Mumbai: The Volkswagen Polo GT TSI is the German carmaker's most advanced hatchback in India yet. Now, we've already told you about the technology that governs its engine - TSI (you can read about it here) but it also has one of the most advanced gearboxes - a dual clutch automatic DSG - among hatchbacks in the country.

Ten years is a long time for a car to be the top seller. Ten years is also a long time for a car to not get any serious updates. So I don't even have to tell you how badly the Alto needed an update seeing how it has been around for 12 years. And no, I dont care how well it was selling despite not getting an update. 12...

Here's the thing with updates in the automotive world. If the update involves only visual details, sooner or later people will figure out that there is not enough meat in the upgrade and the numbers will drop. If it involves only mechanical changes, people won't see anything different in the first place and the numbers will suffer. The key lies in getting the perfect balance of the visual and technological...

People call us the generation Z. We grew up with MP3s, gameboys, iPods, text messaging, Playstations, Xboxes, WiFi and countless similar luxuries. But in the process we missed out on rock and roll, the summer of love, VW buses, discos, tie and dye clothing and flower power. There is one other thing that was as much a part of the 70's as dreadlocks and peace pipes " a little scooter...

Then you kept seeing him at all the other parties and you got over his really bad teeth.

My first memory of the Sumo is of a massive vehicle barrelling towards my dad's car while waiting at a red light. I remember it coming to a halt next to our car and sort of going into a nosedive. In my childhood ignorance, oblivious to the benefits of hard suspension, I thought "wow! That must be fun." Its been several years since that day and now as fate would...

Think America and there are a few things that come to mind " big juicy burgers, stars and stripes, Led Zeppelin, hot dogs and massive gas guzzling trucks. And that last part of America is what has made its way into India in the form of the Ford Endeavour. The Endeavour is everything a SUV has to be. It is big on size and attitude, menacing to look at and...

Now we are no strangers to the Indica. We have been seeing Tata's first attempt at a passenger car since its introduction in 1998. In its lifetime it has had many incarnations such as the Indica, Indica V2, Indicab, Indica eV2 and lately the Indica Vista. What Tata tried with the Indica Vista was to make the car feel more upmarket and youthful in an effort to appeal more to...

When Babur decided it was time to lay the foundations for the Mughal empire, he marched his armies across the Khyber Pass and into Delhi. Once he had claimed Delhi for himself he figured out that a little southeast of Delhi was a sprawling city known as Agra where much of Ibrahim Lodi's wealth was concentrated. Now that Babur had established himself in Hindustan, there appeared a new threat "...

The first generation R15 did two things. It gave the enthusiast an immensely capable chassis mated to a scorcher of an engine. It also finally gave the wannabe a fully faired motorcycle and one that shared DNA with two great supersport motorcycles " the R1 and the R6. The enthusiast and the wannabe both had one complaint each. The enthusiast said " why only 150cc? The wannabe said " what's...

What do Katherine Heigl and Gul Panag have in common? Both make us line up at the box office. Both make guest appearances in our dreams. Both have graced several magazine covers. Both make it to our list of top ten pin up girls. Aside from all this, there is also another similarity that is not quite as obvious. They both drive Audi Q5s. Now India is no stranger to...
