti, yes I know when u talk about music for an Indica, once I turned on the hazard lights of my friends Indica and I end up in a road side garage to switch it off, it was embarrassing.

Nissan starts production of the Sunny sedan in India
Nissan India has just announced the start of production of the Sunny. Based on the new V-platform the Sunny will be second car to be manufactured completely in India after the Micra. The car will be manufactured at the company's Oragadam facility near Chennai.

We wanted the mid-size sedan to be available during the upcoming festival season and we successfully accelerated our work program to make that schedule. Nissan Sunny will help to leverage our position as one of the key players in the Indian market".
The Sunny is expected to slot in at roughly Rs 7 to 9 lakh which will place it in contention with the City and the Vento in the C-segment. The Sunny sits on a 2600mm platform based on the Toyota Corolla which will mean the space inside will be pretty good. Engines in use will be the 106PS 1.5-litre petrol, the four cylinder version of the Micra's three cylinder engine. The car will also use the 1.5-liter dCi that is common to a lot of Renault-Nissan cars.
The car will hit the markets this festive season.

It is manufactured with 85% local content of which 40% of the components are sourced from Chennai. The sedan is expected to appeal to young families looking for a medium sized sedan that combines a dynamic upscale design with the space, quality and features associated with the Nissan brand.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Kiminobu Tokuyama, Managing Director and CEO, NMIPL. said, "Start of production of Nissan SUNNY is another significant milestone for Nissan in India.

Italy's Vyrus Motorcycles to roll out high-end bikes in India
Vyrus
Vyrus Motorcycles is a small bike manufacturer and used to work alongside Bimota earlier, both of which are based in Rimini, Italy. Vyrus has two models in its portfolio: 984 and 985. In India, these motorcycles could cost as much as Rs. 22 lakh (excluding tax). At that price, you can keep 3 or 4 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 bikes in your garage!

New Bajaj Pulsar 220F video surfaces ahead of plans of a re-branded Pulsar
If there's anything else Bajaj Auto is known for, other than its bikes, then it must be their TV commercials, especially the ones they make for their Pulsar variant. Remember Pulsar's "Fear the Black" ad or the more recent "Stunt Mania" commercial? These ads not only struck an instant chord with the youth, they also attained cult status.

Honda CBR vs Ninja 250R: Specifications comparison chart
The Honda CBR250R is already here, at prices that really make you think you could afford one. And this time, it is not like in the case of the Ninja250R, which though much desired, is priced beyond what most of us can afford.
No wonder there is huge interest in the bike. Other manufacturers like Suzuki and Yamaha have already indicated that they will launch their own 250 cc bikes very soon. The Suzuki GW250 as well as the Yamaha FZ250 are on their way here – hopefully.
