A little heart of gold

Read more: A little heart of gold You would think that a car of the size and demeanour of the A6 needed a large engine. What would you make of its 2.0-litre unit then? We put the small 4-pot through its paces

Author: Raj Warrior   Photography: Raj Warrior

The Audi A6 in its new guise is targeted at the segment that the A8 traditionally used to look at – highly paid professionals and rich go-getters who love to drive their own cars. We have tested the A6 before, albeit with a larger engine and the aluminium enriched body has enthralled our test team.

When a product rescues a marque

Read more: When  a product rescues  a marque Peugeot needed a car like the 508 for sometime now in the GCC region. After all, how many hatchbacks can they sell? We test the 508 and assess whether the marque has met its new mark.

For a car market like the GCC a large sedan is a perfect fit. But that is hardly the case in some markets like France, where the station wagon or combi tends to take the bulk of sales of large floorpan vehicles, while the hatchback rules in smaller footprints.

Ready to entertain

Read more: Ready to entertainThe genre of two seater sports cars just got a lot more fun with the RCZ. And it’s not quite a two-seater to begin with.

 Author Raj Warrior Photography: Raj Warrior

It is easy to wax eloquent on a car that belongs to a category that is a personal favourite. I have grown up on a staple of the quintessential British sportscar - even witnessing the putative demise of the once iconic breed. The formula was simple enough.

On a Malibu High

Read more: On a Malibu HighA quick turn-around and some great product launches later, GM’s signature Chevrolet brand now brings in the eighth-generation Malibu to take the competition to the midsize leaders

Author : Raj Warrior

You may think that everyone in town seems to be buying an SUV these days, but the midsize car segment doesn’t look like its losing its importance at all. For years the segment was defined, depending on the market you were in, by the Camry, Accord, Mazda 6 and the Altima.
