I would suggest a M800.
Reasons
1. Cheap to buy, No burden on ex-chequer.
2. Cheap to run, --"--
3. Politicians fit in the car at the same comfort level as the country is in.
4. Gives a very good feeling of the terrain they are responsible for.

There is one down side though, Many of them dont even fit in this car.

They dont need anything, provide hostel facility in the assembly premises only ,so that morning they will fight there and evening they will fight in the hostel , see how much we can save fuel,traffic,faultu speech, nuisance, give them vacation 10days before vacation.
they really worth nothing.

Give them a San Storm. A perfect vehicle...and they will even feel that they have a unique car compared to all others on the road!!

How about a tata 407....they dont deserve anything better than this.

but on a more serious note i agree with gto about the indigo diesel.

Drifter

yup, it should be the Indigo diesel........ it'll be a perfect replacement for the Amby

juts like g.t.o & drifter the first thing that struck my mind was the indigo , fuel eff, comfortable but not luxury and a decent boot for the outstation trips and all that .
but don't quite a few of them have indigos , nhc c and stuff ?

quite a few of them have indigo gle and le which do not have any features not even body colored bumpers and that is wat they deserve

DCEite · 12th March 2005, 19:58

I think they should be given Santro Xing. They will feel the indian roads when they sit in the rear seats. lol.....

islero · 12th March 2005, 20:10

I agree with GTO, Indigo will look PERFECT. The fact that its made by an indian manufacturer will make them even prouder.

i think MPs/MLAs should not be given any car but buy their own. They should be allowed to claim expenses for mileage used on official work. Lets say 50 rs/km which includes fuel+depreciation.

They will have to ofcourse justify every km expensed. While filling out the expense sheet, they will have to submit fuel receipts as well as hours of travel. if the monintoring agency is honest, it would become easier to keep the system clean and prevent its abuses...

I'll go with Indigo diesel too. Even an Esteem would be alright. Anything more expensive than these two cars is a strict "no". The Skoda Octavia at over Rs.10L is out of question.

hawkeye · 12th March 2005, 20:25

The most practical car would be the Indigo for sure.
But tell me how many MPs/MLAs actually use the official cars allocated to them. These are generally used by some of their assistants who follow the big boss sitting in the big car. Its all a status symbol for these guys.
Dont forget its a Power game

LLL,

I agree with your suggestions 100%.They look very good on paper but do you really see that happening ? & the word honesty is alien to the govt. agencies or rather it doesn't exist in their dictionary.

Any car, so long as the exhaust is piped back into the car for their air-conditioning and breathing pleasure!!
