    DRIVING:
    Tata has done a good job by introducing a petrol car with a competitive price tag. However, what TATA Motors has forgotten is that they are offering a petrol car in the small segment and not a truck or dumper. The Indica was initially designed by IDEA if i remember. The body shape was then termed as BEAN shaped. Till then the story was great. Then came in the in-house designers of TATA motors who decided to give the Indica a desi face lift. They gave INDICA a new delicate looking grill instead of the earlier muscular one, they gave Indica outsized and sharp edged Wheel Arch Flairs and side skirting and also redesigned the tail lamps in a funny manner.After all this heavy facelift, the car still has the same old SKINNY tyres. So now we have an OBESE AND LAZY OLD WOMAN WITH WEAK KNEES and TATA motors is trying to capture the petrol market by telling us that it is fuel efficient and fast ! BIG JOKE May be it is but can it compete with the agile and trendy looking Santro and Wagon R ? The answer is NO ! Inspite of flooding the newspapers and television with advertisements of the XETA, there are very few seen on the roads. I would say that i have seen most number of XETA's in advertisements rather on the roads. TATA motors should should understand what the people want in a small car. The car should give the feeling of owning a big car but at the same time it should'nt look obese like the INDICA. The indica should look sturdy, agile, quick, trendy, alert and handsome. Todays Indica looks like a obese old woman who tries to look beautiful by appying layers of Make-up. GIVE US SOME CHANGE TATA MOTORS, GIVE US SOMETHING THAT WE WANT NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE US !luxurious interiors for a small car, sturdy, competively pricedoutsized wheel arch flairs and body skirting, small and skinny tyres, obese and lazy appearing car
