Alfa Romeo Milano : A New CAR (2010)

New Alfa Romeo Milano supposed to launch in Germany in 2010. The five-door Milano pictured gives credence to Milano artist's – under that disguise lies a Golf-sized hatchback with the latest family look as pioneered by little sibling the Mito.

CAR's sources in Italy tell that the new Milano is slightly wider and lower than today's 147, which the newcomer will replace. Alfa is moving away from numbers to names; court documents filed during Chrysler's bankruptcy have revealed the 147 becomes the Milano, the next 159 the Giulia.

Technical Specifications : Alfa Romeo Milano

On the downward side, that black make unrecognizable lies the latest iteration of the Fiat Group's C- and D-segment platform. Dubbed C-Evo, it's an update on the existing architecture and it's also bound Stateside, underpinning the next generation of mid-sized Chryslers such as the replacement Sebring.

Alfa has confirmed the new family of Multiair engines will be compatible with the new architecture, so expect clever petrol and common-rail diesel engines to be available. Front- and four-wheel drive is on the cards.

Actually, the Milano has been delayed by the recession. It is supposed to be launched in 2009, but the start day has been pushed back to 2010 now.

Toyota's Land Cruiser On Indian Roads

Toyota launched the full-size, heavy duty Land Cruiser V8 in India today. It is Toyota's first V8 diesel on sale here.The Land Cruiser Prado has been on sale in India for some time, but it was available only with a 4.4-litre petrol engine.

There are two variant available, both will come with no less than ten airbags. Priced at Rs 83.1 lakh (ex-showroom Thane) for the fullly-specced version that features a 6-disc DVD player, 14-speaker audio system from JBL, 4-zone climate control with 28 vents. There is also a lower spec variant priced at Rs 81.64 lakh.

The Land Cruiser has a ladder-frame chassis rather than the monocoque construction that modern SUVs have increasingly turned to. Toyota claims this to be an affirmation of the Land Cruiser’s genuine off-road credentials, and it also makes it far easier to repair in those parts of the world without access to laser-aligned body-shop rigs. This in many ways makes up for its relatively higher price tag compared to the luxury "soft-roaders" like the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes M-Class.

Powering the 2,555kg Cruiser is a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel. The engine is fitted with low-intertia turbochargers and common-rail injection to deliver a peak power output of 282bhp and a massive 66kgm of torque, available from just 1600rpm. Drive is supplied to all four wheels via a standard-fit six-speed automatic gearbox (with the option of manual override) plus a torque-sensing centre differential that can smoothly vary the amount of torque between the front and rear axles to promote stability.

The difference can be locked, and low-range gears selected, via switches on the dashboard. The Land Cruiser uses conventional steel springs, but hydraulically charged shock absorbers allow the ride height to be varied by up to 100mm and also give three-stage variable damping.

Because of its legendary reliability, it’s the preffered mode of transport in places as diverse as the Australian outback, remote parts of Africa and the high-streets of London, so it should have no problems coping with our conditions.

Specifications of Toyota Land Cruiser:

1. Price: Rs 81.64 lakhs to Rs 83.1 lakhs
2. Engine: 4461cc, V-8 diesel
3. Max Power: 282bhp at 3600rpm
4. Max Torque: 66.2kgm at 1600rpm
5. Valve gear: 4 per cylinder
6. Front Suspension: Double Wishbone
7. Rear Suspension: 4-link coil with lateral rod
8. Steering: Rack and Pinion
9. Brakes (front): 340 x 32mm, ventilated discs
10. Brakes (rear): 345 x 18mm, ventilated discs
11. Wheels: 18-inch alloy
12. Tyres (front): 285/60-R18

Why I like Maruti 800?

"Maruti 800 ruled out from the roads" ..... "Maruti 800 comes in new complexion" and many other news I have heard in recent days. Whatever the reason but still I like Maruti 800. Yeah! It is true. Any middle class family who earn 4 to 4.5 lacs per annum can buy this dream car even though, it has 796 cc Engine, Petrol, Manual Transmission, 4 Seater, No Power Windows, No Central Locking , 13.1 km/liter City Mileage.

It is a very nice compact car for a small family. Hassle free, no problems with maintenance as its cheaper, we get parts easily, no other make can fail this car as it has become the choice of all. Its too beautiful comfort of ordinary family. No comparison to this wonderful car for small family (unit). It is most unbeatable non competitive piece on road. It is most realistic car for the Indian roads. Yeah! It is very handy and reliable even though, its seat cushions unimproved for long distance travel.

Yeah! I like Maruti 800 and its next generation Maruti Alto - Lxi. See what happens next.

What is "Bharat IV Emission Norms"?

Many times we have read in news paper that some of the vehicles are going to be outdated due to not qualify with Bharat IV Emission Norms. What does it means actually?

Emissions standards are requirements that set specific limits to the amount of pollutants that can be released into the environment. Many emissions standards focus on regulating pollutants released by automobiles (motor cars) and other powered vehicles but they can also regulate emissions from industry, power plants, small equipment such as lawn mowers and diesel generators. Frequent policy alternatives to emissions standards are technology standards (which mandate the use of a specific technology) and emission trading.

Standards generally regulate the emissions of NOx, sulfur oxides, particulate matter (PM) or soot, carbon monoxide (CO), or volatile hydrocarbons.

The first Indian emission regulations were idle emission limits which became effective in 1989. These idle emission regulations were soon replaced by mass emission limits for both petrol (1991) and diesel (1992) vehicles, which were gradually tightened during the 1990’s. Since the year 2000, India started adopting European emission and fuel regulations for four-wheeled light-duty and for heavy-dc. Indian own emission regulations still apply to two- and three-wheeled vehicles.

Current requirement is that all transport vehicles carry a fitness certificate that is renewed each year after the first two years of new vehicle registration.

On October 6, 2003, the National Auto Fuel Policy has been announced, which envisages a phased program for introducing Euro 2 - 4 emission and fuel regulations by 2010. The implementation schedule of EU emission standards in India is summarized in below table (Click to Enlarge).

The above standards apply to all new 4-wheel vehicles sold and registered in the respective regions. In addition, the National Auto Fuel Policy introduces certain emission requirements for interstate buses with routes originating or terminating in Delhi or the other 10 cities.

For 2-and 3-wheelers, Bharat Stage II (Euro 2) will be applicable from April 1, 2005 and Stage III (Euro 3) standards would come in force preferably from April 1, 2008, but not later than April 1, 2010.
