Ford is not participating this year.

Agree polo is good news so far hope no shockers on price eagerly waiting for team bhpers to post after the show and also for expert opinions on the engine. I called the dealer here he has no clue abt this jus took my number. 6.5 for highline would be a dream I guess, wonder how this matches upto i20 in terms of siZe/ dimensions.

Yeti’s overall length allows drivers to fit into parking spaces that are far from generous, while its width guarantees that the doors can be opened wide in tight spots. And if the terrain becomes rough and more challenging, the slim stature of the Yeti always finds a gap to get through. The permanent, intelligent, power-distributing four-wheel drive with 17 inch alloy wheels, hill hold and hill start assist with a ground clearance of 180 millimeters makes Yeti fun and dynamic to drive on and off the road. Skoda is expected to launch the Yeti by the end of 2010.

Sounds like they have a 20 L price mark already set for the yeti. Someone, please post the pics of the new Safari.

Subjective opinion but it looks fairly decent and conservative IMO. I am sure it will sell well. Consumer may be divided almost the way Civic and Corolla have divided their customers.

Why no News from Tata & Mahindra Stalls ? None of the channels or Auto sites have any info.

csateesh · 5th January 2010, 13:52

Any updates on the eagerly awaited ETIOS specs, variants, engines etc?

What happened to IndiCruze and Tata Stall ? I was hoping to hear a lot from them..

If someone has any update pls do keep us posted.
