[ramie2400]

Where does such Rally happenes and why none of us come to know about it

[FERRO]

wow 42 kmpl now that should take Hyundai in Guinness record book for beating some targets set by expensively researched Hybrid or eco friendly cars.
we all know how much the media persons get paid to report all this bull****.

[jesal]

if they only type it gives 15-20 then also people will buy the story 43 is pushing itttt. oh well anything above 10-15 and im more than happy anyways,

Poor auto journalists. I hope they stayed at some really nice 5-star plus resort, because they never get to stay in such places either.

I wonder how many ads HMIL had to pledge to get the most incredulous figures.

Like someone here mentioned, how come people get to know about these rallys only after the event is over and the 'results' are ready?

I just wish it return that milage as I have booked Verna and will be picking it up in 2-3 days

[Hurrycane12]

i dont believe the Verna giving above 10 KMPL

[karanraheja]

This should be put in the Heights of Heights Contest.

what is the message hyundai want to show with it. verna is a good car. we drive car for pleasure, luxury, speed and ofcourse average, but not this kind of average.

i think even hybrid cars wont perform like this !

[blue_pulsar]

I guess they are confused. Must be per 42.4 km per gallon.

[LLL]

BTW, can hyundai be hauled up in consumer court for false advertising?

[reveal_da_zeal]

its not what happened to one of the unit but what matters is what it actually delivers to regular runners... I admire you sharing the 'NEWS' with others though...

[ankit.jhamb]

not sure whether it is the same rally,which was being shown on NDTV`s raftaar (saturday morning).i dont think they will lie about the figures if this is the same rally.

Its not uncommon for diesel cars to give 40kmpl in mileage rallys.

Not to mention they "switched off" the engines and their brains tooo
