After Tata Motor's petition in the High court of Kolkata got rejected on 22 June 2011, Tata Motors approached Supreme court of India against Bengal Govt. took back the Tata Motor's Singur Plant land from it. After Mamata Banarjee came into power in the state, a new legislation was passed to take back the land from Tata Motors and re-distribute it to the farmers.

The winners of the Ypres Rally (the most remote IRC event this season) and the current IRC leaders Freddy Loix & Frederic Miclott are going to drive for Skoda Motorsport (factory team) at Rally Bohemia. Taking place in the surroundings of Mlada Boleslav, the upcoming event will not see Skoda Motorsport’s Kopecky & Stary this time due to an injury Stary suffered in the shakedown before the Ypres Rally in Belgium last week.

Force Motors SUV Force One Spy Pictures From Road Testing

Posted: 29 Jun 2011 12:25 AM PDT


Lately there was a news which reportedly said that the much anticipated Force Motors SUV, which earlier had no name, has ben named as Force One. The interest for the car lies in the fact that it will be an affordable SUV and will go against some of the biggest rulers of the segment, Tata Safari, Mahindra Scorpio etc. A member from the very renowned Team-BHP forum got his hands on the new Force One while it was on a test run around the city of Mumbai in a camouflage. The car looks very much similar to the Force Explorer and is really huge which  means that road presence would not be an issue for this car. The shape and the overall design looks pretty much fine but the size is a concern we believe. The car is too big and could be compared to Toyota Fortuner in dimensions. Pricing again has to be well below Rs. 12 Lakh as it's the same band where Safari and Scorpio fall and if it exceeds the expected price, the response from the market might get dull. l Speculations about the engine say that a 2.2 Liter one will power the car but [...]

Three 250CC-400CC Hyosung Superbikes To Launch In India In 2012

Posted: 28 Jun 2011 12:00 AM PDT


Hyosung has already stepped into the superbike segment with a sport bike Hyosung 650R and a cruiser Hyosung ST7. Considering the price band in which these bikes fall, there is no competition for them since being 650CC machines, they have been priced appreciably low. In the coming year 2012, Garware-Hyosung is planning to introduce three more superbikes into the superbike segment. Importantly, this time the bikes will have less powerful engines, probably in the displacement range of 250CC-400CC. The very first 250CC motorcycle from the brand is expected to be the Hyosung GT250R, a less capacity version of its elder brother 650R. The above 250R is the most anticipated one as the market does demand cheap sports bike which fit in buyers' pocket and yet manages to draw a lot of attention.
