By -

India has evolved into an advantageous destination for most of the world’s luxury car manufacturers. General Motors India with its Chevrolet brand sells automobiles such as Captiva, Cruze, Beat etc. and is now contemplating to step on the accelerator by bringing in its iconic Cadillac brand to India by 2013.The Cadillac CTS Coupe would be one of the initial to be introduced cars in the Indian Automobile Market.

Cadillac CTS is what Cadillac entitles as an entry-level luxury division car, and is envisaged as the machine that would take on the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, though dimensionally it is bigger than both.  The Cadillac CTS has the most impressive interpretation of Cadillac’s ‘Art & Science’ design language till date, and from each and every angle it advances as a futuristic concept vehicle rather than an existing production model with its metallic exterior with ebony interior. One of the impressive design features of the Cadillac CTS is its angular rear-end with boomerang-shaped spoiler and center-exit exhaust. Other overwhelming artwork elements include the frame-less doors and the nice lower sill extensions.

The Cadillac CTS would available in a single design coupe trim and its price is expected to be around INR 45-50 lakhs.

This engine can deliver power of 263bhp at 6400rpm along with peak torque of 343Nm at 3100rpm. The Cadillac CTS can seat 5 individuals comfortably and has a boot space of 385 liters.

As a true-blood American car, the Cadillac CTS's mileage is modest. The car is expected to deliver 6kmpl in the city and 10kmpl mileage on the highway.

Exterior Appearance of the Cadillac CTS

The Cadillac CTS features a pair of Corvette-style buttons that bestows the vehicle a lustrous, cutting presentation when looking down the belt-line. Also, the car comes with a new backside design that makes the Coupe look as if the roof is reaching back and pulling the rear-end inward from the tail lamps by way of the massive C-pillars, giving the roofline an amazingly sharp angle, thus forming a total modern take on the fastback look.

Interior Appearance of the Cadillac CTS

The Cadillac CTS interiors are designed to complete its elegant design. The car has an air conditioner with climate control feature, power windows, remote central locking, remote fuel-filler and boot. The driver’s seat can be electrically adjusted.

All new Ambassador makeover by Hindustan Motors in 2012 .

Sixty years back, the word ‘car’ in India literally meant the Ambassador for most Indians. A lot has changed since then, with horde of automobile manufacturers active in the Indian market, sales figures for Hindustan Motors have hit an all time low 5,510 units in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year. Over the years, it has been the Indian political class that has been keeping Hindustan Motors rolling. The latest blow to Hindustan motors came from the Govt. of India itself, which replaced the Ambassador with cars like the  Maruti SX4  and the  Tata Indigo CS considering safety and performance issues. The next-gen Ambassador will feature structural, aerodynamic and aesthetical chages. Changes on board the 2012 Ambassador include new engine calibrations, an anti-lock brake system and aluminium alloy wheels. For comfort, there will be new leather seats coupled with wood grain interiors. For the first time, there will also be an integrated music system and redesigne...

Force One to get 4x4 in mid-2012

Force Motors, which launched its first SUV, Force One, last August will launch a new 4x4 version and a variant equipped with ABS by mid-2012. The new 4X4 was displayed at the Auto Expo last month. At the launch, the company had indicated its intentions to offer more features in the SUV at a later stage. These features have made it to the SUV, but the company has been tight-lipped about launch date  and price tag. The 4x4 variant will continue to be powered by the FM-Tech 2.2-litre common-rail turbo-diesel motor that develops 139bhp and 32.6kgm of torque. It will be offered with a five-speed manual gearbox as is the case with the 4x2 version. There will be no visual changes to  differentiate the 4x4 from its 4x2 sibling, except for  the badge. We expect the ABS-equipped 4x4 version to  cost at least Rs 1 lakh more than the 4x2 variant, which costs Rs 10.65 lakh (ex-showroom,  Delhi).

Maruti 800 replacement coming soon.

Authentic Cars  broke the news on the upcoming Maruti 800 way back in July last year   and now we bring you more info on the car that will finally replace the venerable Maruti 800.  This new car, to be called the Alto 800 (codename: YE3), is based on the Alto, but with significant modifications done to make it cheaper. Not to be confused with the Alto sold in Japan, the new Alto 800 is based on the current generation Alto (YG4) but with a new body and interior. As seen in the pictures, the design is rather basic but there is more than a passing resemblance to the Japanese Alto, especially from the front. The nose gets high-mounted headlights, a slim, slot-like grille and there is a huge secondary air-inlet opening above and below the bumper. The styling is in line with the current-generation Suzukis, and details like the slanting window-line point to an aggressive tip-forward stance. Also, there is a prominent character-line that runs on the sides, right from the head...
