Leo, with the HM logo I can only imagine someone's modified a Contessa to look like a Ford GT90 and put a salvaged badge on it.

Not to say there AREN'T any classic muscle cars in India, there's several in Mumbai.

there's a lot of exotic owners in my city...Bangalore baby!

thats exactly what i thought too, but still wanted to know about ur thoughts. it was a grand mod job though.

@ J4K

I saw a thread some time back about ur possible car upgrade. Didnt u buy that new innova or laura ??

just4kix · 01-17-09, 12:37 AM

No money

Loans are still not cheap and high down payment will reduce my liquidity. I want to buy a good car.

the exact reason i was not feeling very glad when posting in this Expensive Cars thread.
Well, I hope u will get a much better car very soon.

Preeti_20 · 01-17-09, 01:01 AM

Well no harm in posting and imagining that maybe just one day we may has these cars, who knows, life changes things in many ways, lets hope for the best!

just4kix · 01-17-09, 01:19 AM

No harm in dreaming as long as you don't keep dreaming only. You can do something spectacular only if you dream about it.

Dream with eyes wide open.

A toss between Innova / Corolla Altis / Civic. I am aiming for April. Hope to have some money to spare at that time.

I have an extremely strong intution that you are going to get money from very unexpected sources... in days to come.

A beamer may be? or a merc on the cards?

Hanumaan ji is kind of impressed with me these days and I am going to the mandir tommorow ... will say a prayer for you

just4kix · 01-17-09, 11:45 AM

Thank you, Admin. While a beemer/merc will be rand to own, it will be a headache to own. Even a small scratch will give a minor heart attack.

I do not intend to sell/exchange my Santro. I wish to keep the small car for city life.

The dillemma is like this:

a) Innova makes most sense - one because it is diesel and two it can carry 7/8 people. So per seat cost of Innova (12L in Pune) is 1.5~1.7L. Daily running costs will be lower although there will be some major costs during engine overhauls. I expect to keep the car for 6/7 years and looking at my previous car ownerships, I will not cross 70K miles during the period.

b) Corolla Altis or Civic will make a statement. The comfort will be much higher. The differential cost between Innova and Altis is just 1.25L. Corolla is cheaper to Civic by about 46K in Pune. The new corolla, in spite of being latest redesign, still looks like a girl next door to Bipasha Basu.

c) The dealer of Toyota in Pune was our neighbour for 10+ years - recently moved to his own palatial bunglow. He has offered me more discount than standard. Also the Toyota showroom is walking distance from my home. If I buy a Toyota vehicle, I can just drop it at the showroom and it will be delivered to me at my convinience. Comparatively, the Honda service center is 16 km away and I have to cross the entire heart of the city in heavy traffic. But as I said, Civic is so much more appealing.

Preeti_20 · 01-18-09, 12:09 AM

you have many different reasons to choose the cars of your choice, and each reason is good and valid, you seem to be in a stuck situation J4K, i know i would be, how will you decide now?

Evander Leopold · 01-18-09, 01:45 AM

Last time he had his mind set on Innova , cause it was big and had too much space for all family members and comfort. I like innova too, dont know y some people dislike it.

On the other hand a CIVIC is too much of a car. With a lil customization ( side skirts and HID Conversion Kits : I m not sure if CIVIC comes with it like Laura ) it looks out of the world.

Preeti_20 · 01-18-09, 04:43 AM

Honda cars are very good and reliable too i think!

just4kix · 01-18-09, 11:24 AM

Oh! I am rather happy that I don't have to take a decision right now coz I don't have spare cash right now. Also expecting some interest rates dropping. As I said in my previous post:

a) If I go by the head, it will be Innova
b) If I go by the heart, it shall be Civic
c) Altis is somewhere in between.

There is one thing about the Sedans though - the ride comfort is higher because of the lower posture.

There is one more thing that is worrying me. The Innova was introduced sometime in 2002. So it is due for an upgrade soon. I would rather prefer to have a new model. Does anyone have any news on this?

On a side note, the thread is going totally offtopic. Should I split the non-relevant stuff into another thread?
