It sure is the good old Amby. I personally love the rear seat but nothing more than that. I really wish to see the Ambassador get modern, something which was done with the MINI or the FIAT 500, 'but' and its a big 'but' if the Grand Dad of Indian cars is going to go through this metamorphosis.
Cheers!!!

From my side,it has to be Ambassador as first,then M 800,Premier Padmini,and Indica.
It will always be the Ambassador.![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")
What I like about it is all that space and comfort at the rear. What I hate was its reliability factor,but still it was pretty good for its time. And back in the days an Ambassador meant Prestige and status and a Fiat was a performance car.

It has to be the Ambassador. It still has rear space that can put many cars to shame!!

It's the ambassador for me too. It's the car that has been on Indian roads for a long time and I get nostalgic when I think of the ambassador. A lot of tourists who come to India, travel in the ambassador because they consider it to be India's pride.
IMO, the 3 cars that actually represent India the most are the Tata Nano, Sumo and Mahindra Scorpio. They are the indegenous cars that've made their mark on the world. (That doesn't could the sumo :P)
