Now there is enough and more in the pipeline when it comes to SUVs but the Chevrolet Trailblazer will be the first to hit the scene. Here's what we thought about the car.
How do you keep a 35 year old model relevant? Keep updating it of course, add new engines, and even give it the AMG treatment. That's the formula Mercedes-Benz has employed to keep the iconic G Wagon selling.
Despite the fact that the Indian car market has been down for some time now, there has never been a lack of buzz or anticipation around certain new products. The Hyundai Creta certainly qualifies with flying colours in that department.
It is not often one gets the chance to live his dream. And when it happens more than once it is extra special. That is still how I feel every time I go back to Maranello to test a new car coming out of Scuderia Ferrari. Goosebumps all over - every time!
The good folks at Triumph Motorcycles India were kind enough to invite us to Barcelona, Spain to test ride the 2017 Street Triple and yes, this was a revelation.
Apart from the updates to meet BS IV emission norms, the engine remains the same, the overall silhouette remains the same, although there are a few minor aesthetic changes to differentiate it from the earlier Pulsar 200NS.

Fast-forward 20 years to 2017, and Volvo has decided to update its model portfolio and the Cross Country badging is now offered on the V9
We are talking about a new generation Nissan Micra that has grown into a modern, sporty and trendy car. What was wrong with the previous generation? Looking at global sales numbers, nothing. In six years it sold over 6 million units worldwide. But it wasn't a success in India. So, we bring you the exclusive review of the new gen Micra that is truly a premium car.
The absolute bestselling model for Mercedes-Benz in India, the E-Class has so far accounted for 34% of sales in the company's over 2 decade history in India.
Toyota had also boarded the two-tone bandwagon last year, given the success most carmakers seem to have with the option. The Etios Liva Platinum edition has this option on the V grade but it seems Toyota received much feedback to introduce the feature in the top spec too.
