Licensed to Thrill
I was handed over the keys to a Fiat Linea 125-S on a rather quiet Wednesday afternoon. At the time, I never fathomed that a quaint looking sedan could change what seemed to be an extremely long day into an incredibly thrilling one.

Pace & Panache
In the land of ‘yeh dil mange more’ it is never a bad idea to add more to what is already being offered and the Italian motorcycle maker Aprilia has learned that quickly. Their first crossover scooter in India, the SR 150 was warmly received due to its unparalleled performance and cutting edge looks. But then I guess someone somewhere said that they don’t just want their SR 150 to go fast but also scream that it does so. Thus we got the new SR 150 Race, donning the RS-GP inspired graphics.

Standing Tall
To “stand tall” means to behave in a brave, proud, or unyielding manner. The new Volvo XC60 exhibits precisely those attributes; it’s a brave product taking on the German flotilla of SUVs, it’s proud of its Scandinavian origin and it is uncompromising when it comes to safety, driveability and comfort. We check out the car to make sure we are right in our views. Volvo Auto India is bringing in the new Volvo XC 60 in one and only one variant --- the D5 Inscription model.

Starry Eyed
The 162.71cc engine on the X Blade is shared with the Unicorn and the Hornet. So naturally the engine is well tuned for city riding and it feels very refined. The bike feels very quick and that has been helped by the relatively less kerb weight of 140ks.
