Spy Shot – Next Gen Hyundai Verna/Accent

Does this maroonish beauty look like the current Verna you see on the Indian roads? Not by any chance, no? This was caught during a commercial shoot in Korea's Incheon International Airport. This Verna (codename:RB) has striking similarities to the Elantra and the Sonata YF with the stretched headlamps and steeper windshield. Looking forward to see this stunner in flesh in India!

Spied – New Ford Endeavour Variant in Chennai

IAB published the images of what could be the new variant of the Ford Endeavour in India. The Endeavour spied is said to be the same as the showroom model the only difference being that this one had a “On Test” badge on the rear windshield.

Spied : The New 2012 Mercedes SL

These are the spy pictures of the new Mercedes SL which is undergoing winter testing at Scandinavia. The next generation Mercedes SL, due in 2012, will be one of the first new Mercedes models to feature the firm’s ‘artistic’ new design language.

 

Starting with the new CLS, Mercedes deign chief Gorden Wagener plans to elevate Mercedes design to a more artistic level and previewed some of the design features with the sculpture concept from this month’s Detroit motor show.

Despite the heavy disguise and cladding, the SL spied indicates that the car’s front end will mirror that of the design concept’s including the grille and large badge.

The proportions of the new car are expected to be similar to the current model's, although the use of aluminium in its construction makes it relatively lighter. The engine range is likely to be an evolution of the current model's.

Key components such as the suspension and electrical systems should be shared with the SLS supercar to keep development costs down.

Spied - New Scooter from TVS Spy Pics

TVS Motors is armed and ready with their latest 'big' scooter for India.

The scooter is capable of doing upwards of 80kmph which means it may house a 100cc + engine. The front tyre looks delightfully wide compared to the previous models and even the engine does look bulkier than older models (at least in these pics.), so we hope the scoot is big on power as well.

The rear of the spied scooter resemble a lot to the Honda Activa and although the front looks comparatively tiny, we feel it is using a dummy front body for testing purpose. We reckon the scooter will boast great styling, going by TVS' recent launches and because of the existing competition in the market. The new scooter will compete with Honda Activa, Suzuki Access and the likes. The company which already has two models in the gearless scooter segment, the Scooty Pep and Scooty Streak, is looking at getting a bigger market share in this segment.
