10 cars we need in India
1. Mazda RX-8- How many times have you driven a 1300cc naturally aspirated (non turboed or supercharged) engine that makes 280 horses? Especially one that has one numerous car of the year awards in 2600cc category? Yes, that is precisely why we need the RX-8. Also, the stringent regulations and the fact that Mazda is the only Wankel car maker has led to its death in 2012.
PS: Rx-8 is indeed a coupe sports car but comes with rear suicide doors for easy ingress and egress to the rear seats. It also comes with a 300w Bose sound system for the sound connoisseurs.
2. Mazda Mx-5: If aliens ever did provide us with technology for automobile evolution, this would be it. Famously called the 'Miata'. It meets the 4000 mm regulation for tax exemptions and to perfectly fit those jam packed cities. The car is as much fun to drive in the city as a Lamborghini Gallardo or Ferrari Scaglietti would be on the track. Other Japanese makers tried to compete with the Toyota MR2 and Honda S2000 but nothing has yet survived this car's smiley face onslaught. This topless car competes for attention at the beach too.
PS: Even in such tight and nimble clothing, the MX-5 got 4 star safety rating. The latest MX-5 concept 'Superlight' has been so true to the name, it also lacks a windshield.
3. Scion IQ-Before you notice the car which in itself is an eyeball magnet, it's the brand name. Toyota's answer for the North American burger fat bellied, IQ lacking, Beer thirsty youth. The IQ is small by US starndards but suits perfectly in India. I am not handing out Ferrero Rocher balls for guessing that the IQ here stands for Intelligent Quotient. The sub 3 metre car is something I would definitely purchase for my daily office commute over Tata Nano and Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Eon and also bigger cars like Maruti Suzuki A-Star, Hyundai i10, Chevrolet Beat, Maruti Suzuki WagonR, Nissan Micra and Ford Figo. The car also has numerous customization possibilities which Toyota is exploiting in the Japanese market.
PS: The car has nine airbags, vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist and electronic brake distribution.
4. Cadillac SRX- I am a fan of big cars. I drive Jap cars but still the lure of mammoth cars with mammoth engines wets my mouth. But SUV's are not my forte. But it is hard not to love the SRX with its 3.6 V6 engine and that Cadillac grille shouting 'I am the king of bling-bling'. Crossovers are the latest trend and SRX is the king of that trend whether it be style, features, interiors or plain sex appeal. Finally something Scarlett Johansson can use to look more deadly and American.
PS: GM had to cease production of a smaller engine option due to lack of sales. That's when the 3.6 V6 was launched to accompany the 3.0 naturally aspirated model option.
5. Cadillac CTS: If I have to glance at a BMW 6 series, Audi A5 or Mercedes-Benz E-class coupe, my eyeballs will stick at te CTS. We need the CTS because because we yawn everytime seeing the same old Audis, BMW's and mercedes- Benz's filling the road. Also, we need a car with so much bling it shines as bright as the sun and still manages to look like a thousand bucks.
PS: The CTS Coupe will be Cadillac's first coupe since the Eldorado, which was discontinued in 2002.
6. Dodge Challenger : I have mentioned this before and I will mention it again and again. I love Mammoth cars with mammoth engines. No wonder Dodge Challenger tops my list of dream cars. But it is also here because its the last of the species of big cars with big engines and because Camaro and Mustang are already too modern for our liking. Also because it can win us a war against the aliens. Give me one and I promise to eradicate the Richshaw infestation in India.
PS: This is the one and only car I dare buy in Furious Fuchsia pink or Plum Crazy Purple.
7. Holden Commodore: I won't repeat how I like Mammoth cars with Mammoth engines coz they look like the Dodge Challenger pictured above and Dodge Charger pictured below. But Indian families are huge and live-in relationships are taboo (I hate this world). But worry not my wedding loving friends. GM has just the right car for you. They have taken a mammoth car, put in a mammoth engine and slapped four doors on it to carry the whole family in comfort and provide you with adrenaline when you sneak out on that wild Saturday night. The car gave sleepless nights to BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz in the guise of Pontiac G8 in the USA. Also, with four doors slapped on, the car looks ready to maul you if you try to sneak even a little further on the start line. No cheating!!!
PS: Holden Commodore is actually manufactured in Australia.
7. Dodge Charger: Since Dodge Charger ties with Holden Commodore I will have to repeat how I like Mammoth cars with Mammoth engines coz they look like the Dodge Challenger and Pontiac G8 aka Holden Commodore pictured above. You don't need a beer belly, small glasses and a huge mustache to scare children anymore. Park one of these and you are safe for life. My particular favorite is the Super Bee edition complete with the yellow paint and Black stripe and a matching Hemi engine to go with it. Imagine driving a yellow car on a hot summer day in Ahmedabad...
PS: If you see a black Dodge Charger, Slow down. It's that evil cops favouraite car these days.
8. I-miev: We only have one Harvinder Singh to slap all the corrupt politicians. So nothing can stop fuel quality to drop and prices to rise. At a time like this, our only hope is this car. The Mitsubishi I-MIEV. is sexy, small, sexy, electric and sexy. Did I say it looks sexy? The car is already sold in a dozen countries worldwide to keep the purchasing costs down and save the company's Indian operations. Famous editions include the 'Hello Kitty'(no pink for me this time please) and 'i-play'(ipod special edition).
PS:The U.S. version of the 'I-MIEV' has been enlarged to accomodate the fat American youth and the name has been shortened so the company officials do not waste time trying to explain the meaning of the moniker.
9. Citroen DS3: Thanks to our leaders like Sharad Pawar, the roads in our country resemble his face. Most cars due to this reason, are high on maintainence and the ride is bumpy. Enter Citroes DS3, the car that dons French Attire, French Etiquette, French poise and French performance. Citroen has perfected it after years of experience in the rally races. A perfect car for India
PS: The car is named DS which is French for goddess.
10. Alfa Romeo Brera: If you think the cars pictured above were beautiful, welcome to automotive porn. Here is a car which will wet every common man's pants with desire. Alfarotica will be inducted in the Oxford Dictionary soon. Alfa Romeo's are expensive to maintain they say. Well, Luxury can never be afffordable, I say. Period...
PS: Croation Car of the year 2006, Autocar best design award 2006, European Automotive design award 2006, Best Sports/Coupe - What Diesel Car?, European Car of the Year 2007 in Japan, 'Best of the show' at Geneva Motor Show 2005, Challenge Bibendum 2002 award, "the Most Fascinating Car" award at the Super Car Rally 2002. Nuff said. Now bow down and pay respect to the goddess of Alfarotica.
