2010 Nissan's latest Micra supermini

Nissan reveals all-new Micra supermini at Geneva

British Built And Funky With It, Nissans Latest Micra 1.0 Is Sure To Be Popular. By Andy Enright

Stop for a moment and think about what buyers look for when shopping for a supermini car. Nissan did. They decided that because buyers wanted a small car, there was little point in making a large one. It seems obvious but its a lesson that has escaped many manufacturers.

Customers were interested in making a style statement but still wanted reliability, practicality and all those other boring things without appearing boring. The car that Nissan have produced redefines the way we look at the supermini class. The Micra 1.0 models bring affordability and style together in a neat package.

Value Manufacturers in this class have long had an obsession with maximising the amount of internal space. The Japanese have been some of the worst culprits in this instance. Who cares if theres enough room to seat Shaquille ONeal in the back seat if your car ends up looking about as attractive as a dumpster? Given that most of the time we use the rear seats of our superminis for the kids or to sling shopping or jackets onto, most buyers would sacrifice ultimate space for a stylish profile at least thats what Nissan is banking on. The asking price to get behind the wheel of one of the most distinctive supermini shapes for years isnt exorbitant.

The three-door 1.0 E model opens at £7,795 although youll need to fork out another £650 for the five-door version. This trim level is the only one available with the 1.0-litre engine, although the next variant up - the 1.

2-litre S - is, model for model, only £555 extra.

Tata Venture to be launched soon

One of Tata’s new model assaults, the Venture van that was shown at the Auto Expo 2010 will be launched before the end of CY 2010. The Venture is based on the rugged body on frame design of the Super Ace 1.0 Tonne pickup truck. Its party piece will be interior space – Coming in three seating arrangements – 5,7 and 8, the Venture is set to give Maruti’s Omni and Eeco sleepless nights. To make the deal sweeter, the Venture will come with a tried and tested 1.4L turbocharged diesel engine from the Indica producing 70bhp.

Apart from interior room, the Venture will also score highly in value for money – It is expected to start at just Rs 4.5 lakhs and will go up against Mahindra’s upcoming passenger variant of the Mahindra Maxximo. So how did they make it? You see, the Venture is under 4000mm long and sports a 1.4L diesel engine meaning it attracts lesser taxes. It will be the most spacious vehicle within the 4000mm mark as its van like body style will make maximum use of available space. To go up against hatchbacks, the Venture is aimed at large families looking for value for money transportation. We quite think that the Venture could be come an instant hit with cabbies if  Tata open up to them.

Creature comforts include twin air conditioning (on top models) sporting roof mounted ducts for rear passengers and plug-in windows for the second row. Power steering, power windows, parking aids, keyless entry, engine immobiliser, rear wash/wipe are some of the options that will be available on the Venture. Since this is a van lacking any sort of protection from front impact, we expect strong beams and optional airbags. Collapsible steering and side impact beams will be standard.

At Wheelosphere, we have been impressed by Tata’s new model onslaught and mentioned this several times. The Venture, like the 5-seat Xylo will take on the current crop of hatchbacks but will appeal to a different kind of audience. It is sure to appeal to many and will help Tata maintain their second position. Tata seem to be churning out many winners these days.

New Bentley Continental GT Supersports

New Bentley Continental GT Supersports

2010 Bentley Continental GT Supersports The Continental GT Supersports is the fastest, most powerful Bentley ever built. It can also run on ethanol, for reduced carbon emissions. Bentley Motors Bentley’s comeback-kid Continental GT, introduced in 2004, was better known as a grand tourer than a jagged-edged racetrack scamp. Then came the GT Speed, which added more power and nimble road manners, and it became the first Bentley to reach over 200 miles per hour. Then, a 24-month skunkworks project yielded the Supersport, an even more powerful variant that’s also lighter and, set up to run on ethanol – large quantities of it - emits less CO2.

Of course, only the most passionate lovers of internal-combustion engines might cut Bentley slack for kicking off an environmental sensitivity project with a fuel-swilling, neck-snapping bruiser of a sports car. But the Volkswagen-owned company has committed to cutting carbon emissions, and you can't deny the Supersports is a conversation starter in that regard. Bentley says using biofuel in the Supersports sums to 70 percent less emissions "well to wheels," which takes into account all the CO2s emitted as fossil fuels go from primordial ooze to food for supercars.

Plus, since the average Bentley owner has six other cars in his garage to choose from, a typical model logs just 8,000 miles a year. It's possible one of those cars in heavier rotation might be a Prius, or a bicycle.
