Indian car enthusiast is beaming the biggest smile ever :D and this looks like just the beginning!
Last week Audi unveiled the gleaming new A4 sedan, with its distinct LED trimmed headlights in Mumbai recently. Apart from the A4 sedan, there were oodles of glam quotient added to the event with a special fashion show and celebrities like former cricketer Ravi 'Audi' Shastri and actor John Abraham gracing the occasion. Ravi shared his experiences of winning an Audi at the Cricket World Cup back in 1985 and of course admitted that he drives a Q7 now.

Audi India commenced its business activities in 2007 and already has a set of drool-inspiring (OR super sexy) range of models – the Audi A8, Audi Q7, Audi A6, Audi A4 and Audi TT.

The Volkswagen Jetta - With doors wide open for India

The Volkswagen has some serious intention of kicking a$$ of the Japanese automakers. For Rs 12.99 lakhs ex-showroom New Delhi, the Jetta is targeted at the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and sibling Skoda Laura. We'll have to wait and see how deep can the Jetta bite into the Japanese pie ;)
