I know looks are subjective but what do you think about the design of the new BMW 7-Series? Not many in India seems to like the styling of this limo!

Rs. 1.14 crores (OTR, Mumbai) for the Lexus RX 350h, would you buy it over the BMW X5? This car is a hybrid - very smooth, refined & efficient too! Looks good, drives well, dynamics are neutral & has decent kit too. Being a Lexus, reliability & ease of maintenance is a given!!!

Name a better driver's car? You simply can't coz the Porsche 911 GT3 RS offers ultimate handling & dynamics that no other road going car can match! It costs Rs. 12 lakhs less than the Turbo S which is obviously a lot faster but the 4.0L NA flat-6 engine redlines at 9000 RPM!

How many fans of this classic Volkswagen? One of the most iconic retro cars (after the Beetle), the VW van has its own charm & has a massive fan following too! This one is in mint condition and drives really well too.

Audi has just unveiled the new Q6 e-tron which has a new-age platform for better range, performance & packaging. This electric car has a lovely interior & a lot of tech including the world's first digital light signatures (8 of them)! This SQ6 produces 510 HP & it's coming here!

With a price cut of Rs. 5 lakhs, the Land Rover Discovery Sport costs Rs. 82 lakhs & seems like a good option in the segment as it's Rs. 8 lakhs cheaper than the Mercedes GLC & Rs. 5.5 lakhs cheaper than the BMW X3. If you had to buy a car for Rs. 85 lakhs, which 1 would it be?

The new 5-Series has a polarising design & it does look like a bigger 2-Series! Interior is lovely though as it's very 7-Series inside! The drive is smooth & the handling is good too but why is BMW losing its design edge? LWB of this 5-Series will go on sale in India by year-end

The Evoque is a very stylish car but not very practical due to its size! In developed countries, people do value its compactness but in India, a car's value is measured by its dimensions. That said, the baby Range Rover is very desirable but costs the same as a Discovery Sport!

Missing the Honda Civic, I think there is no better sedan than the Civic as it's very reliable, offers good performance, handles really well & is just a no-nonsense sedan that's also quite desirable!

4th gen Swift is priced between Rs. 7.67 - 11.62 lakhs (OTR, Mumbai), it's much more expensive now but changes aren't drastic! Lot more was expected but focus seems to be on efficiency where the new Swift excels! Lacks features of Baleno (costs Rs. 8000/- more) but handles well!

Mahindra has loaded the XUV 3XO with a ton of features (it has things which even the flagship Mahindra SUVs lack) because the Tata Nexon is selling very well. But do you like the design of this car? Do you think it will beat the Nexon in sales?

I had a glimpse of the Curvv's design process at Tata Motors' Design Centre in the UK & realised that the company is putting a lot of emphasis on the design of its cars. While I am not a big fan of family design language, Tata Motors is following it with all their cars (except

The X-Trail has been launched at an on-road price of Rs. 60 lakhs, what Nissan is trying to do in India is just comical! Anyone with a little sense of the Indian car market knows that you don't price your car anywhere close to the Fortuner & at this price, no one is going to buy!

Rs. 1.31 crores (OTR) is the cost of new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupé & yes they have downsized the engine by 2-cylinders yet it makes more power (+31 HP at 421 HP) but less torque (-20 Nm at 500 Nm). 0-100 km/hr in 4.8 seconds, lovely interior, doesn't sound as good as the old one!

Mahindra has played a master-stroke with the Thar Roxx - this car is very well equipped & quite desirable, it is sure to eat into sales of pseudo SUVs which are FWD! 5-door Thar is sure to become a top-seller for Mahindra & could also dominate the Rs. 15-25 lakh segment!
