Its raining supercars in India and also joining the 370Z will be its bigger brother, the GT-R. The 2012 Nissan GT-R has some small tweaks to make it even more menacing. Significant improvements have been made to the engine, chassis and transmission which accentuates the pure performance potential of the Nissan GT-R and these are the key changes to Nissan's flagship model for the 2012 model year.

Lets face it supercars are not that practical for India. Low ground clearance, lack of space and not to mention tricky to drive among the maddening traffic, supercars are at best weekend toys. But what if you want to have that ballistic performance every day? Well the answer is sports saloons. These are as the name suggests sedans with all the practicality and the comfort but with the performance to shame quite a few sports cars. This trend was started by the BMW M5 and now there is also the Mercedes E63 AMG and the Audi S6. What is more good news is that Audi will be bringing the S6 late this year.

SUV lovers rejoice! Many years ago there was a strong indication that Chrysler would come to India but that never happened, however soon enough, India will see the introduction of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in India. Jeep is part of Chrysler which in turn is in a strategic alliance with Fiat. Thus the Jeep models would come to India via the CKD route and assembled at the Tata/Fiat facility at Ranjangaon. Jeep has a long history and also made the world’s first off-roader. In India the one that will make most sense is the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Tata on its way to give India its smallest diesel engined car. The Nano petrol hasnt really done wonders in terms of sales but with rising petrol prices and an expected 40kmpl from the Nano diesel, this might just be a best seller for Tata!

Volkswagen keen to enter the crossover segment and that is no surprise considering it is by far the hottest selling segment in India with even more growth expected. That product is the CrossPolo which is an off-road version of the Polo hatchback.

The Maruti A-Star has always lived under the shadow of its other stablemates as customers either go for the Alto or the more practical Wagon R. Though all that can change when the facelifted A-Star arrives and as you can see that it is now much better looking. The A-Star is actually the new generation Alto but called as A-Star in India because the earlier Alto is also being sold. The new look is much more modern and gone ar the old round bulging headlamps and in comes a much sharper looking headlamp.

Finally yet another hotly anticipated launch has been revealed. This time it is the Mercedes CLA compact saloon which is based on the A-Class. You might remember we first showed you the leaked pics and now all details have been officially revealed. These shots which after a barrage of spy shots reveal the complete look of the car which is pure CLS and clearly follows its style mantra- which I think no one will complain about.

It is no secret that Tata wants a large share of the Indian market and is working towards a plan to do just that. One of the most interesting new products coming from the Tata stable will be the Mini Aria compact SUV.

Now that Great Wall Motor is in talks to open a plant in India, let us looks at its diverse product range. The most appealing and one of the best ways to enter the Indian market now is through a SUV. The Haval H5 is sold both in petrol and diesel engines and has been spotted testing in India. For entry into the Indian market this SUV is perfect.

The automotive media has been saying since eternity that VW should bring the Tiguan and well, we too are joining this movement as we think the Tiguan makes great sense in India.It is a good looking solid SUV that is also priced well.
