SPARK OR i10 OR ESTILO??

Posted on November 6th, 2007 by by CarPlanet

The i10 made a very impressive debut in a segment that attracts maximum number of Indian customers. It is clearly much more superior and better looking than its cousin Santro, which so far has been the reigning king. The i10 is all set to rise to the top of small hatch market.

The spark is technologically sound and its revised and lower pricing since the launch makes it more attractive and a close contender to the i10. But it still didn’t impact the number of sparks seen on the road.

The Estilo, though very strong in features, is left behind because as it driving dynamics such as torque and gear shift are not upto the mark. Clearly, i10 seems to establish its supremacy among the three!!

Posted on July 21st, 2007 by by CarPlanet

October 18th 1980, is one of the most significant days in Indian motorsport. It was when the first Himalayan rally was flagged off from brabourne stadium in Bombay. There were 74 participants out of which 27 were international. The route took participants from through Aurangabad to central India and then up to Agra.

From here they headed into the forests of the Corbett and then to lower-hills of Himalayas such as Shimla before finishing it in Delhi on October 25th. At the prize distribution ceremony, where Shekhar Mehta was declared the winner, Mrs Indira Gandhi was the Chief Guest.

But due to various adversities experienced by the participants in the rally, it could never live up to the potential of becoming a world championship and eventually died a slow death.
