The Bentley Continental GT is not like many of the other cars in the market that will take a lot of words for introduction.

BMW 3 Series 320d Corporate Edition – Brand New CE

Earlier the BMW 3 Series 320d Corporate Edition surely was not the vehicle for individuals; because of the fact that it was available only with fleet orders (minimum three cars should be bought). But now the Munich based manufacturer has decided to expand its reach among the corporate car buyers and hence has placed the 3 series CE for individual buying as well. So now is your chance to get the BMW 3 Series 320d Corporate Edition at a price that many of you might even not have imagined.

So, here’s the deal, the BMW 3 Series 320d Corporate Edition that I am talking about here is the no-frills edition of 3 Series Highline, and doesn’t have all those advanced and modern gadgets and gizmos that you generally associates with the CE version. The car doesn’t have a Sunroof, headlight washer and Xenon lights; the 6 CD changer has been replaced by a single CD player. In addition to this all this new CE doesn’t have Bluetooth interface for your phone, you won’t get wood trims and the company even has stopped the USB interface.

Peugeot 309 Diesel – Superb Car For Indian Customers

Indian car market definitely is not the best place to launch fast and expensive cars, and that’s a well known fact among the car makers all over the world. The simple reason for this is the fact that the majority of car buyers in India are budget minded customers and the street conditions here are not suitable for low riding high speed mean machines.  This is the reason why when the Peugeot 309 Diesel was launched in the market it didn’t got the responsive as was expected for the car. At the time of launch the Peugeot 309 Diesel was considered as an expensive car and a car that will speed up on highways.

But while other expensive and fast cars were failing to withstand the Indian driving conditions the Peugeot 309 Diesel stood tall and I must say that was one of the finest cars of that time. This is the reason why the car even now is in huge demand among the used car buyers in modern market. The thing that made this Peugeot 309 Diesel one of the finest cars of all time was the fact that despite possessing immense luxury and performance features the build quality of the car was not compromised here and the car had great build quality internally as well as externally.

The exteriors for the car were impeccably designed and the car had an eye-catching design which was sufficient to grab attention of any onlooker and at the same was sufficient to catch the attention of modern customers. The huge ground clearance of the Peugeot 309 Diesel gave it an aggressive look and at the same time makes it compatible with Indian driving conditions. So if you are looking for a fast car that is ideally suited to Indian driving condition then the Peugeot 309 Diesel definitely is a superb alternative worth considering.

ICML Rhino Rx Xciter CRDFi 9 Seater BS III


Utility vehicles are getting great success in Indian market, and the modern customers are largely attracted towards these models, and the ICML Rhino Rx Xciter CRDFi 9 Seater BS III is a fine example of this. If truth be told, I was eagerly waiting for the ICML Rhino Rx Xciter CRDFi 9 Seater BS III, and so I was quick enough to manage a test ride of it. But contradicting with my eagerness, the ride of Rhino Rx Xciter was rather dull, with almost no positives. So, it is worth saying that the Rhino Rx Xciter was not at all what I expected it too be.

As soon as you get inside the ICML Rhino Rx Xciter CRDFi 9 Seater BS III you will feel like you’ve stepped inside a luxurious taxi. The diesel engine under the hood of the car makes it presence felt as soon as you turn on the ignition, and as you put your accelerator you will feel the difference between this utility vehicle and other utility vehicles. The accelerator is a tad awkwardly placed and feels as if you are driving a tractor. The same is the case with steering wheel positioning as well, the steering is not at all comfortable to hold. This makes it uncomfortable during long ride, and considering the fact that this is a utility vehicle which is suppose to be taken on long rides, this is really bad feature.

The biggest disappointment came in the form of poor performance and considering the fact that the vehicle is a utility vehicle the poor ride quality of the vehicle is a real disappointment. Even the comfort level for the occupants has been compromised here. So in general the is just another bland utility vehicle intended for casual home buyers
