For performance car lovers, there’s the Mercedes-AMG GT S, Ford Mustang, Audi S5 and Abarth-powered Avventura, and as a special treat, we lined up all ten AMG models sold in India on a runway and let them loose. Also inside is a first drive of the Honda BR-V, the latest line-up of Triumph Bonnevilles and the newest set of Avenger cruisers from Bajaj.
     
    2016 Toyota Innova
     
    Since its launch in 2005, the Toyota Innova has remained the undisputed champion of the MPV segment in India, despite it becoming increasingly expensive over time.

    VW Beetle
     
    The last ‘new’ Beetle, despite its famous heritage and retro appeal, failed to make a mark in India, thanks to its big price tag and somewhat effeminate looks. But next year, the ‘new new’ Beetle will be coming in to make amends, and we’ve driven it.
