The stone-guard is an under-body mounting - plastic composite I think - which protects the under-body from scrapes and bumps. One more reason on which I chose the Petra over the Baleno. Don't have a picture as of now.

So Torque series is not launched yet,is it?

[mahadev_kc]

Engine that is available on Palio 1.6 series is the 1.6 "TORQUE" engine. Currently it is discontinued in Europe from where it is earlier imported from (thats what I read from the net). Now they are designing 1.8lts engine based on the "TORQUE" engine platform.

Hope I made it clear.
