Cars with automatic transmissions are the future and also the need of the hour. If you thought the technology was expensive; well not anymore. There are two affordable AMTs in the market and we drive them to find out which is better.

Two cars stand on the evolution ladder - the Bolt and the Grand i10; while Hyundai wants to enter a new segment, Tata Motors wants to tell people that it's made a car that moves away from the Indica's shadow. Which one will prevail?

These cars are still not of the 'hot-hatch' level. It's a good start, and things will (hopefully) only get better and more manufacturers (again, hopefully) will embrace this relatively small-volumes segment just to help build somewhat of an enthusiast culture in the mass segment of motoring here. Amen.

The new C-Class is lighter, lither and more agile. Its also modern, beautiful and yes - it is indeed the Baby S-Class - as its been popularly called all year long. Now it's set for launch in India.

It was back in 1998 when India first saw the transformation of a company named Tata. The Indica was splashed all over the front pages of newspapers and it was a design that engaged the crowd in India almost immediately. The Indica was what everyone wanted but there were glaring problems with the car.

SUVs have generated a lot of interest amongst buyers in India recently. The segment has been growing at a rapid pace and this has triggered the interest of the car manufacturers. No wonder we see a whole bunch of cars in this segment - the Renault Duster, Nissan Terrano, Tata Safari Storme and the Mahindra XUV and Scorpio.

Seems like the hatchback crossover segment is finally getting its due in India, though it currently has only the newly launched Fiat Avvetura, Toyota Etios Cross and Volkswagen Cross Polo on offer. From the look of it, the segment is likely to witness the arrival of new entrants in the near future.
