arreddyy 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2010 I've created this thread so that we can post some fresh developments going in the market and the first hand news, about which the facts are little known and very few details are provided. So, today's breaking news is : Daimler to bring affordable range for the Indian market. Daimler to develop a small SUV in competition with BMW.

anjan_c2007 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2010 Senate OKs National Collector Car Day (Source Old Cars Weekly, USA) dated May 12, 2010 . Eventually,maybe July 9 will become the Mardis Gras of the old car hobby. Or atleast a day for hobbyists to get drop the top, fire up their old carsand maybe chirp the tires.This week, the United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 513 (S.Res. 513) to designate that date Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has been after Manipal ever since. Already found 1800 crores + 150kg Gold. What about his partners in the scam! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creativebala 178 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Bajaj scraps ties with Renault on ULC project ! Possibility of going all alone! SCRAP is a wrong word printed by many media. Bajaj is going to make the car, as OEM or just manufacturer. The car won't bear bajaj's name. No advertisements or marketing by bajaj. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2010 VW Polo 1.6L to be here in October. Bookings open for 50,000!! http://www.autocarindia.com/news/polo-16-petrol-here-october The wait may be a lot but atleast its finally here. Also, the rumors about it having only 90BHP are wrong(as expected) and the car will have 103.5BHP. This is great news. Now the only left to figure out is where to get 50,000 Rs. from. Yay!! __________________________________ Besides this new facelifted Merc CL63 and CL65 AMG have been revealed.
