yeah!.. I wanted the SX4 to win, but i guess it must’ve lost at fuel efficiency.
The Logan should’ve won!! It scores everywer!!
I think they should know that the best bike really should have been either yamaha r15 or fz-16 as these two bikes give us a glimpse of the future. But as usual in India. Quality is ignored. I think we should try and change our mentality of “sasta hai toh accha hai” and respect innovations. I think these awards were judged by a bunch of miser fools…..
Maruti is still looked as a popular brand in India. But I am happy that HONDA won the best executive award…. Even BAJAJ ruled the bike segment………. Great….
No award for TATA Nano guys?????? their must be motivation to develop cars with cheaper rates…….
Chevrolet Optra Magnum – Best Car Variant…. Deserves it…
