Vespa is Back!


Vespa is Back!
Vespa plans to revisit india’s burgeoning scooter market with the LX 125, its first premium offering.




The name Vespa strikes a chord in the Indian market. The Italian two and three wheeler manufacturer’s successful collaboration with LML for geared scooters was quite the story. But the joint venture with LML broke up in 1999 and it wasn’t until eight years later that piaggio announced plans to reenter our market with a spanking new factility in Baramati that Vespa resurfaced. 

India will be the third country in the world, after Italy and viteman, to manufacturre these scooters. Considering the fact that the Indian two wheeler market is seeing ever growing demand for automatic scoters, there’s always room for another manufacturer to spread its wares.
Piaggio’s first scooter for india will be the automatic LX 125, set to arrive in 2012. The vespa LX 125 is a classic model, paying tribute to the original 1946 vespa with its retro styling. It is compact scooter, sporting well rounded curves and a cute, round headlamp which is flanked by chrome rearview mirrors.
 


The front apron sports a centre cowl, reminiscent of scooters from the past, apart from a chrome grille that houses the horn. The front apron is otherwise clean, smooth and incorporates a set of tall, rectangular indicators. An angular front mudguard guards the front suspension and five-spoke alloys.

Jaguar’s new small saloon:


Jaguar’s new small saloon:
Jaguar has confirmed that it is working on a new small saloon that will be placed a segment below the XF.





According to company insiders, the new car will be slightly smaller than the current XF saloon, yet big enough to accommodate five adults. There is no news yet on whether the car will be built around an aluminum platform. However, the replacement for the XF will almost certainly be made from aluminum, will grow in size and will move slightly further up market.

An all-wheel drive version of the XJ saloon has also been confirmed and is currently under development. It will be launched in under 24 months time, possibly coinciding with a mild makeover for jauguar’s flagship saloon.
These new projects are part of jaguar’s move to finally have a presence in some of the most important premium market niches. Indeed, the launch of the four-cylinder diesel XF saloon will hugely improve the car’s prospects in markets where sales of the four cylinder diesel models nearly add up to 50 percent.

In the next few days jaguar will launch a 3.0-litre petrol V6 version of the XJ in the booming Chinese market. It’s yet to be seen if this car makes it to india.
