what size are those alloys in the post damn they are nice and big. hyundai really should make these cars now and sell them. so nice and futuristic they are. would be nice if they start the trend first the rest will follow

Good job Steer.

Have a doubt, all those are Indian models? ellam kolukal!

Hey Steeroid,

Thanks a lot for taking my request and for the quick upload of FIAT Pics, Punto and the 500 look stunning

1.3 MJD engine look good too. I hope FIAT get the Punto soon on the roads, looks like the BRAVO is missing from the FIAT stall.

fantastic coverage!! Thanks for all the pics and info.

Steeroid.. I thought you stolen my pics of QarmaQ. I had taken many of it from the same angles. cool job man.

gt_bhp · 11th January 2008, 19:27

Steeroid- Simply Superb!!! Your pics have given me a ring side view of the expo. Great work.

Awesome pics of Linea, Punto, 500, Palio D and human models too!

Thanks Steer!

Enjoyed going through the pictures!

Hyundai always has some very interesting concepts - which somehow either turn out very drab in production form, or don't make it to production at all - which is fine, considering they aren't the most practical!

The violet (Civicish) Honda looks nice - what is it called?!

TATA Xenon seems to have much better lines (& interiors) compared to the tacky Sumo.

The Fiat 500 should be good, and it also seems like the most passionately derived Fiat model of late. I Love these retro-revivals (Mini, Fiat 500).
The rest of the Fiat designs, except the Punto, perhaps, look boring.

deepakhon · 11th January 2008, 22:50

Awesome pics Steer. Enjoyed them.

I must say that Hyundai designs have started to look better now a days. Their i series are good designs and I have started to love them. Was there any news of i30?

I have never loved the new Honda designs, including the Civic.

Fiat's designs have also started to look good after their disasters like Multipla, Doblo, etc.

Nice pics..steer! Hmmm...I'm still stuck at the Linea..

Wimwian · 11th January 2008, 23:46

Thank you so much Steer... you've made the Auto Expo come alive for me!! Seeing them first hand is the obvious choice... but given the constraints I have to live in (or rather work in), I'll take your pics any day

Great photography!!
