Nice pics steer. We sitting in Bangalore can only enjoy seeing these pictures. Can't go to Delhi as I have some visitors from abroad are here. Keep it coming.

Thanks for the pics, Steer.
The Xenon looks quite good. Makes me want to own one. But then again, i can only wish for now.

Hey Steer, thanks a ton

, exactly what I needed & this will save me a trip to the Expo! I wonder how much of body roll will arise due to the somewhat "extended" platform at the rear (haven't read the dimensions yet, is it longer than the current Sumo)?

Great pics from all the stalls, looks like you got the Hyundai ones to pose especially for you!
See you in the evening at the "meat"

Nice Pictures.Excellent work

Hey,

Thanks for the pics, really good one's

looking at the new avante[elentra] the head lamp design looks some what copy of the civic to me. the way it slants down. Hyundai may call it european design but i feel its a lift from the civic styling. correct me if i'a, wrong.

Can you guys post pics of the FIAT stable and how about few bikes

Thanks for all the pics once again.

Cheer's,
Sajan

Thanks Steer for the wonderful pictures. The Xenon is awesome, reminds me of the Mitsubishi Storm. Add to that it has great looking interiors - in fact better than the sumo grande, and this will surely be another winner.

note-to-self: start buying TML stock.

Well, the Swift seems to have taken design cues from the Mini, but no way looks "cheap".

Coming up next, for our "Tanki" friends.

Fiat Boys kindly excuse the photography - the lighting at the Fiat stall was uneven. This is the only stall where I had to use the Flash, and I'm not a good user of the flash.
