The new Vento is only so new. Yes that is pretty much how it goes for most facelifts I know, but some mechanical changes would be nice too, eh?

It is one of the very few cars that plays the dual role many sports sedans and coupes wish to play - most effectively. It can be your stately saloon, your racy 4-door coup, and also a thoroughbred sports fiend!

There are a handful of hybrid cars in India, when I say handful, I mean you need just three. There's the Toyota Prius, Camry and the BMW i8. That's it. So, it came as a surprise when Toyota said that there is a facelift of the Camry Hybrid coming to India. We drive it to see what it's all about.

All this effort and investment, 2 billion pounds to be precise, will mean little as the battle with the Germans is largely on how this baby Jag delivers on driving dynamics and engine performance.

Audi's original TT from the 1990s was a unique car that created almost its own sub-segment, and spawned many rivals. It has already achieved legendary status. And so Audi has no choice but to simply get it right with this model line in particular.

After making it big in the compact SUV segment with the launch of the Duster, Renault is trying to break new ground by introducing India to an MPV. It's called the Lodgy and we've got a chance to drive it. Here's what we felt.

Yeah - so it's an effort at doing a glorified, high-riding i20. What I'd have liked to see instead is a glorified i20 with skirts and splitters, and 50 more horsepower with a revised steering geometry. What is it they say about wishes and horses and whatnot!

The second generation Volvo XC90 has come after a long gap - 12 years since the first generation was launched. So, Volvo certainly had to work very hard to ensure that it got things right. At the very start let me say - it has.
