Auto Expo 2016 Brings the American Muscles to India


The Auto Expo 2016 held at Noida ExpoMart was full of surprises as it featured specially those Automobiles that are going to launch this year as previously the Concept cars used to be showcased and then after some years they were launched but this time all the manufacturers tried to throw away the old approach and adapt a fresh one and that's to showcase all the cars which are gong to launch this year so that the Petrol heads (Like me) could think about their new options instead of just sticking to the older available Models which offer no exclusivity as they are very common among
every buyer in India.
Now this is the American's turn to Shine as they brought a lot of Premium Models here which could topple the segment dominated by the Germans and by the British by which I mean the following as they produce cars that go from 40 lakhs to 1+ crores.
  • BMW,Mercedes,Audi
  • Porsche
  • Jaguar,Land Rover


The Chevrolet Camaro
which leaves no chance for any other manufacturer to survive as these Brands offer High performance and luxury as well but this time all this is going to change as the American's brought  their Ever-popular muscle cars which will hit the Indian roads this year which Includes the Legendary Ford-Mustang and the Classic Chevrolet-Camaro.
As both of these cars are High-Performance muscle cars which will be a big boost to the Indian Buyers now as these cars do not carry the extra burden of the custom duties and other taxes like they use to carry before as they are now officially going to Launch this year with very competitive prices so that they could go with the likes of the class leading Germans and British manufacturers.
One of the main highlights in these Cars is that they don't look like a regular Sportscar or a Sports Sedan which differentiates them from everyone else and as the name says, these Look muscular and everything about these cars is Huge, be it the Engine,Body,Power,Performance and that's the main reason they are called Muscle cars because of their extra Muscular Attitude and other Characteristics.

These cars also offer a decent amount of  ground clearance as it is one of the most negative factor in every Sports/Super car Launched in India as the Indian roads are not Quite Smooth everywhere and you need a car which offers good performance and good ride height to enjoy the performance and Ride Quality which the Ford and Chevrolet will Surely Possess as these are Muscle cars which can be driven daily without the fear of getting your car touched over every Speed-breaker or some other pothole.
Now the most Crucial factor which is going to decide the fate of these Cars is the Price as there are a lot of alternatives in this category and If the American's want to flaunt their Muscles then they'll have to arm wrestle with every one in order to Win.
Let's see what these Muscles do to the Indian buyers but one thing is for sure that the they'll surely Change the taste of Indian Buyers as now we'll be having a new category among the "Luxury,Hot hatch,Efficient,SUV,Sports Sedan" and that will be the "MUSCLE" category but till then one we can ask ourselves one question that Who'll win of these two ? Lets wait for these to come to India then it'll be decided when these titans will go Head-to-Head against each other.
All of you must have made their choices about which is the best and it happens as everyone has their own choices but My personal preference is the Mustang. Whats yours ?

New Enthusiastic Buyers want Power over Efficiency

The Indian Auto market has seen a huge rise over the years in all segments where the Brands are constantly launching the Machines which are capable of providing the customers with Impressive performance's as well as great fuel efficiency.
The old Brands are taking advantage of their Decades old reputation and on the other hand the Companies who didn't have the best fortunes over the last few years are reviving themselves with new products which are accompanied with stunning spec-sheets and eye-catchy looks.
The Punto Abarth takes its Punto Platform to next level
For Instance the fiat Punto Abarth which was launched in India as a Simple looking Italian car(Not for me but for the Maruti, Hyundai people) which had only 72-90bhp and was not that Impressive in performance as compared to the competition, now gets a fresh new look as well as a very strong power band. This new car is having a Rival and yes you got it right,its the Polo high-line which produces 105 bhp but if you want to really compare these two cars then I'm sorry you cannot because the Punto is miles-miles ahead of this car in terms of power as well in terms of Engine dynamics.The Punto produces a monstrous 150 bhp which is enough to propell this beast from 0-100km/hr in less than 9 seconds. Clearly this time its the Fiat's turn to shine as they've made a car which has got everything that the Fiat buyers were craving for the last 5-6 years.This one's gonna be hatchback that'll be providing the most amount of fun to the Indian buyers.These days the new breed of buyers especially the young buyers which are aware as well as smart, want something different, something which doesn't want to carry the huge burden of  "high fuel efficiency" as well as low maintenance. These new buyers want performance as well as handling so that they can extract all the horses that these cars are capable to providing at their disposal.These days the Buddh International Circuit is hosting track days for the people who want to takes their cars for a spin around this awesome circuit.
Now its time to talk about the next segment which is not an hatchback nor a sedan, its the SUV Segment and it also has some fresh looking cars which are trying to give each of them a run for their money. Lets see who succeeds.
The 2013 Toyota Fortuner
First of all, if we have a look at the Premium SUV market in India then only one SUV comes to our mind and that's the Fortuner as over the years this SUV has beaten every car in its segment and in exceptional cases some cars above its segment. 
This Dominance was a combination of Muscular looks,refined engine,reliability and easy manouverability as all of this was not present in the previous leader, the Ford Endeavour.
The Ford Endeavour 2016

But now the tables have turned as Ford has launched a fresh new Endeavour for 2016 which offers great performance,handling,maneuverability as well as looks. Lets see if this one offers a close fight to the former.
