September 7th, 2011

Buying a car is an important decision for middle class Indians. People take their own sweet time to decide on buying a car after due diligence.

In fact decision to buy cars should be taken with care. Now a days there are many websites that help people buy a car with their extensive information on cars available in India today. They have lots of stuff on their site to attract users. They also have city specific information like details about Delhi cars or Hyderabad cars.

Another dilemma for most people is to decide about buying a second hand car or going for a new car. There is a big used car market in India today. A lot of rich people buy new cars and sell cars after using them for only few months. It is often said that if your are going for your first car it is better to go for an used car. This way, you can sell the car after use any time if your are bored with the car or you feel that the performance of the car leaves much to be desired.

Dozens of press conferences, unveilings of both concepts and new models that are already being manufactured, triumphant speeches and talks on the crises in the industry – all these mix under the roof of the Paris Expo.

And, if eco friendly is what you’re looking for, then walk no further then Renault’s exhibit. The French manufacturer seems to take the cake when it comes to green cars that actually work in the real world: the ZOE, Kangoo ZE and Fluence ZE are all full electric cars with zero emissions. And if were talking about electric cars we can’t move further without mentioning Peugeot’s tiny ION and Mitsubishi’s MIEV.

But not all manufacturers went for full electric zero emission cars. BMW, Mercedes, Citroen and Volkswagen are fighting a battle against pollution by trying to make their current engines cleaner and more fuel efficient.

But let’s admit it: the supercars with hundreds of horse power under the bonnet are still every driver’s dream. Everyone was looking at the electric cars but were only taking pictures of the shiny stylish road rockets such as the Audi R8 GT, Mercedes CL63 AMG and Maserati GranTurismo GT. I mean honestly, who dreams about cruising on twisty mountain roads in an electrical Smart ForTwo? » Read more: The Paris Motor Show – Did the Electrical Car Take the Cake?
