Volkswagen has become the official car company for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games to be held in
Beijing, China, starting this August. Volkswagen will use its
luxury cars, SUVs, sedans and other vehicles to ferry players, guests and officials. The company will also involve its subsidiaries
Skoda and Audi cars for this purpose. It will supply as much as 6000 of its vehicles for this event.
Car manufactures in India could also be shipped for the event. Volkswagen has already established itself in India and has an impressive line up of cars in India. By involving itself with the Olympic Games, Volkswagen will surely receive a huge boost in all over the world especially in India where large number of people will closely follow every Olympic event. It is time that Volkswagen launched a new car in India to mark the spectacular event.

It’s a
luxury-branded world we live in. Thanks to Google, I’ve got a leak on what
Alfa Romeo in India will look like. Iconic, that is the perfect word suited for Alfa in India. I had never seen one of these before so I thought of googling it up more. Really wide, pretty low, and very sporty. It’s rare that we come across some great sporty cars in India. It is interesting in the fact that Alfa will bring a new face for
Fiat in India.
There are some nice details about Alfa Romeo. Alfa is a car that can compete head-on with the
BMW 3 Series and
Mercedes C-Class and the
Audi A4 in India. The exterior is pretty sweet. The unique grille housed between the jewel shaped headlight offers something we will have to wait for. And the news is that Alfa Romeo 159 will be the mainstay of the brand in the Indian market. Surprisingly the 159 has been Alfa’s most successful compact saloon in recent times.
Alfa look forward to price it competitively against the locally-assembled Mercs and BMWs. Alfa will certainly sell up to par with a price that of
BMW 3 Series and
Mercedes C-Class. However, sources say Alfa 159 should be launched with an entry price of Rs. 28 Lakh. I think sales will heavily depend on Indian road conditions and the company’s service back-up.
