..."...Tata Indigo Manza Unveiling on Oct 14..."...

... i have already posted my first impression of this sedan some time back... however now that it's public knowledge ... going by the reviews on the Internet... it would be safe to provide a refresher on the matter...

...to keep it simple and short ... the sedan is worth it's money... and i guess this is the first sedan from our stable that is designed (styled?) like a sedan... i mean unlike the present Indigo... whose styling appears to me more like an after-thought of adding the boot space to Indica... as if someone in the review meeting pointed out...
"err... what about the suitcase?" ...
"Gee!! gimme a box of cardboard or something!" ...
"Here! what if we stick this at the back of Indica?" ...
"Whoa!! Ladies and Gentlemen! (wait! what ladies?) ... we have a sedan!" ...
"What shall we call it?" ...
"Since we can tell India to GO for long rides ... we will call this as 'Indigo' ..." and Indigo was born...

... however in the case of Manza ... the well flowing C pillar meets the boot and the entire silhouette gives an impression that it was designed like a single entity and not as a 'modular' concept... the dash is refreshing and unlike that of Vista is like a regular car... it's the dials that made my heart skip a beat... they appear smaller yet functional and seductive in black! ... the profile of the dash is similar to that of the Honda Civic sans the glittering of neon lights... also the tail lamps remind me of Chevy's Optra model... the boot is enough for the 'average Indian family' trips...

... i liked the fit-and-finish of the product and in my personal opinion if gentry here is buying the ugly and boxy Suzuki Dezire then they must fall heads over heels for Manza ... i liked the car and had i been searching a C segment car presently i might have given a preference to this sedan... and since i am not... i will keep posting about some more interesting stories ...

... if u do happen to stumble across this blog by some random occurrence of events ... i would appreciate your generosity for comments :) ... and if u do feel like more than that... you are of course welcome! :)
