Totota Etios frm Dec 2011

2010-12-12T10:06:00.000-08:00

Toyota Motors riding the wave of popularity with the recent launch of all new Toyota Etios Sedan and Toyota Etios Liva (displayed during the launch) is now planning to have a grand launch of the Diesel version of Toyota Etios. When we contacted, one of the company officials revealed that the Toyota Etios Diesel is likely to be launched sometime in December 2011.

Koji Nagata, Director, Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar, told that the company is thinking about the launch of the Toyota Etios Diesel and they expect that they could get the things done by December, next year. The upcoming threat Nissan Micra Diesel may give a tough competition to the Toyota Etios Diesel. Nissan Micra will hit the Indian market on 10th December this year.

Toyota Motors has a tie up with Kirloskar Motors in India. Toyota plans to increase the localization of components in Toyota Etios by 90 per cent. Currently this localization stands at 70 per cent.

The all new model of Toyota Etios was launched in Bangalore on 1st December. The sedan is equipped with a 1.5 L DOHC engine that churns out a power of 90 Bhp and a torque of 132 Nm. Toyota Etios offers an impressive mileage of 17. 6 kmpl and costs Rs 4.96 lakh. Etios is all set to lock horns with rivals like Hyundai Accent, Maruti Swift Dzire, Tata Manza and Ford Ikon in the Indian auto market. Toyota Etios Liva which will run on the Indian roads next year in April will have a 1.2 L engine offering 80 Bhp. The car will be having a price tag of Rs. 4.2 lakh estimated as of now.

It seems like Toyota is too eager to lunge into the over crowed but blooming Indian automobile market with its new models. Giving Toyota an amazing start, Toyota Etios managed to bag a woofing number of bookings of 3077 units in just a couple of days after its launch. Only time will tell how far the Japanese car pioneer manages to keep up with its brand name in this competitive market.

Oxford MO (1948–54)

2008-11-07T23:58:00.000-08:00

The Oxford MO took the place of the Morris 10 HP after the world war II. It was introduced in 1948 and was produced through to 1954. The design was shared with Nuffield Organisation stable-mate Wolseley as the Wolseley 4/50.

It was designed by Alec Issigonis, the Issigonis, with the Morris Minor, introduced unit construction techniques, though it is not widely recognized as a true unibody car. Torsion beam front suspension was another novelty, and 8 inch (200 mm) drum brakes hydraulically operated were fitted all around. Under the bonnet, the MO was a step back in technology from the pre-war Ten. It used a side valve straight-4 rather than the older over head valve unit. The single SU carburettor engine displaced 1.5 L (1476 cc/90 in³) and with its output of 40.5 bhp (30.2 kW) at 4200 rpm could propel the car to 72 mph (116 km/h). The four speed gearbox had a column change and steering was by rack and pinion.

The MO was sold as a 4-door Saloon and 2-door Estate ( Traveller) with exposed wood, both with four seats. It was replaced by the Series II Oxford in 1954.

The Motor magazine tested a Traveller in 1952 and found it to have a top speed of 64 mph (103 km/h) and acceleration from 0-50 mph (80 km/h) in 26.2 seconds. A fuel consumption of 26.4 miles per imperial gallon (10.7 L/100 km/22.0 mpg) was recorded. The test car cost £825 including taxes.

Oxford (Flat nose) (1926–30) & Six (1929–33)

2008-11-07T18:21:00.000-08:00

The distinctive Bullnose radiator was dropped in 1926 in a new updated version of the car. The engines remained the same but a new range of bodies was offered including all steel saloons.

A 1938 cc six cylinder version, the LA series Oxford Six, was made between 1929 and 1933 and was much more successful than the 1920 version. Alongside the tourer and steel saloon a fabric bodied car was offered until 1932 when it and the tourer were dropped but a coupé introduced.

In 1932 the gearbox gained a fourth speed and the engine grew to 2062 cc with the Q series unit.

After that a completely new car was announced for 1934 with a longer and stronger chassis with flexible mounting for the 2002 cc engine. The gearbox gained synchromesh. Initially it kept the Six name but this changed to Sixteen in 1935 when it was joined by the 2561 cc Twenty model.

It was replaced by the Fourteen/Sixteen/Eighteen range in 1935 and the Oxford name disappeared until 1948.

Oxford (1919–26)

2008-11-07T18:16:00.000-08:00

The 1919 Oxford was an up market version of the Cowley model. It retained the pre-war Bullnose radiator style but in a larger version. The 1548 cc engine was of Continental design made by the British branch of the French Hotchkiss company in Coventry for Morris at prices well undercutting White and Poppe. (Morris bought the British factory in 1923 and changed the name to Morris engines.) In 1923 the engine was enlarged to 1802 cc.

It was differentiated from the Cowley by having a better electrical system and leather upholstery. In 1925 it got a longer wheelbase chassis to move it further from the Cowley, and four wheel brakes. This model of the Oxford would be the basis of the first M G, the 14/28 Super Sports.

A short lived six cylinder variant, The F-Type Oxford Six was announced in 1920 and was in theory available until 1926. The 2320 cc engine proved unreliable and few were sold. Although the car was longer than the four by 9 inches (230 mm) all the extra space was given over to the engine.

The 1919 Oxford was an up market version of the Cowley model. It retained the pre-war Bullnose radiator style but in a larger version. The 1548 cc engine was of Continental design made by the British branch of the French Hotchkiss company in Coventry for Morris at prices well undercutting White and Poppe. ( Morris bought the British factory in 1923 and changed the name to Morris engines. ) In 1923 the engine was enlarged to 1802 cc.

Oxford (Bullnose) (1913–14)

2008-11-07T13:11:00.000-08:00

William Morris' first car was called the Oxford in recognition of its home city. To keep costs down virtually all components were bought-in and assembled by Morris. It was a small car with 1018 cc four cylinder side valve engine with fixed cylinder head from White and Poppe Ignition was by a Bosch magneto. It was the First Car Devoloped by Morris Oxford. The chassis was of pressed steel construction and suspension at the front was by semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front and three-quarter ones at the rear. The brakes, on the rear wheels only, were external contracting type using metal shoes. A three forward and reverse gearbox was fitted. The headlights were acetylene and the side and tail lamps oil.

The car got its name from its distinctive round topped radiator at first called the bullet nose. Most bodies, made by Ragwort of Oxford, were of the two seat open tourer type, there was also a van version, but the chassis was too short to allow four seat bodies to be fitted.

Morris Oxford

2008-11-07T12:45:00.000-08:00

Morris Oxford is a series of motor cars models by the Morris Motor Company of United Kingdom from the 1913 to 1971.

In 1913 it was called as "Bullnose” and om 1961-1971 ot ;ater renamed to Oxford VI. Bullnose was the first evolution and later from 1919 it was named as Oxford I.

Royal Enfield Classic

2008-11-03T17:52:00.000-08:00

Royal Enfield, As the name is Mentions , Its Royal , No two Wheelers can beat Enfield in its riding comfortness. Here are some Pictures of Royal enfield Classic. Check out.....

In 1932, the Royal Enfield “Bullet” was originally created in Britain. Now, 76 years later, Royal Enfield's newest model celebrates the look of that early bike.

Built by Royal Enfield in India, the new Bullet 500 Classic, homologated for Euro III norms, harks back to the 'G2' Bullet of the early 1950s, retaining the quintessential classic British style that is inextricably linked to the Royal Enfield name.

Royal Enfield motorcycles are distributed in the United States by Classic Motorworks of Faribault, Minn. The four models of Royal Enfield currently sold by Classic Motorworks start between $5,349 and $5,745.

Classic Motorworks says it hopes to have the new Bullet 500 Classic in the U.S. by late spring. The unit is currently undergoing EPA testing. “We don't anticipate any problems because the bike runs so clean,” says Kevin Mahoney, president, Classic Motorworks.

Mahoney says pricing is not yet set, but that the bike will likely cost more than Royal Enfield’s current models given the increased cost of production. “It will be less than any other similar new vintage-type bike and more than our current models but it may depend upon where the dollar settles out in relation to the Rupee,” he tells Dealernews.

Classic Motorworks recently named Napalm Motorsports, LLC of Austin, Texas, as the brand’s top dealer in the U.S. Napalm has been selling the Royal Enfield brand for only 11 months.

BULLET 500 CLASSIC SPECIFICATIONS

Engine: 499cc air-cooled single-cylinder, four-stroke OHV

Roomster

2008-10-08T01:12:00.000-07:00

The Roomster will be produced in India in the C segment and attract a price tag of Rs 8-10 lakh. This would pitch it against existing segment leader Toyota Innova, Chevrolet Tavera and Tata Grande Sumo.Its a good move for Skoda, as they are planning for a small car, MUV and an SUV , But they wont do it for a low Price. This MUV will be certainly priced above +11L. Effectively two cars in one, the Roomster hits the spot, both as an MPV and a hatchback.

The front end features the 'new face' of SkodaAuto, with a large front grille flanked by pronounced ribs, more in keeping with the more common of the Volkswagen Group brands. The wraparound-effect windscreen has been retained from the original design, made possible by black A-pillars, which give the impression of a single-piece windscreen and front windows. The end of the front half of the car is finished off by an upward sweep of the window frames at the B-pillars, just above the door handles. The window-line of the rear half is lower than those in the front. The C-pillars incorporating the rear door frames are also black and disguise the integrated door handles. This part of the car is altogether more squared with a flat and wide tailgate finishing off the effect.

Skoda is considering the launch of its fresh new Roomster crossover in India. The car has only recently been put into production by the company in the Czech Republic. A feasibility study is currently underway and the company is setting targets and deciding on methods of assembly. Putting the Roomster on sale in the Indian market will be a big challenge for Skoda. Also its success in our market is far from certain, considering that Indian car buyers have already rejected MPV-like cars such as the Ford Fusion. The Roomster is a uniquely packaged and radically styled family vehicle that has the look and proportions of an SUV and the space of a mini MPV.

The Roomster breaks new ground in several areas. Unlike MPVs or mono-volume cars that attempt maximising passenger space by using a cabin-foward nose section, the Roomster has a prominent bonnet. It doesn’t comply with the three row seating arrangement of this class of vehicle either. Seating is for four or five and flexible; Skoda calls it Vario-Flex, with the rear seats being movable by up to 750mm. Since the Roomster is built on a long, 2.7 metre wheelbase, space between the wheels is very generous despite the short overall 4.2 metre length. In fact, the Roomster almost qualifies for small car excise reduction in India as its overall length is just above the four metre mark.

Further, with its wheels pushed out at all four corners, there is a huge amount of interior space for passengers despite the flat nose. Styling is a funky mix of curves, which gives the Roomster a really modern feel. BMW-like flame surfacing finish on the body panels makes it a flowing organic sight, but with sharp edges to offset. The heavily raked front windscreen and windows are flush mounted and combine to look like a single element, giving a pillar- less effect, with the curved roof and upturned door sills adding to this effect. The Roomster also has particularly tall side glass windows, which add to an airy feel and the new version of the Skoda grille looks great.

The central roof spine and long twin sunroofs, which gave the concept version of the Roomster a lot of freshness are missing from the production version. Built on the Fabia platform, the Roomster uses the semi-independent rear suspension of the Octavia which means a simple beam axle setup that takes up less space than the independent set-up of the Laura. While the Roomster uses engines similar to its sibling, the Fabia — for India, it is likely to be powered by the 1.9-litre 90bhp diesel engine from the Octavia. The Roomster is certainly a unique new addition to the Skoda line-up. The big question is this — are Indian buyers mature enough for a radical design like this?
