styling by pinifarina...suspension tweaks by lotus...engine by holden (of the 330 bhp v8 monaro fame)...and pricing and warranty by koreans...whats to hate about the optra?!?!

the most underrated car in india is probably the forester...that thing handles not just like a car...but a halfway sportscar...great smooth power deliver...refined engine...all whl drive...lovely made in japan quality...and all this without the turbo option! pity they badged it a chevy...

the most overrated car is the accent....in bangalore every software guy worth his esop buys one (normally in silver)...thats the ultimate jack of all trades...master of none...the interiors kinda feel like a small cars...FE isnt great...neither is acceleration...and looks can best be described as BORING.
