There is a possibility of the MFA platform to give rise to a compact sedan along the lines of the Ford Fiesta. There is a good chance of this model being marked for developing nations with compact and highly efficient petrol and diesel engines.
Apart from the regular 5-door hatchback, there could be a 3-door bodystyle on the next generation A-Class. A mini crossover, convertible and a station wagon [...]

How to overload a truck and abide the law?
Overloading trucks is banned due to safety reasons. Piling the goods beyond what the truck can handle leads to poor braking, tire bursts and unpredictable handling. In the interest of safety, the manufacturer’s payload rating has to be respected, but what if you are desperate to get that little bit more from your truck?
Easy – Increase the payload!
As [...]

Look at it, admire it, but know you are wrong if you assume there’s a 16-cylinder 1000hp quad-turbo under the bodywork.
This isn’t a Bugatti Veyron, if you’re wondering. It’s a Mercury Cougar wearing what looks like the Veyron’s clothes. Mercury is an extinct brand that used to sell rebadged and reengineered sedans and SUVs from Ford’s portfolio.
The Cougatti is [...]

It is pretty crazy how super obsessed enthusiasts (or in some cases wannabees) who cannot afford to buy the world’s fastest car- the Bugatti Veyron, choose to buy a cheaper sports car and then convert it into a Veyron. Last time we showed you a BMW 6 series that had been restyled to look like a Veyron & this time it is a Porsche Boxster!
Unlike the Bimmer, this replica has been done very well. [...]

The Hyundai Azera has been a car that we have been watching since ages. Right from prototype testing to some spyshots, we have brought everything to you. This time we have brought the interior shots of the car and we must say the Koreans are getting their act together.
This is one the best interiors (leave alone the best of Hyundai) we have seen in an mid-size sedan.
The present Azera is slightly wider [...]

The Wagon R, a sort of a love child between a box and a car, has strangely been a favorite car of the Japanese customers. Partly, because it has a Suzuki badge and partly because it has tones of space in it. Also, if you are 6 foot odd, it is very difficult to get into other hatches in the same segment.
It’s next best selling marker has been India where Maruti Suzuki too has been very committed [...]
