Tata Indica Vista QuadraJet road test : Reaching New Horizons

Introduction

In the beginning there was a dream. A dream by a man with the vision to give us Indians a car with the seating comfort of an Ambassador for five people and the running economy of an 800 at the price of a small car. This dream realized itself as the Indica. Then came the V2 with improvements, the Indicab, the turbodiesel, the DiCOR, and many more variants. All of a sudden, there were rumors of a new Indica and the spy photographers posted their finds on the web. India went crazy; after all, the Indica was the first car designed for Indians by an Indian company from the ground up. The new Indica was showcased at the Auto Expo in Delhi 2008, and everyone wanted to drive it. However, time passed and the hype died down. People found other cars to get excited about. Eight months after the Auto Expo, the Indica Vista has been launched and promises to upset more than a few apple-carts.
