    Is the Hyundai Eon a better choice than the Maruti Wagon R?

    Hyundai has just launched its direct Alto rival, the Eon at a price range starting from Rs. 2.69 lakh.

        No, Wagon R is one of the largest selling cars in India, Eon doesn’t stand anywhere with Wagon R.

        first of all, eon being a 800cc car is compared with the wagonr who comes with the 1000cc engine…i don’t knw who is such a stupid or may be foolish enough to compare the cars just bcoz there prices matches..its quite obvio that a larger cc engine will come with more power…it’s understandable..it’s common-sense…

    July compact sedan sales: petrol variants take a hit

    Sales of the Etios fell by about 18% month-on-month to 4,095 cars in July because of the general slowdown in sales of petrol-only cars. The July sales trend in compact sedans is further evidence that diesels are gaining at the cost of petrol cars at a time when less people are buying cars.

        Old school design, antiquated features, this vehicle lacks the mass appeal but then the design of the safari is old school, Scorpio is also an oldie and the Innova is not an SUV.The competition is sure gearing up. Although expected it to have standard ABS, if not airbags.
