A-Star engineers have been applauded at Geneva

As we mentioned before, the Tata Nano is basking in glory at the Geneva Motor Show and so are its designers. But it’s not just they who are being appreciated. The Indian team of engineers and their Japanese counterparts, who designed the Maruti A-Star concept car, are also receiving praises for their work. While the Nano has been stealing most of the attention, the A-Star has been well received at the motor show and has managed to make a few heads turn towards it.

Dream convertible in India

Now you can drive your dream car. Clueless? We are talking about Rolls Royce. The legendary carmaker has recently unveiled its latest creation, the Phantom Drop head Convertible in Mumbai. Rolls-Royce entered the Indian market with its super luxury Phantom.

Like all Rolls Royce, the Phantom Drophead too carries a royal appeal. The fact that its design is inspired by J-Class racing yachts of the 1930s is evident from its long bonnet, large rear teak deck and white yacht-type rear curved seats. Its short stature ensures improved handling and a spirited drive.

Positive worldwide response catapulted the 100EX concept car into a full-fledged luxury coupe. It has already received overwhelming response from a new and diverse clientele with more than half of the orders coming from customers who’ve never owned a Rolls-Royce. The company has already sold 100 units of the car worldwide and is very hopeful of the car doing well in the Indian market. It has sold 15 sedans in India this year. It’s planning to open its second Indian dealership in New Delhi. The first was opened in Mumbai in 2005.

This is one car you need not brag about. A mere mention of it inspires an august feeling and a single look casts a spell.

Maruti A-Star Concept to preview in New Delhi Auto Expo

The Maruti Suzuki saga continues. A rising star from Maruti Suzuki is in the news today. The first sketches of Suzuki’s new concept cars, Kizashi and Splash, have already started circulating the Web. Kizashi has churned out enough ‘Wows’ that seals its success in the future. Defining its knack for cranking out some brilliant concepts, Suzuki has added one more name for the future: A Star.

The new A Star will be a compact car set to be unveiled at the ninth edition of Auto Expo in January 2008. A-Star is, in fact, the forerunner of Maruti Suzuki’s global compact car that will be launched in the future. Besides this the A-Star is likely to make its entry in all major auto expos across the world. With its enthusiastically designed new concepts, Maruti will soon join the elite club of concept cars displayed for the first time in India. While the profitable Maruti Suzuki India has been in the spotlight with its top rank in JD Power’s India Customer Satisfaction Index study.

The creator of this splendid concept confirmed that the exported A-Star will come with a Suzuki badge and the domestic market will carry a Maruti badge on the rear. While the other details remain a mystery, we’ll have to wait for the official debut before our “wows” and “ohs”.

Will Beat boast in India?

Heard about the recently unveiled concept cars in the New York Auto Show in April? Global automakers presented concept vehicles and a few were good enough to win the green signal at first sight. The Chevy Beat from GM was one of these winning vehicles. GM has hinted that Beat might be produced for the retail market. This concept car is considered as the next small car from GM to launch in India.

In the show, GM showcased three mini concepts; Beat got the highest public support for its production idea of bringing to the market a right-sized car with a right-sized ecological footprint at the right time. This hot hatch is expected to sport a four-cylinder engine in India.

GM has a pretty good demand in the Indian market. However, the Chevy Beat has to win its place and compete with its hatchback siblings - the Aveo U-VA and Spark. We may just see the back of one of these models soon or maybe GM is feeling hatch lucky in India.
