Optra looks nasty

Chevy India got a new Optra version out some time ago its called as the Optra magnum.Its has a 2.0L diesel engine and is aimed at capturing the diesel market share from the Octavia's Sales pie.Till now the Octy was the only car in the diesel engined entry D segment market.It has been one of the main players with the Corolla and the Optra for about 4 years.But it was the entry of the Civic that changed the domination.


The Optra was originally designed by the Italian design house 'Pininfarina'and looked very stunning,But it does look a bit outdated now,with the entry of newer rivals.though it has aged gracefully but still is one of the top payers in the market due to the discounts and freebies given by the GM.


The new Optra's engine is the one developed and researched by Daewoo.Like the whole of the car.The car has one of the biggest Diesel engine in the segment.But it would definately not match the solidness of the german manufactured Indian assembled Octavia.

New M3 launched

BMW launched its new M3 sometime ago.i saw the new M3 in Motor trend and i did read a review about it by them which was about 4 pages long.The new car replaces the old M3 which was highly praised for its dynamic abilities.The new car has the Chris Bangle look but it is quite subtle,Not as radical as its larger cousins the M5 or the M6

The new car has a V8 under the hood.WHich give it a significant boost from the six pot inline of the old M3.The new car is quicker than the M5 says the technical head of the BMW"S m department.The new M3 might be one of the bread &butter models [in simpler language it might be one of the maximum selling models for BMW]So it deserves the to have brain storming performance.But it keeps in line with the latest trend of the German giants to outdo their old models with a new model.

The most distinctive part of the new M3 is the Carbon fibre roof.quite a distinctive feature for a car of this category.it does make it look very diffrent.Usually caron fibre components are found in high end sports cars like Ferraris&lambos.I wonder why BMW chose to keep it black.The roof and the rest of the car give it a two coloured look.

Looks, like i said the car is not very radical.but it will look diffrent with other cars on the street.the front of the car has a very aggresive stance.though it has the traditional Beemer elements of a twin kidney grill,and double barrel headlams.The rear end looks more like a sedan with a tail lamp which stretches ofver to the boot lid.I love the airdam unit pretty conventional but the central part i.e the main airdam looks really good.

The new baby 'M'taking on AMG's C would be a fight to look out for.
