Hindustan Motors New Cars - User Reviews
Delhi, winters of 1991 was the time we had a new member in our family..our beloved 'ambassador'. Though the car was a second hand drive, it was a pleasure to ride. We had this car when there existed no power windows, no ac's, no cd changers...but the wide spacious interiors, small rotating fan and that sound of the diesel engine gave us enough pleasure! Loved spending my sunday mornings with dad fine tuning the BEAST, and my act of the play was to press the accelerator whenever asked to without touching the 'Bus Wala Gear' (ya that's what i used to call it, i had never seen a family car having a gear handle this big!) Till date ambassador has been the best value for money car and the first choice to opt. for incase you are buying a second hand vehicle provided curves 'n chrome are not your first preferences! Build and power of this beast is incomparable.
Ambassador --The best product of Hindustan Motors was perhaps the best luxury car before Maruti and Tata venturd into Automobile Industry. Still now it is first preferrence for many Government servants as well as common man. Even in Kolkata the TAXIs are run on Ambassador. Over the year it has lost its shine and glory but acceptance have not dwindled. The best part of the car is the comfort zone.Its seats are quite cosy and comfortable.Its also a fuel efficient car considering other cars on market. Though now a low profile but the pick up power is still comparable with modern car models But there are negative points also like Music System is not good and also AC is not up to the mark.

The Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers (SIAM) has released a White Paper today, strongly opposing the proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the European Union.

SIAM’s contention is that such a move will adversely impact domestic car manufacturers.
