My Top 5 Indian Cars

1) Fiat Palio 1.6 (Performance, looks and ride quality)
2) Honda City Vtech(old model) (Performance, Performance, Performance)
3) Maruti Zen (Cute, small in size , driver's car)
4) Ford Ikon 1.6 (Great performance, 1st good car from ford stable in India)
5) Skoda Octavia (Looks, performance, mileage)

My favs are:

1)Maruti 800( first car of family)
2)Ambassador (always liked it, I wanted to be a politician when I was 10 :P)
3) Tata Indica
4) Contessa (love its muscle car looks. Would loooooooove to mod it.
5) Premier Padmini

Scratching my head trying to come up with 5 Indian cars:confused:

Here they are in the order from 5~1
5. Tata Sumo - redefined people moving
4. Tata Indica Turbo - One of India's best hatches - satisfies (not maximises) what many people need
3. Tata Safari DiCor - Not a great fan, but felt it needed to be on the list
2. Tata Indigo Marina - I known this was penned by some italians, but the guys making it are indians. More power to Tata's for this one.
1. Mahindra Scorpio CRDe - There are so many issues I have with this, but when I think about it, it is only because it is that much closer to perfect.

Disclaimer: I neither own nor drive any of the above.

1. Honda City vtec(old) - road warrior.
2.Santro Xing - the best all round hatchback in terms of performance and economy.
3. Skoda Octavia RS - The sweet turbo charged engine sound says it all...a sports car which we all can dream of.
4. Mahnidra Classic Jeep - No other vehicle commands so much of road presence as a black rooftop CJ3B with sexy alloys.

Honda Civic - Looks excellent and a new approach to design
Chevrolet Optra - Excells in Ride and Build Quality
Swift VDi - Excellent engine and the torque is addictive

Safari 2.2(6 months after launch when initial glitches are solved by customers R&D :p)
