no version of indiachan were enthusiastic about automotive. Whys that? because average anon is home dwelling autist? Anyway really feel sad about the situation of automotive in india. We have absolutely nothing. Sure we have few things like new scorpioN but its not m340i which by the way attracts 40+20% tax because boomer thinks protectionism is the way to grow home market. The 2w home market thrived despite having so tiny amount of protectionism. So, boomer retards should think about how less protectionism would effect the 4w market than just being NPCs. I just want to drive a miata man. Mahindra has an engine that feels alive and responsive. The 2.0L petrol mStallion. They just need to develop a chassis. Put some seats in it and sell it for <20 lkhs. Having driven the new scorpioN, i say mahindra is capable of developing good chassis. It would be indias first true enthusiast car Thank you for reading my blog. You patience was appreciated.
>>5352 this is such a low quality thread, could have easily been a reply to the random thread also, this is not your designated blogging street. why are indian retards so antithetical to anonymous/imageboard culture?
>>5353 so you have problem with me killing such thread if i could reach you id pull your gut out for being a massive faggot
>>5354 >killing early spam with more low quality garbage sounds real good, retard
>>5355 You sound underage and calling 'this' an 'early' you prolly are
>>5352 >no version of indiachan were enthusiastic about automotive. Whys that? because average anon is home dwelling autist? Because the average income vs. the fucking taxrate of India/BD for automobiles makes them inaccessible for 99.9% of the pop. Cars are too expensive of a hobby. Besides, public infra is good enough to make cars redundant in almost all places.
>>5352 People aren't really that enthusiastic about vehicles More than half the driving population doesn't know how to drive properly Indiachan was/is a subset of people America is the best country to be born in if you want to enjoy cars Europe and Japan probably follow up close by India even if you buy a fast car where are you going to drive it we have barely any tracks, we have like 5-6 race tracks in the entire country I think. Highways are boring to drive on, anyone can drive fast in a straight line That's where people find their comfort zone, zig zagging through traffic, calling themselves enthusiasts, bragging about their skills If something that resembles a sports car is ever launched at affordable prices it is going to meet the exact same fate as the KTM bikes, chhapris are going to do chhapri things on it, only this time more innocent people will die You talk about the mStallion, good idea, there are a lot of combinations that would have worked well but nobody attempted them. You don't realise it but a car is a big luxury in our country Though I can't say I have ever met a car owner who doesn't like driving You probably had a car at home since before birth or very shortly after I would like to see an actual sports type car but I really don't want to get crashed into by one, people are retarded and cannot drive and have misplaced notions of what to do with those "enthusiast" vehicles. If something like this is launched I hope they price it so most people would buy a creta instead The closest thing you can get to an enthusiast car at ~20L is probably the Polo GTI, ik it's fwd but what can you do I don't even want displacement or power, just make something low to the ground and rwd/awd The cappuccino has a 600 cc turbo engine, they could do something like that >They just need to develop a chassis. Put some seats in it and sell it for <20 lkhs. I used to think this way in school, but launching a new car is not a small thing to do, you definitely can't use the adverb (adjective?) "just" before it You have to test it extensively, get permits, set up supply chains etc etc you're out 10s maybe 100s of crores by the time you end up with even a prototype that you believe works well, even is it's "just" developing a chassis, and you take like 5 years to do it too, at least Mahindra especially has taken a bunch of Ls with their recent launches, no one bought the marazzo and their other new cars sans the Scorpio and the XUVs No one wants to take that risk, but one day they will, and it will open up a new market Until then Alto me petrol daalo aur chalate raho >>5358 I wish we had really really good public transport. I like driving cars and riding bikes but I don't like to commute. it would be better to use vehicles for weekend joyrides instead of commuting in them sitting in traffic for hours.
>>5352 I am not a fan of automobiles. They are the machines cities choke on. Netherlands model ftw.
(2.13 MB 636x360 porsche_vs_greta.mp4)

>>5358 I have heard its even worse in bdesh. Its 400% its all so fucking grim. But there isnt any hobby that give you any close dopamine, excitement, feels than automotive >>5361 i use public transportation or motorcycle in the city. Automobile is an hobby because it feels good to drive. Im sure if you drive a good car, youll caught up with it. For eg. honda city vtec type 2 of year 2000 >>5360 well in the years 2024 the situation of road infra isnt as dire as it was in 2009. You can open half liter 2w about 60% of your road trip that includes back roads. The chapris have their zens, maruti 800 but people being able to afford second car costing 20lkhs may not be as chapri as ktm dukkers mStallion is mahindra home grown engine so they can save lot of cost unlike tata that buys fiat engine and it also demonstrate their capabilities and the fact that such project will be easiest for them out of other domestic companies. Inch anons may have been a single subset of people but if given option the average jeet would pick the comfort over enthusiasm but i blame it on not having access to good driving vehicles because while buying second car, the though of how does it drive crosses the poor man's mind at least ones. I have seen it. Akshully, ignis drives good too. The enthusiasts car dont have to be all mighty always. Just like the new improved chassis of duke 390 offers better feel than many that comes above or how classic 350 is such a sweet ride with its not overwhelming and sweet tune and chassis which not only agile but also transfers the road feel despite being dogshit slow Yeh you can not put a 'just' before car development. But for mahindra it maybe easier than we might think because already having all the facilities one would want including owns racetrack, all they may need is small team. They could always copy the miata and work around its patent. There have been many instances in automotive history where 'just' have worked. But for mahindra its easier than 'just' of shed car project. Projects like marazzo, xuv300 and some may have been a disaster but scorpioN sold close to 70k units and xuv700 sold about 150k units just last year both of whose average price is 20lkhs. So, the situation is not as dire
>>5361 +1 to this. Being this dependent on oil rather than learning to do city planning is the dumbest thing. East German commies got city planning right. Car faggotry is just added tax by government onto the public. >>5352 >>5358 >>5360 I like motorcycles, 2 wheels, lot of kms per litre, easy to repair, etc. Cars are expensive to maintain, insurance, parking , dependence on petrol etc. Hate dealing with traffic cops trying to get money from me. I hate petrol price fluctuations and dependence. I couldn't care less what car fags want to do. But auto-mobile fags drive their vehicle anywhere and everywhere. Pedestrian roads occupied by bikes and now Maruti's (whatever the new 800 is called). Driving rules in India are whatever everyone is doing. A fucking hive mind of lowest IQ in the crowd. See how many people die of road accidents in India. Simply, driving to and fro for work is added stress on a person. Driving for the sake of fun is niche. Mostly we don't have roads for it. When we do, other drivers make sure we cannot enjoy it. If ever I could buy a dream car, this would be it https://wiesmann.com/pages/homepage But I wouldn't. I will stick to two wheels and pay for delivery of goods to my house.
>>5363 I drove the XUV500 and 700, excellent cars, though 700 is overpriced. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=KV51udbBj-w Check out this channel and keep your eye on the speed FAAAAK. 8ch not letting me upload images related to previous post.
AS LONG AS MAJORITY OF ENDIANS DRIVE LIKE PICREL,I WILL KEEP OPPOSING CAR FAGS.
>>5364 I hope that synthetic fuel catches up. Currently it costs ₹800 per litre but porsche is confident they can make it cheap by 2030 (picrel) after endless thinking about 2w vs 4w, i came to the conclusion that one cant replace the other.
>>5371 Yeah. 2W vs 4W is pointless. My issue with cars is the general disregard drivers have for everyone else. Have been almost run over multiple times, twice when I was nowhere near the road. The other issue is cost of ownership. But in any decently big city (even tier 3) car ownership is more or less compulsory. I agree with other anon though. Big cities need Netherland kind of planning. Towns and tier 3 will still need 2 and 4w's. Synthetic fuel I will look into, looks very interesting. Thanks.

the shitbox ive been ignoring drives really good in fact really good if any of youse want a cheap family car, consider Tata Altroz first. Bonus for iturbo edition No seriously do drive one if you doubt
>>5352 or maybe an avg. inch dweller can't afford a good car ,leave inch dweller even an avg. indian except ulta rich can't afford a good sports car ,we all just drive the same shitty run of the mill cars that cater to indian middle class (tata,mahindra,suzuki,hyundai) in bumper to bumper traffic on a road filled with potholes ,it's just india kills your enthusiasm about anything pretty fast ,the bans on customisation ,zero DIY culture ,zero places to explore and no matter how far you think you are from civilisation in india some mf always jump out from bushes to say "HI buddy ,what are you doin here ?"
>>5515 I know your point and given the boujie direction of your thread, I see it too. But I don't agree with it. This post gets it >>5515 a. Hobby is not about having the best and greatest. I have driven expensive cars and bikes. Best memories on an old Splendor that still brings tears to my eyes. b. Best cars/bikes to own in India are cheaper ones. They give you good mileage, very important for long trips. They are easy to get repaired, (also very important) and they don't make you a target (also very important). Owning expensive vehicles is not fun, unless you have a servant to go get repairs done and don't care about money. More importantly, attention kills the fun. Good road trip involves maybe good company, more importantly, you enjoy your vehicle and you learn how to use it well. You cannot do that on a vehicle that is too expensive and you are worried about getting it dirty or scratched. If you drive to Ladakh in a sports car, firstly it is a bad idea. Secondly, it becomes about owning the car and not really about the drive or the location or the experience. > InCh tard is gareeb And that is fine anon.
>>5518 you wouldnt believe but tata altroz, mahindra scorpioN, hyndai i20, shitzuki swift and baleno drive fine. Personally I dont like the shitzuki, both to drive and to look at the material but they are nice. You can always stage 2 them for more power. In city I use public transport or motorbike because that make sense and the average common man mostly use their 2-3 times intercity and once in a while on long trip because petrol is costly. So, majority of owners arent facing bumper to bumper traffic. The situation of roads arent as grim as they used to be really. I go on trips and I can drive without worrying anything. I live in MH but having seen north indian bike tours on youtube, I say that 'surprised motherfucker' is fairly common occurrence

i forgot rwd thar triumphs over them all currently funny but without 4x4 or 4x2 drivetrain, its lighter by 150kg so it becomes sporty thing even with 120hp diesel although i might just stick with bikes, every car feels compromise in some way wished i lived in west. Would have bought miata or c5 vette
>>5534 It's slightly less worse then pooran's inch >>5529 >>5525 Good takes Love cars not the brand I would rather go out and drive an Alto to some rural backroad than argue Tata vs Volkswagen on reddit or YouTube. (ofc i like productive discussion. it's just no fun when you turn vehicles into brand wars or treat it like consumerist bullshit like smartphones.)
>>5539 >>5541 Travelling in North east with very few garages and next to no parts for anything good, you quickly appreciate an Alto or a Pulsar so much. The easy repair from every mechanic and retro fitting non standard parts is so good when you need it. > Driving in western nation Its cucked. They are soon making it compulsory to have chips in all cars to have automatic speed limits. It is facing criticism in Germany atm but of-course, the current govt wants to shove it down peoples throats.
xpulse 200 4v cheap dualsport good than previously though would buy over new himalayan 450 but without the rally kit

>>5794 >classic >new Royal Bhangfield fans will do anything to defend their fanboyism
>>5808 Classic is the name of the model, that is still being made.
>>5810 I like the idea of keeping the old model going with tweaks and improvements a lot. Are there any other good cruisers below 2-3 lakhs with decent mileage ? Unlike popular belief mileage matters a lot on long trips when you are not sure where the next petrol pump could be. Unrelated but Germany increased driver licence charges to 3000+ Euros (27000 Rs). Impossible to own a car and save money now. Parking charges for SUVs are impossibly high now

Reckon the Ferrari still has the spirit. Though it was gone with twin turbo v6 296. Tho, still good car but certainly doesn't have charm of F355
I had planned to rent an audi and drive it around in South-Africa, that did not work out and in retrospect was wishful. Kidnappings and extortion of foreigners is way more common in SA than anyone expected. Instead, I ended up in Mauritius on company money, so rented an old Mercedes (sadly digital era, automatic not mannual). This was my first automatic car and it was fun. The car was smooth as butter, under 150 kmph, you don't feel the speed at all and if the car was maintained better, I wouldn't feel it above either. I just cruised on empty roads through fields without any music and got my head cleared. It has been years, since I have driven like that in flow state.I had missed this terribly. It was short but nice, given the country is small, I just did a few laps around the coastline roads and then stopped. Driving in Germany is too expensive and many times not fun due to hidden speed cams that fine you. Back in India, it is impossible to drive in flow state or high speeds, there are scamsters lying on the road everywhere, dying to get hit and extract money.
>>6636 You have some nerve going around touring in SA, I once saw a video where there came this Land Rover in what looked like a rich neighborhood, stopped for a few seconds, put it in reverse and absolutely floored it. Iirc some guys turned up on foot after that. It was unexplainable. Then I went into the comments and people said it was South Africa and the rule there is that if you find a stranger car parked in front of your house, there are robbers in there and you have to get out ASAP Then there was that video of a truck driver being shot at with automatic rifles and while he took evasive action he looked very calm, far from the first time that happened to him and it actually looked like he was expecting it. Driving feels like a chore these days, used to be i was eager to drive a car every opportunity I got. would go for long drives all the time. Highway driving is boring as shit so id go off onto the highway and then look for interesting, smaller roads to turn onto, rinse and repeat till I ended up in the middle of nowhere. Fun.
>>6636 >Back in India, it is impossible to drive in flow state or high speeds I do 60-80 on highways, very comfy speed. From what I understand, flow state is driving subconsciously. Tbh I drive like that all the time. It's very comfortable and calm. I do rev matching and engine braking all the time. Sure I don't leave overtaking and lane changing decisions to the subconscious but it's easy enough
>>6641 Well, not my idea. My boss is desperate for a win. I went along just to see her fave and rub it in that I was right. But it was worst than expected. I suspect that we were followed right from the airport itself and the hotel we had booked was somehow involved. I had made some alternate arrangements, just in case and we ended up using that exactly. The country is not in a good place right now at all. > Highway driving is boring as shit so id go off onto the highway and then look for interesting, smaller roads to turn onto, rinse and repeat till I ended up in the middle of nowhere. Fun Yeah. It has to challenging enough to keep brain engaged at a base level. I used to do the same, but on a motorcycle it is more engaging. > Tbh I drive like that all the time Most of what I did was city driving, which means gear 1, brake, gear 2, back to gear 1 etc. Wait for mess of scooties to sort itself. Drive again etc. Brake hard to prevent aunty on scooter from dying, get abused from her etc. I know eventually you de sensitize from all this and just react, like an animal running in the jungle, but I am not desensitized right now. I feel it all.
>>6647 >city driving This just means driving from one speed breaker to the next one 100m away. i encounter like a dozen of them every day. They are not made because people overspeed, but to appease people coming from adjoining roads who do not have the common sense of stopping and looking before going joining the road. They would rather die than stop for one second. Don't mind their deaths, but problematically, when they do die they leave speed breakers in their wake and sometimes they die under your wheels which is not amusing.

Haven't been here in a while. Might book m8 competition this year. It ticks all the boxes for me
>>6812 NICE. It is an impressive car. Also cool webm. Unfortunately and ironically, ownership cost in Germany is too high to own such cars. You have to get company insurance, which in itself costs as much as a new mid tier car.
>>6652 Yeah. For me its traffic lights. But its different from city to city, with same experience as the end result, i.e. to keep traffic predictable. It isn't even lack of speed. Dealing with the scooty aunties and underage kids, as well as raging drivers is tiring.
>>6831 Yeh state of insurance is dire out side but then again we pay 100% tax on car 1. Grunty engine 2. Good interior 3. A cruiser 4. Something that can still cut corners 5. Mass produced 6. Better fit and finish
>>6963 You also can only rely on official dealership for parts and maintainance. The issue isn't the cost as much as how it is artificially inflated. That said, if you can pay it, German cars are still the smoothest. Even if I think they won't do well on Indian roads.

During a job, my tasks got upgraded to handling 3 projects with 3 different locations in different corners of the city. At the same time, I had a motorbike accident so I had to switch to auto/bus. Company gave me a used Swift gen 1. Shitty interiors, dead electronics etc. I took my tools and removed the back seat, made space for mini cabinets and made it a mobile 2 seater office. I hated the people I worked with and now I would have a few hours to myself. Sitting near the chai dukaan and get some work done between offices. It wasn't a luxurious car, but I could push it shamelessly, burnout the tires, speed up and waste fuel because office was paying for it etc. Installed a music system of my choices, got my old cassettes from home etc. When I was done with the job, the company let me have the car instead of paying me my overtime pay. It was comfy maxxed for me honestly. You don't need too much money to make a vehicle your own if you are ok with used cars, old parts and a little knowledge and some DIY or know some good mechanics, you can get quiet far with treating a vehicle well and installing good tyres. Anyway, expensive cars don't make sense if you live in a city. You cannot speed up much and expensive vehicles attract attention and thieves.
>>7189 This is impressive although ill wait for reviews. Are elctric bikes any good ? I mean do battery burnings still happen ? Are there enough charging stations ?
>>7194 Electric bike are good for commuting. Battery has improved. There are fair bit charging stations in major cities. Tho, battery will lose its capacity over time. And battery replacement cost is a major expense. With coming of Bajaj cng, I don't think i need electric
>>7194 >impressive CNG stations are overwhelmed with taxis rickshaws and even passenger cars wonder how this will work out Or you could run a pipe from your kitchen to your parking kek >lctric bikes any good ? Pretty good I think. You don't need a charging station because you can charge overnight unless going further than 80km or so >battery burnings still happen ? Haven't heard one in a few days, tbh not worried because you can just drop it and run and while I don't trust the likes of Ola one bit, news portals are bad and once a story gets famous they keep highlighting the same kinds of stories again and again (a few days after the shraddha walker case every boyfriend seemed to be chopping his gf into pieces). In reality battery fires were probably not as frequent as they were made out to be. And you see e bikes all the time these days. There are 2 issues with the electric 2 wheeler scene, one is the degradation of batteries (and the cost to replace them - buying a used bike is going to be a gamble), and that i dont like the scooter form factor. Bikes are better with footpegs and bigger wheels, less shocks and destabilization from speedbreakers and bad roads. >charging stations ? You don't need one for your regular commuting but there is an increasing number of them on highways. "Not enough infra" is not really a valid excuse for any technology that seems hot (to investors) and isn't ahead of its time. The infrastructure will build itself if the technology is there and if there is enough money in it.
>>7202 https://newatlas.com/motorcycles/bajaj-freedom-125-cng/ You have a point about the stations being overwhelmed. > News portals are bad True. Very true. >>7201 The range part of electric bikes is scary. I have driven an electric car, it was unsettling to have no vibrations or sound. I have mostly driven analog cars i.e. cars that are less computer than a mechanical machine. I am always paranoid about things breaking down in bad weather, too much heat etc. A vehicle needs to be reliable above anything else. If it is not reliable in extreme cases, it will let you down when you need it the most.
Reckon my 2w days are behind me. Just feel like wanting a cushion for the arse. But when I do hop on bike and twist that throttle, the smile comes back

Even with the rains and the mud it's unlikely that you will need a four wheel drive system, you shouldn't risk getting stuck because you need another four wheel drive to save you if that happens. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-AN0NNeWtfMIx6vX0ewxrA fun channel if you like this sort of thing
>>7608 So more power but not true 4x4. Especially with electric it makes no sense. In petrol I'd get it through. Kind of tlgood for Indian roads. You can survive the shitty ones and enjoy the smooth ones
>>7608 Picheka hatch dekh. It's bubbled out It's SEDAN crossovers
>>7635 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastback https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notchback i think these terms are antiquated now because they call everything an SUV or a crossover. >>7626 I never said "more power" though besides this is a normal car, not a crossover or anything else of the sort.
>>7640 I am oversimplifying. I know.my terminology is wrong technically. From mileage POV crossover would make sense in some scenarios. I prefer a proper 4x4 myself.
>>7641 In non-rural Germany? I don't see the point of anything raised high above the ground In India? Yes a body on frame suv would be good, 4x4 a bonus, crossover a compromise
>>7649 I don't drive in cities at all. Public transport, bicycle or motorcycle. I go away every weekend. Europe is best experienced in smaller towns and village.- Big cities are all the same. Different language, same brands and same bullshit. A 4x4 allows for going into riskier areas where Idk what the terrain would be like. Outside highways, German roads are not as media shows. CZ and Pol have much worst roads, but lot of fun places with higher return on my money
>>7656 Are Germans also bicycle riding autists like the Dutch?
>>7670 Very much so and they turned me into one too. It is lot of fünf and makes way More sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSS6OWXGaVU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNm9tllgYLk
>>5352 Help me buy a good bike yaaro Is Honda cb350 a good one? My bike enthusiast chad friend suggested me this
>>7686 Budget
>>5352 i can't even drive because in order to get a driving licence as a nonresident here you need a DL from your home country, which obviously I never got because my orthodox southie parents castrated me socially from doing anything considered masculine even after turning 18. fuck em maybe next year when i can secretly bribe some nigger back in India for a permit i'll get to drive a car. But what's even the point, i'm old as fuck now. i'll never be a teenager taking his dads car out with his friends/+gf for a late night drive. I probably won't even use it at all
>>7723 also why the fuck is the captcha here so hard >t. Bh*ch refugee
>>7723 kek who stops their kids from driving. Also don't worry you didn't miss anything - if you were that sheltered you would not have had friends or a gf to go out with doesn't matter (just like me). Learn to drive even if you do not intend to drive a lot. Actually, buy a shitty used car and learn driving on it, preferably back home. It's a fun family bonding activity (when you drive they will all be hugging each other and saying their inshallahs - makes it devotional too) seriously though it is fun. Me i just want to know what it's like to ride a bike with a cute girl in "lo*e" with you, hugging you from the behind. Maybe i should an rc390. >>7724 too hard for ladyboy :(
>>7724 Are you in Thailand or VPN?
>>7717 3 lakhs
>>7738 So many good options. Get an Enfield.
>>7736 thailand sirs. bangkok to be exact
>>7741 Thai or Indian? Heading there early next year.
>>7739 Which ones?
>>7750 >>7750 Classic 350 would be my preference You can get KTM's as well in this price if you haggle a little. I cannot comment on the new Bajaj's but lot of good Yamaha's as well.
>>7686 maverick 440 is currenty best bike on indian mkt. Torquey engine and really well designed chassis just take a 10km test ride
>>7821 also theres 390 Enduro coming just done know when
really wish ktm 690 supermoto was avaliable here fuck ktm fuck this coutry fuck everybody
>>7823 Why the KTM hate ? I haven't driven the new ones but they were pretty decent a decade ago. Anyway, new the enduro and maverick would be out of anon's budget.
>>7824 Mvrivk is like 1.85 lad Hating ktm for not bringing 690 supermoto here
>>7826 Austrian govt is working with India on a deal for more important and manufacturing. It would make KTM bikes cheaper and we would get higher end models too. I would like that too. But Indian babu's ! Who fucking knows how long they delay things, until their relative gets a scholarship or or gets a paid vacation etc. I am also curious to try the new Enfields. Esp the Guerrilla 450. Its design doesn't look attractive, but is good for Indian roads and conditions. Low riders on Indian roads are a bad idea.
whats new in automobike world this month
>>7933 Maruti feonx looks good. Haven't seen reviews
>>7933 The usual suspects launch generic SUV rehash #65535 for current styling trend, this time with even stupider design choices and even more spyware to make it feel more like your mobile phone. Actually no, the Mahindra roxx looks good. >>7936 14 year old me hated Maruti but now i like it
>>7954 Maruti's biggest strength was ease of serviceability. I found parts outside of Tawang in Arunachal , in the middle of a storm. This was an 800, that was not mine. Then there was a Swift. Going to rent a car for few days and go into Poland for sometime off. Electrics are being promoted right now, but I want to try an Audi. Lets see if the premium is worth it.

I have had time to think about this. There are cars I think I would like, then in practice, I don't enjoy driving them. About me - I don't like loud cars or motorcycles. I don't want to wake up my parents when I come home or make a statement. I do like feeling the gear change so ofcourse, mannual gear drive for me. I do like a moderately powerful engine, it is useless in cities but very useful outside especially in sand. I also prefer higher ground clearwnce because Indian roads. I thought I would enjoy EV's, since they are quiet and powerful, but I don't. They are more of toys, like smartphones. Most cars that I miss are simple machines. They do one job and do it well. And don't pretend to do anymore. Repairing or servicing these cars is easy too , as is using them. They also don't cost as much as luxury cars.
>>7997 Literally the best car I can think of is a simple sedan or hatchback that is cheap and reliable enough to run daily, but also have enough power. >They are more of toys, like smartphones. It's weird I spend the day working in front of a screen I come home and spend much of the rest of the day on the screen Last thing I want is another big huge screen shoved in my face. I don't like thier childish user interfaces and buggy code, tracking, backdoors. Small monochrome or 7 seg screens to show the radio station were fine because they were very functional, easy to read and not distracting at all.
Gadkari is shilling his way into 15% ethanol in diesel. Although I need to read more about it, first thing I think worry about is the high pressure injection pump in diesel engines They're built to very tight tolerances and probably won't like ethanol infused diesel. (Diesel also works as a lubricant in those pumps) One of the reasons why diesel in a petrol car is just a matter of draining the tank and cranking the diesel out of the fuel lines, while petrol in a diesel engine is a costly affair
>>8137 Diesel was always a mistake and it was pushed on us by Europeans who wanted to get rid of their excess stock. There are ways to phase it out. But this ethanol plan is retarded in every way. I don't see any sense in it at all.
>>8155 If you say this because of the pollution thing that's just not relevant. Diesels have marginally higher NOx, sulphur and PM emissions but they fixed it in bs6 with their particulate filter and catalytic thing (adblu) also to push the blame of le pollution on random citizens is stupid. Trucks, coal fired power plants, industries, stubble burning and marine engines they account for a large, large percentage of air pollution. Diesel will be truly dead when all trucks run on CNG and the government removes subsidies and stars taxing diesel like they do with petrol. Not that I want it to happen. If a car runs well, keep it running. Pretending to care about the environment to kill off perfectly working cars is criminal. They (government, auto industry) do it for the money, if you haven't seen the pattern yet.
>>8156 Diesel pollutants are particularly notorious and have serious health concerns. Don't believe the filter bullshit, car companies push lot of money in Germany to suppress studies. It is a citizen issue if everyone does it and if it harms everyone. They should just have let diesel cars die natural deaths and stop registering new Diesel or ban their sale/manufacture. > Pollution Fully agree. We just need to take care of stubble burning and stop with the GMO and 3 crops a year nonsense. This is a deeply frustrating thing where govts refuse to put their foot down. The rest is all noise. < CNG I have terrible experience with CNG, so kind of biased against it. Car with CNG can barely climb a small hill, let alone intense driving. Fully agree that impounding good cars does more harm to the environment than letting them run when the harm is marginal. > Back to Gadkari Un necessary intervention does more harm than no intervention. There should be an award for people who do good by doing nothing. Cops who let street justice happen, judges who keep their mouth shut , doctors who don't prescribe medicine for no reason etc. Gadkari doesn't belong to that group. He should have used his brain somewhere else. The GPS project he is pushing is just expensive surveillance.
Anyone who says they hate good interiors and smooth rides, is a liar. Plus Interiors and excellent suspension is worth it if you drive a lot. The issue is, a lot of luxury cars - Use exotic parts i.e. maintenance takes a long time in India and parts take time to come. - They break down since they are not designed for India. India only makes things for middle class and lower class. India hates people with wealth. So owning a luxury car in India quickly becomes a pain. Best is to get a good performing car and spend money on interiors instead.
