With diesel becoming the drink of preference, it’s no wonder diesel versions of popular cars are flooding the market. Now much more refined, almost as powerful, as fast as petrol cars and much more fuel efficient, common-rail technology has given diesels a new lease of life.
After the Swift Diesel, here’s another popular car that is getting the diesel treatment. The Optra Diesel is all set to join the now not-so-exclusive common-rail club. Powered by a 1991cc TDCi engine (Chevy speak for common-rail) churning out 120bhp and 28kgm of torque, it should be quite a scorcher. More

Chevrolet moves to a new Beat.
Published May 11th, 2007 in Chevrolet India and General motors India. 0 CommentsChevrolet’s small car at the distant New York Auto Show didn’t garner much attention in the general India media, but it should have.
Take a close look at the lines and overall form of the design. These are styling cues that Chevrolet and General motors(GM) are going to base their new small car, codenamed the M300, on. A successor to the M100 Matiz and M200 Spark, the all-new M300 is a clean sheet design that will sit bang in the middle of General motors(GM)’s triad of small cars sold in India. More expensive than the Spark but cheaper than the U-VA, the car will be the first to be produced at General motors(GM)’s all-new plant in Talegaon, near Pune.
General motors(GM) has big plans for the Beat and its derivatives in India. Designed to be small and efficient but not boring and staid, the car is meant to deliver a custom feel to the owner. The look is tagged ‘micro import tuner’, after the modified small hatchbacks that are so popular in the US at the moment. Styled at General motors(GM)’s Incheon design centre in South Korea, the company’s specialists in small car design, the look is radical for a small car. More

All it needs is a little Chevrolet Spark
Published April 30th, 2007 in Chevrolet India, Car Money and General motors India. 0 CommentsIf there was somebody in the automotive industry who knew how to spend money well, it would be Kim Woo Choong, the erstwhile chairman of the Daewoo group. It’s another thing that he spent money a little too well, ending up on the wrong side of the law and leading one of South Korea’s biggest chaebols to ruin. Kim’s profligate ways however benefited the biggest carmaker in the universe, General Motors, when they picked up the Daewoo car business.
Today, General Motors-Daewoo Automotive Technologies is providing the biggest support to mothership General Motors with a lineup of well thought-out cars at a time when the General is going through some difficult times. One of the cars that was particularly a windfall for General Motors was the Daewoo Matiz – you see, General Motors is not exactly a specialist in making small runabouts, and with the Daewoo Matiz, they ended up with a well-engineered supermini that showcased cheeky Italian lines and one which was a hit in most markets it was sold in. General Motors-Daewoo Automotive Technologies gave the Daewoo Matiz a thorough facelift inside-out, replaced the three-cylinder motor with an inline-four, stuck the Chevrolet bowtie at various spots and renamed it the Spark. In this guise, the Spark is now sold in over a 100 countries, including our own. So how is new Spark? Is it a Daewoo deja vu or does it need to be seen as a fresh, all-new product? Read on. More
