[QUOTE=nickatnite;2528639]A rendering of the new version of India's longest selling car(50 plus years in market) to be introduced by Hindustan Motors next year. If they actually pull it off, this car will rock the market in it's segment(medium size sedan) as Indians have an eternal and sentimental attachment to this marque.

The current Ambassador.

The proposed replacement(hubba hubba). A Swiss auto design firm has been hired to rework the Ambassador for the 21st century and the rendering below is one of the contenders. Hindustan Motors has officially announced the new car in a press release.

Oh My GOD!I couldn't believe my eyes:o:o:o:o:o SUPERB!

Any details,technical data,links etc. sir? Please share if any.Thanks in advance.

@chinyoti

You're right about Suzuki stepping up. The car wars have begun here in earnest. 1563 and 1564 are two different numbers.

@ROHANGENIUS

A new Ambassador is a given and i hope the final shape lives up to expectations

@m_waqas

re: celebrity, :P:grin: I would have waved but i didn't wear my gloves at that point in time. And, you're right about the 'Q7' which it isn't. It's the new A7 test car in the Autocar(india) pics.

The same show where i spotted this car last year is coming to town this weekend. So i hope i get to see some neat cars and share them with y'all. Add the Toyota Etios Chennai launch pics to the spread too.

Pics from driving around last week. Mercifully, the incessant rain has stopped and the city is recovering, especially the roads.

Etios is a very Nice Car apart from its looks.IT will be a superhit.

OMG the Ambassodor looks amazing. :o

Its such a pity that they went to the swedes instead of their own kids. But anyways, it does have some styling cues from the newer Mini styling.
