The rim bending issue in the first gen Indica is not just due to weight or small tyres. Its also got to do with how the wheels sat. Or say Camber settings.

And the nose dive is due to the suspension settings. The superb ride quality is to blame here. Its like you win some you lose some. If you want both, then use hi-tech computer controlled suspension, which will raise the price of the car (atleast a decade or 2 away from being economically viable for small cars).[;)]

Hello all
Comparing dimensions-the Tigor is longer than the Bolt, but shorter than the Zest and a bit narrower than both
Its power appears a little less than comparative bolt and zest for base petrol
Given this, though it may be technically far superior i am confused hoe they will price this-lower than Zest and more than the Bolt? Lower than the Bolt as well
Either way i see this canibazing some of the Zest, Bolt and Tiago
What will happen to the Indigo ECS-will that be stopped? This was the replacement and with the BS4 norms coming looks like that will happen?

In near future, all Indica and Indigo platforms will be scrapped and only Three/four platforms will serve until AMP & Q5 platforms will come in production:

X0 (version II) - Tiago & Tigor
X1 - Bolt, Zest & Nexon
X2 - Safari, Hexa & Xenon
Moflex sandwich - Racemo, c-concept --- Tamo Subbrand

Rest all will be dropped in next one year or so.

Looks to be a great line-up of products under Tata stable. Couple of things missing are the premium hatch back and a C2 sedan. I sincerely feel Tata should design Zest as a full blown Sedan rather than a compact Sedan. It has one of the best ride qualities in the CS space, which it can take into C2 territory. With the engines being built in-house, it can give other rivals a run for the money, at a more "reasonable" price. The Tigor can always have the in-house 1.5 Diesel, in a detuned form, which Nexon gets as a facelift, so it can take Zest's place in the CS space. Overall exciting times ahead for Tata Motors and its fans.

Sometimes these media people are too much. On one hand they say that as a family mover the car is good but if you red line then too much of NVH levels. I don't understand which car becomes quieter as you step on the gas and increase the RPM levels? I think they should apply some logic before making such comments. How many people does red lining on a regular basis? If people use car for family and city driving purpose there is no need for taking to 6000 RPM. Atleast i haven't done this so called 'red lining' ever since i started driving 14 years back.
I agree entirely! Many of the stringers masquerading as auto correspondents/journalists in the popular media (including the print media) know less about cars than I know about neuro-surgery! And as I've mentioned elsewhere in these pages, paid news is not unheard of either. Which is why I've more faith in these pages than in other, ostensibly, more respectable publications!

I think as of now Tata cannot sell C2 sedan with the kind of brand perception it shares in the market.

So its good to remain silent in C2 Sedan & premium hatch segment till the time they see success with Nexon & Tigor and win the heart of customers and continue working on Q5 products however I can think of one project which is Tigor XL with 1.5 litre engine and few changes like - new headlamps, same bumper as geneva show edition and 4.2 metre dimension to give complete look to it and a new hit product is in hands[;)]

I would rather say make a new product. Tata had a bad name because of reusing Indica type parts/panels in everything even in Aria. Don't want Tata to do with Tiago this time even if its more expensive for them. A new fresh product in the premium sedan segment but not now. When the other products become accepted and the brand name has improved to a good extent. Definitely the brand image has improved to a certain extent. Just hope the Service Centers don't play a spoil sport after the products have become so good.

That's why I said Tigor XL not a C2 sedan. Tigor XL would be another variant to add up to the lineup with better engine and complete style back(fastback) design. That's it. No need to change anything else[;)] Maybe a bigger touchscreen as well[glasses]

"While from the comparison on paper, the Tigor stands near equal to the segment, it will not be positioned alongside the rest. Tata plans to position the model under its Zest compact sedan placing the Tigor half a segment lower than the rest of the competition. A direct rival will only come in the form of Chevrolet’s first compact sedan, the Beat Essentia which is expected to launch sometime later this year"

Also watch the interview with Hormazd and Mayank Pareek about the Tigor and TML in general-well now i am hopeful[clap]

Friends,
We are attending the official launch of TATA Tigor in Delhi on 29th March. Detailed Coverage of the same is assured as always.[:)]
Regards
Akash
Way to go, Akash! Looking forward to the coverage as always.

I'm sure there are others on our forum who share your admiration for the Autocar brigade. Speaking personally, I feel that there are other auto journalists out there, who, tho' maintaining a lower profile, know there subject a good deal better!

Today Morning spotted this TATA TIGOR...wow, what a styleback, it was truly amazing looking car. I really like the rear of the car, person who was on the rear seat was seated like a boss..lot of leg space and relaxed position.

My friend booked tigor by giving 5000 Rs booking amount in concord Pune on 23rd March. Sale representative said this is first booking in there showroom.
