Rolls Royce's Ghost coming to India in 2010

British super-luxury car manufacturer Rolls Royce unveiled an all-new, premium saloon model — the Ghost — priced at about Rs 2.5 crore. It will come to India in the second quarter of 2010.

Two months after its international debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the Ghost comes to India. This car is smaller and lighter by 190 kg than its big brother, the Phantom, and is priced at Rs 2.5 crore. The four-door saloon is powered by a 6.6 litre V12 engine and does 100 kmph in less than five seconds.

The company says that the Ghost is more informal and casual than the phantom — more like an everyday car. It took four and a half years in developing this car and the interiors of the car use Malabar wood sourced from Kerala.

The BMW group company expects to sell about 50-60 units of the Ghost in 2010 although delivery would take three-four months.

Volkswagen Beetle launched in India at Rs 21 lakh

It’s a big launch from Volkswagen. The new edition of the Beetle car is now in India.

The New Beetle has been launched with 115 bhp, 2.0-litre petrol engine. Adding to the comfort and ease of use will be the 6-speed automatic gearbox. The charm and appeal of the New Beetle nevertheless remains with its classic styling, inspired by the original people?s car that went on to become the best selling car of a single design in the world in its decades long run.

The New Beetle was introduced internationally in 1998 and has been a success ever since. In fact it was the car that can be credited with kicking off the retro-chic segment, in which modern and comfortable interpretations of long standing classic cars are making a rapid resurgence as fashion statements. Amongst these are the MINIs, and the Fiat 500 which is already on sale in India.

Beetle is a very popular car. It has finally been launched in India. It will give competition to the Fiat 500, which has received with quite a good response with the consumers now. We were expecting the Beetle to be priced anywhere between Rs 15-20 lakh. It is priced at Rs 21 lakh for Delhi. However, it would costlier in Mumbai.

The company Volkswagen has also surprised us with another launch which is of the Touareg SUV. It will cost about Rs 52 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. Hence, there are two big launches coming in from Volkswagen. They are betting big as far as the numbers are concerned.

While the company is tight-lipped, they are hoping to do about 500 units a year. This is quite an ambitious target as far as Beetle sales are concerned. Right now, it has manufactured only in Mexico from all over the world. The company says that if they touch about 2,000 units a year, they will look at a possibility of assembling it here in India.

Love Dress

A woman stopped by unannounced at her recently married son's house. She rang the doorbell and walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing; the aroma of perfume filled the room.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered.

"But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed.

"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.

"Love dress? But you're naked!"

"My husband loves me to wear this dress," she explained.

"It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can't get enough of me."

The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD and laid on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her laying there so provocatively.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"This is my love dress" she whispered, sensually.

"Then it Needs ironing," he said.
