Mr.Venu, Fz-16 is an excellent choice.
Yamaha has'nt officially declared a launch date yet,
if they do,
it will all be right here at IAB.

Re: Confirmed- Hyundai i20 to hit showrooms next month

From what Hyundai said in October, the i20 should have been released by now!

The economic slump and auto-market slowdown has taken its toll on all automobile releases making them unpredictable, as all companies are on the defensive.

Considering the fact that Hyundai has already exported its first batch of i20's to Europe, I reckon that a Jan-Feb 2009 release is very likely.

Re: IAB Exclusive- Fiat Linea Test Drive

@psyamsunder
Now that the Fiat Linea is released, good old Octavia might well be forgotten. Linea is better looking and more fuel efficient than the Octavia. I certainly can't find a good reason as to why one should buy an Octavia these days.

Excellent piece of info Akshay!

Yes, the gear ratios are quite wrong and made worse by an underpowered engine, but i still do feel that it can manage urban traffic in crowded Indian cities(where its hard to cross 40kph!).

If anyone buys this car(diesel version), he either works for Fiat or has fallen for Linea's looks. It's very easy for one to get mesmerized by the looks of this car!
