Frankfurt 2009

Next on the visit was Ford. The new Fiesta's interior was something different (see the last picture)

It was quite different from what we have seen from Ford.

The Fiesta, outside India, has always been a hatchback.

The Ka... nothing can beat its original design.

Next on the Visit was Ferari and Fiat.

Bravo was stunning. Hope Fiat launches it in India in Future.

Next on the List was Kia motors.

The soul model which was showcased here was really cool urban vehicle. The interiors were great.

Thnaks for your comments.

Next photos are from Hyundai. Hyundai theme was green vehicles. Almost all cars displayed had a LPG/Electric variant.

Good thing that they had a i10 Electric and it was made in India. (Photo's in next post).

Nice pictures Ram. I like that new Fiesta. Can you shed more light on the Punto EVO?

And yes More Ferrari pictures please

Ram_NP · 22nd September 2009, 22:37

Ferrai had only one model on Display and there was so much of crowd that it was difficult to take picture from other angles.

Punto Evo was good , but it was not radically different from the Grande Punto.

Here are some more pics of Punto Evo and then Prosche.

Here are the Pics of i10 Electric car (blue drive) shown by Hyundai, which was of course made in India.

The interiors were of cool blue and I wish Hyundai releases them as an option (interiors) in India.

Here are pics from Mercedes Stall.
Merc had one complete Hall (two floors) for it's cars and was most impressive display with laser lighting etc.

The crowd count was very high too.

Ram_NP · 23rd September 2009, 01:29

Rest of Pics from Mercedes & Maybach

Ram_NP · 23rd September 2009, 23:42

Continuing, here are the pics of Toyota.

I liked the Urban Crusier. It's nice city vehicle with good spacious interiors.

I hope Toyota replaces Innova with Verso sometime in furture.

Prius was theme car, showing the details of the motors, internal transmission etc.

Ram_NP · 24th September 2009, 00:50

Further pics of Toyota and Lexus.

How come india did not get its share of hatchback for Sx4 ? Why do these people go for different design or interior change when it comes to introducing the same car in international market ?
