^^ mate I posted some news on this I just found on my news thread.

@nickatnite please post more info on this and perhaps in time you can start a dedicated thread on it ?

Follow this thread: Greater Noida - Formula 1 Circuit - SkyscraperCity

From the likes of it the work is going on very slow at the moment as is the case with many such projects in India (conceived before recession). But I hope it would be ready by 2011 to host a race there.

@m_waqas

No second hand imports permitted.

@Ducati

The races are on but since the Commonwealth Games are on this October everyone's attention is focused there. @AutoCrat provided all the answers. Ofcourse, i'll be there for the opening!

@AutoCrat

Thanks, buddy.

V6 E350 priced at RS54lacs ex-showroom Mumbai. If there is enough volume M-B(India) will look at the CKD route to bring prices down. I couldn't resist posting the picture above but for pics of the car at launch and more , click on the link below:

Hey Nick, this thread's awesome! I've been following pakwheels for a month or so now, and it primarily had to do with my curiosity about the automobile industry in neighbouring Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangaldesh, and I stumbled upon your thread. Appreciate the dedication!

Ducati (Ducati) 2010-04-07 14:33:32 +0500 #2672

R15's look great ! and I checked out the link you gave for the Merc launch, nice site ! Though it'd be funny to see an chauffeur driven couple LoL.

So you finally got hold of 'Skids'!!! (H)

AutoCrat (AutoCrat) 2010-04-07 16:46:36 +0500 #2674

You can expect that in the 'DesiLand'

AutoCrat (AutoCrat) 2010-04-07 16:49:32 +0500 #2675

Welcome Buddy :). And yes Nick is our torch bearer here.

m_waqas (m_waqas) 2010-04-08 02:37:44 +0500 #2676

oh right...sorry..
ya i checked and its superb..though i think its a tad large/long (whatever the suitable word is) for a coupe...looks nice though...

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-04-08 14:11:21 +0500 #2677

@Ducati

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was chauffer driven:D

@Bombaywalla

Thanks, but like i've said before , no effort at all. I like your spotting debut. Hope to see more.

@m_waqas

They use models and dancing girls to sell ghutka too here. Any excuse:P

@AutoCrat

The jinx is still unbroken. I let five escape my cam today!.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-04-08 14:26:08 +0500 #2678

While we wait for the all new Wagon-R and ARIA MPV to drive in the showrooms...

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-04-08 14:29:36 +0500 #2679

Two hot hatches. I'll leave it to you to name the brand and model!.

nickatnite (nickatnite) 2010-04-08 14:36:09 +0500 #2680

One is India's best selling taxicab and in the 2nd pic, the great equalizer of the masses.The 5th Nano to catch fire was recently reported , 4 out of 5 while being driven by dealer employees!. 5 out of 40,000 (so far made) ain't bad?. The Indian public is not taking it lightly and is turning the heat on TATA Motors to make sure there's none.
