Hyundai EON spied inside out without camouflage

     We managed to find these pictures of red Hyundai EON on a blog anything-on-wheels.blogspot.com. This is the first time that the interiors of EON have been seen in the digital world. The red EON looks simply fabulous with its flowing creases evident more in this colour. The interiors especially have been designed brilliantly which again reflect Hyundai’s fluidic design theme. Such interiors in its class is the first time, we know everybody has got bored with the Alto’s interior.


     We in our earlier post had mentioned that the EON has been over designed. But looking the car in red colour we will have to take back our words. EON in red looks like a small beauty and the interiors are fantastic. It is the price now which we are waiting. If Hyundai is really planning to compete with Alto, EON has no competition.

New Honda City 2011 launched in Thailand

     The new Honda City 2011 that is the facelifted Honda City has been launched in Thailand. To remind, we had posted some spy pictures of Honda City facelift being tested in India. Honda had announced that it will give a facelift to not much old Honda City which was launched just three years ago to make the car look fresh and stay ahead in the competition.

     Honda City has been the benchmark car in India since its launch way back in 1998. However the dominance of City was challenged by new entrants like Volkswagen Vento and Hyundai Fluidic Verna. A lack of diesel option and rising petrol prices made City to lose its battle ground and made Honda to cut its prices by over Rs. 60,000. With the refreshed look Honda wants to get back into the competition. But still Honda has to think about its pricing strategies in India. What do you feel?


     We found the new Honda City 2011 video. Watch it and enjoy!
