The sun picked a nice spot in the sky to shoot its fearsome rays down on us. It's a hot Texan day at the Inks Ranch, a day that demands you sit indoors with a cool beer and bare minimum clothing. It's most certainly not a day for being out in the sun and on any other place on the planet I would have had a raging headache in this...

Mumbai: The Chevrolet Enjoy is the third model from the GM SAIC partnership and will be available in both petrol and diesel variants. We drove both the models and came back with mixed reactions.

Audi India for one has never shied away from stating that it wants to be number one among the luxury marquees in the country. And it hasn't tried to hide behind a moral curtain either, just in case it failed to achieve its objective.
