One can only dream of owning those cars. I really think that you will be disappointed by all the diesel cars here since you have driven all the petrol cars that too with mods.. I would say go for the 640 GC as i just saw ur post saying it would be either 328 or the GC... And the white truck is my fortuner . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyzelda Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Mate, White Fortuner rocks, if at all you are into it, try doing a Matt White Wrap, will give your car some crazy presence, and perhaps wrap the wheels Matt Black / Chrome Thanks for the comments, problem is we are moving our home, and damn the construction workers keep delaying the place for us to move in, am going to Austria next week (Work Permitting) to test drive the Mercedes-Benz G63, it's all paid for by Mercedes India if I choose to go, but that car while it has the greatest presence as an automobile has some serious issues in terms of ride and water leakage, but will speak to them on how it's sorted with the 2012 models, but again being a CBU it makes it harder for me to convince the head to go ahead, but really think the BMW 530d is perhaps the best daily car for India, or the next choice will be the new Mercedes ML350 CDI or the Toyota Fortuner. well i can u have a very good choice..

And Yea i saw the new G63 on the net. nothing new just a bit of refresh. there is one in our city and the owners hotel is opposite to our office and we see it daily.. Its a treat to the ears every time it passes by. You have F10 or the E60 5er ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyzelda Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 F10 Mate, Hated the E60, Honestly come from a era where a car was defined by the world Mercedes, but haven't been too fond of their new cars, but hoping it will all change with the upcoming W222 S-Class, Yes the G55 had a wonderful sound just like every other AMGs it's pretty crazy, I have got the front bumper painted white, which makes it look even bigger, also got a very special number on it will post the pic in a while.

ACIDICBRAT Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Congrats man, By TSI you mean 1.6 engine ?? Thanks man, It would be mostly 1.2TSI Putting out 105bhp, it will be turbocharged, so an easy ecu remap and stuff can make it cross 140bhp easily, and thats great for a hatch, nothing is confirmed though..

Babyzelda Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 TAZ, It will only be the 1.2 TSI Sucks cause the max engine size available in Polo is the 1.4TSI globally, and which is only in the GTi, and am pretty certain we will Not get the GTi Am hoping they at least get the 1.2 TSI in DSG variant will be a perfect city car for India. Or even better would be the 1.6 TDI DSG, but for a company like VW India and it's management thats a long wishful thinking. Congrats man, By TSI you mean 1.6 engine ??

Babyzelda Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes 1.2 has a torque kick in at an earlier RPM which might help in city traffic but then the 1.4 kicks in from 2000 compared to 1550 in the 1.2 TSI, which itself isn't too bad but the out right fun is really noticeable, and there is a huge bhp gain, and almost 75Nm extra torque, but heck man in this damn country where we have no choices in terms of hatchback's any of them would be a good start and hopefully others will follow and the bar be raised, I hope DSG is at least an option in the 1.2 TSI (India Spec) Mercedes & BMW have good plans for the A and 1. But low end torque etc. is why I seriously wish 1.6TDI would make it here, best part is VW already has that engine in the Vento / Rapid so I don't know why can they just not get that in. And with this diesel crazy country it can satisfy best of both worlds, just like the BMW 530d does. 1.2TSI Engine is Better than 1.4TSI Since low end torque kicks in very early in the 1.2Tsi which makes driving in city very comfortable, 1.2TSI is anyways expected in India by next year not before that.
