Which Indian car would go on and on.

[sridhar24]

Its got to be the Qualis. And generally other japnese cars including Maruti Szukis.

Without a doubt....its got to be good old Amby!!!
Havent you seen this car continuing with the same shape, material and value for decades....based on the old morris oxford...its a shame that this car is still going on and that too strong...with all the govt support it garners...

Though I must admit that the back seat comfort is one of the best in India...for 2 people..

[tabrez02]

I would say cheap and best M800

By the above statement, then it is the ambassador because
1) No other shell can last for 2/3 engine changes.(Rudra sir has changed 4/5 i suppose)
2) All mechanical parts
3) No fear of getting out of service area.
4) you can learn something while you maintain your ambassador.
5) a family sentiment

If after 10 years a poll is taken, there are bright chances that the amby will be there.you cant say for qualis.

rightly said man. take a close look at today's amby, and compare it with say amby mark 4 of 70's
so what did you expect? the only changes are : new instrument panel, looks like stolen from some cheap car, steereing and a few nick nacks here and there, but surely defintely all out of place.
shame that the inside door panels have the same rexin-over-cardboard panels, power windows - hey cmon it still got those old rotating levers, headlights and taillights, well the less said the better. they have redesigned the same puny small tail light so many no of times. It has changed color from yellow to orange to red and what not
wait for 1-2 years and the new amby starts getting rusted on the body
i can go on and on...
but the reality is that amby is still going strong, and HM needs a kick in the a** for serving the same stale dish for the last 60 years or so.
man!
I can bet that this is the OLDEST CAR BODY SHELL STILL CONTINUED, of all cars in the world.
any polls for this?

Maruti cars have the drive shaft and suspension problem that creak up every 40,000km!! I cant argue with the engine though.

I think the only car that would still take a hell of a lot of abuse is the old faith full Ambi, we have a ambi back at my home town thats almost 50yrs old now and still seems to be running well every day that to on bad roads. Cant beat that, give credit where its due.

The closest to that would be the Maruti Esteem, its a good work horse and so is the Santro.

Had to be the good old Ambi...
Of the most recent cars, I think the Qualis will come in first....
Voted these 2 'cause they survive constant abuse from the cab drivers.. I don't think a car like 800 or an alto can survive abuse from cabbies...

the maruti 800. period
