Tata Hype and Fraud over Nano

The announcement of one lakh car from Tata came around five years back. All the automobile manufacturers in India and the World were surprised and kept mum. Even China with the cheapest car did not get excited. Then Ratan Tata drove the proto Nano in the expo and created a sensation.

Now TATA has released Vista in 5 models starting from 3.5 lakhs. How is it possible? TATA has all the production facilities to launch new models and the existing ones. Nano is just a hype and fraud to create a name for TATA and confuse the people and other manufacturers. Just like our politicians promise jobs for millions and upliftment of the poor or the Obama’s promise of a Dream America!

New Bikes Launch

Yamha DebutYamaha is launching Debut the 150 cc bike with 17 BHP power and 6 gears in India. It has a maximum speed of 145 kms per hour and a fuel efficiency of 42 km per litre.
Already the TV commercial is showing YAMAHA Debut. The full name is Yamaha YZF R15 or simple R15 or Debut. R15 was shown in Auto Expo for public. The Price would be around Rs.90,000. Debut has Self Start, Digital Fuel gauge, Disc brakes.

TVS Apache 160 launch
The TVS has launched its 160cc bike Apache. The bike is longer, more powerful, has all those goodies that the Pulsarians and Xtremists talked about and more importantly is a killer in looks. Max Speed - 118 kph and 15.2 bhp. The fuel efficiency is not known.

Personally I would prefer Yamaha Debut than Pulsar, Apache or its sisters! And there are some nice bikes from Tara Tiny
group launching 99k electric car. I like to try these Electric bikes first. Or get a second hand Jawa and remodel it to suit my style!
