My Take on the Toyota Hilux
https://mavcbr.com/update/toyotahilux/3656343
The new Toyota Hilux has entered the scene. And, it hasn’t changed much. In terms of exterior and interior appearance, there is some change. However, the problem lies in the fact that, they have removed certain things, which makes it a bit too barebones for it’ s approximately Rs. 50 lakh price tag. They removed climate control, there are no ventilated and electronically adjustable seats, and some of the quality of plastics in the interior don’t really feel premium. I know, it’s a truck and mea...
Compact "SUV"?
https://mavcbr.com/update/newbolero/3654619
The Indian market is dominated by compact-sub 4m SUVs and mid-size SUVs (slightly larger than compact SUVs). There is also this segment of micro-SUVs, which are a size smaller than even compact SUVs. But I will let you in on a secret, that manufacturers don’t want you to know. These aren’t SUVs, in the traditional sense. They are jacked up hatchbacks. Hatchbacks with raised ground clearance and SUV body style. They are front-wheel drive, monocoque, and are designed to be normal cars. They are n...
Favorite cars in movies
https://mavcbr.com/update/favorite-cars-in-movies/2748510
We car-guys dream as well, like regular people. Let’s face it, most of what’s shown in the movies isn’t real, most of it is fake and made-up, and the other half of it is done by talented stunt drivers like Ben Collins (the ex-Stig in Top Gear). Not to mention Rohit Shetty rolling over cars like there is no tomorrow. But, the movies are what inspire most of us, they are the things that made us dream of a better world, better possibilities, and better cars. Okay, I digress, let’s cut to the chas...
10 sedans that were forgotten by time
https://mavcbr.com/update/10-sedans-that-were-forgotten-by-time/2674237
Yes, you would call me a sedan lover after this. But somewhere or the other, as impartial as I would like to be, the sedans in this list are just so damn good that you will want to buy one after looking at them and driving them. But, time has forgotten them and they did not get the sales numbers that they deserved, so they weren’t that successful, so to speak. But, they were damn good cars, and if you want to do a classic car auction of your car in the future, one of these has the potential to...
Maruti Suzuki Jimny-is it underrated?
https://mavcbr.com/update/maruti-suzuki-jimny-is-it-underrated/2612415
The Jimny, is quite the unique proposition. There is nothing quite like it, is there? Now you might say that the Mahindra Thar is a competitor. I agree, but I still think that it’s quite unique in it’s own. If you look at it’s segment, the lifestyle Jeep off-roading SUV, then you will realize that it’s rivals, the Thar, the Wrangler and G-Wagon (though technically, they aren’t in the same price bracket, I am mentioning them to cover the full segment), and etc. are known for having really in-you...
