2009 - The year of launches!

It is heartening to see car manufacturers in India are not stopping their launches in 2009 inspite of the economic slowdown. The launches of Fiat Linea, Hyundai i20, Mahindra Xylo is just the beginning. There will be huge introductions and revamps made by Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Tata, Ford, Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki and almost every other manufacturer one can recall. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that petty issues don't play spoilsport. The wait continues....

Wishing all a very happy new year!
