GM to launch Beat in 2009

Remember the small car from GM which was caught testing in China.In all possibility we will see that car on Indian roads by 2009 itself.

This new car could be cheaper than the Spark even is what GM have told us and also the fact that this car could be here by the year end.Chevrolet have even talked about a sub 1.0L engine for the car.So this car may just see a 800cc engine in India.

Chevrolet India cuts prices of the Spark once again

With Chevrolet India you just cannot be assured that you have just had the best deal.No I am not referring to their cars,they are perhaps the best in class,its the pricing aspect.

Just when you think you have bought the car from Chevrolet at the best possible price a few months down the line chevrolet come up with an ever cheaper version[Now whether that's worth complaining is something I leave entirely upto you]

But during these record breaking days of inflation it is nice to know prices of something atleast is going the other way[downwards that is].Chevrolet are now selling the base variant[without power steering however it does come with AC] of the Spark at Rs.2.66 lakhs ex-showroom i.e. Rs55,000 below the price it was sold last year.

Unlike other manufacturers they are not calling this a discount however,they are instead calling this the benefits of increased localization and volumes at the plant in Halol,Gujarat.I am just wondering what would actually happen when the Pune plant gets commissioned,perhaps the Tata Nano could get a new competitor.
