- Honda plans to introduce diesel variants across its range in India and will launch diesel Brio and Jazz by end of this year. As a part of long-term strategy, the company also plans to establish and develop an engine facility in India to cater to the global markets.


- Most manufacturers are relieved that the government has refrained from imposing additional taxes on diesel cars – although, not very happy about the increase in Excise duty that has affected prices across segments. More importantly, the manufacturers now plan to proceed with their plans to step-up investment in diesel facilities to increase production.


- We have see loads of stuff with Angry Birds branding including the mugs, t-shirts, keychains, dolls etc. But this time they have sling-shot a lot further and directly onto the Formula 1 grid! Rovio Entertainment has sponsored Heikki Kovalainen and Caterham racing for the 2012 F1 season– and the Finn driver will be seen sporting Angry Birds themed helmet most of the season.

- Audi will launch the new TT in India this Friday, March 23 in Mumbai. We are waiting to find out, if only the coupe version will be made available here or Audi will offer the entire range of TTs including the Roadster and RS variants.


- Toyota FT86 and Subaru BRZ generated lot of interest when they were unveiled last year. The identical rear-wheel drive sports cars were jointly developed by the Japanese manufacturers and have now gone into production at the Subaru facility in Japan.
