    Pulsar 220F to 200NS a worthy upgrade? A P220 user reasons out!
     I was in junior school when the Pulsar twins came to the market. I remember grown-ups talking about stuff like ’electric starter’, ‘disc brake’ and ‘the colossal power’ that the 150cc engine had! Soon, every kind of biker from plain hooligan to a touring guy was seen using a Pulsar and quite in love with the machine. Then in 2006, I entered the world of...

    Bajaj Pulsar 200NS Review: The Democrat lives on (updated)
    Back in 2001, the Pulsar twins started a revolution of sorts. The advent of Brand Pulsar pioneered the democratization of performance biking, offering affordable motorcycles which were not mere commuters. 10 years on, Brand Pulsar, as we know it today has an unparalleled Indian fan base.

    First drive review: New 2012 Mahindra Xylo
    Of late, it seems Mahindra can do no wrong. They managed to infuse some life into the Logan sales as they took it over from Renault, and rebranded it as the Verito. They took over Ssangyong, and brought the bleeding firm back in black within a year. Bolero, Xylo, Scorpio and XUV500, although every closely spaced, are all doing exceptionally well – it’s like having...

    Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI 4×4 Review: An evolved species
    The world of cars abounds with model names which make no more sense than the Congress managing to rule us for the past 70 years. How does ‘Daihatsu Naked’ sound for a car which you are supposed to drop your kids to school in? Imagine your 10 year old son’s classmates asking him about his ride.

    2012 Swift Dzire review: Short, and Sweet!
    Images: Nitin Gupta Review with inputs from Rohit Nagpal So what if it wasn’t the most beautiful thing on wheels with a boot, you still had to wait eight months if you wanted one with a diesel heart. Frugal, spacious, reliable with a big boot and the Suzuki logo on the grille – it doesn’t require anything more than that for a car to be a hit in this market. Conventional...

    We taste the searing hot and utterly delicious GT-R
