Year 2007 will definitely bring with it more traffic jams, for 18 new cars are expected to be launched during the next 12 months, starting January.
Among the brand new passenger cars expected to roll out, the most awaited is the Mahindra Renault Logan, which is likely to hit the road by April. Experts believe the entry level C-segment notchback would shake up the category with a fiercely competitive price tag of Rs 4.5-5 lakh.
General Motors is vying for a bigger pie of the small car segment with the Chevrolet Spark. Also slated for an April launch, the Chevy Spark is the refurbished version of Daewoo Matiz.
