In order to reach the zenith everyone has to face a few obstacles and so is the case with the world's cheapest car Tata Nano. Earlier we had informed you about the two fire accidents that Nano encountered one on the roads of Mumbai and the second one in Vadodra.

This time the car mysteriously caught fire on the busy roads of the capital on 27 August 2010 and has once again raised the temperature of the ongoing discussions on the car's safety aspects. Even though the official previously denied of any loop holes in the car's design and claimed it as a safe vehicle but this incident again brought the topic into the limelight.

Such accidents does make the "Common Man" question the car's reliability and the fact that its an ultra low cost car would make it difficult for all middle class people to believe that it would be safe. We wish to hear some official word from the company on this series of fire accidents, so as to bring some transparency.

Skoda Fabia facelifted edition uncovered at the Geneva Motor Show 2010 earlier this year is soon to make its entry in Indian auto market in the month of October 2010. This premium hatchback has never done magical sales numbers in India because of its pricing, but the kind of features and quality it offers, it seems that it has been designed for a smaller premium segment of customers when it comes to Indian buyers.

The facelifted version will not only have cosmetic uplifts but also a new powerhouse, the sporty and more powerful and efficient diesel engine from parent Volkswagen. The Volkswagen 1.2 Litre CRDI Diesel engine which powers the Volkswagen Polo Diesel will power the Skoda Fabia facelifted edition to be launched in India.

The new 1.2 Litre engine not only gives more power (74 BHP) when compared to the old 1.4 Litre TDI diesel engine of Fabia, but also is more fuel efficient and low on displacement with cleaner emissions. We are keeping a close watch on Upcoming Skoda Cars which includes 4 new cars viz. New Fabia, Skoda Yeti SUV, New Sedan and and new small car or Skoda Joyster in India in a span of next two years.
