yoda Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 it is MDI's technology yaar. tatas are just going to bring this technology to life bappi lahari style. anyways, sounds interesting. but what's up the oil change every 30 miles? i can't even get around to oil change for my cars after 3000 or even 5000 miles.

CC1981 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 but what's up the oil change every 30 miles? 30,000 miles- thats what 50,000 Km approximates to- they used a dot instead of a comma- something that European authors have a tendency to do in terms of conventions (they often put a dot or a comma on the top, instead of comma on the bottom).

Mandrake Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 There is also speculation that TATA might take over the Jaguar.... http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/indias-tata-motors-has-fords/story.aspx?guid=%7BF20DCE24-28C2-499C-B9F0-BE169A4D77C9%7D&siteid=yhoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varun Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 You have a Prius ? How is it ? asking out of curiosity. Are hybrid cars any different from conventional ones in terms of performance ? Well I've got the 2007 model that comes with the synergy drive which offers better acceleration. It does 0-60 in around 10 seconds which is kinda comparable to the corolla which does it in 9.
