Riding a cheetah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indian SUV manufacturer, Mahindra, has come up with a new SUV – XUV500.  It is supposed to be the most advanced and beautiful SUV from the makers till date.  The design is inspired by cheetah – the African wildcat.  After seeing it on the road, it seems that the design team has taken the inspiration literally!

The Sixth Seat

I am surprised that the last blog I posted was in 2011!!  There can’t be any slower blog than this.  Anyway, comparing the interior design of cars today to yesteryears. A major difference is the front bench seat in older cars vs bucket seats (individual) in today’s cars. I can’t comment on the technical merit of the change but surely modern cars can seat one person less.  In countries like India where car-pooling is promoted these days to save fuel, wouldn’t it be prudent to accommodate six people in a car instead of five in the same foot print.
