Wannabe cars of India; From Maruti Vitara Brezza to Jeep Compass, to Bolero-Pajero & more


The Indian car market is full of modified cars. While some of them are modified with elegance and really look unique, many others are modified to look like various other cars. We bring you five such modified cars.

Maruti Vitara Brezza – Jeep Compass


The Maruti Vitara Brezza is the largest selling utility vehicle in India. The sub 4-meter compact SUV has a lot of buyers and many of them have modified the car to look like Land Rovers. After the launch of Jeep Compass in the Indian market, many Vitara Brezza owners have swapped the front grille of the Brezza with the iconic 7-slat grille of the Jeep. It sure looks good and different but too wannabe, we think.

Mahindra Bolero – Mitsubishi Pajero


The Mahindra Bolero used to be the top-selling UV in the Indian market before the arrival of the Maruti Brezza. The rugged SUV is quite popular in Tier II and Tier III cities of India. The Mitsubishi Pajero too has quite a fan following in India. The Pajero SFX became extremely popular among enthusiasts. Here is a Bolero that draws inspiration from the Pajero’s colour scheme. It gets a white and yellow combination with a small faux hood scoop.

Force Trax – Hummer H2


We all have seen the overloaded Force Trax on Indian highways. The reliable Trax is quite popular in villages where it is used to ferry people. Here is a “enthusiast” version of the Force Trax. This modified Force Trax has been transformed to look like the iconic American SUV, the Hummer H2. It gets a new chrome-dipped front grille, which is inspired by the Hummer and it also gets the “Hummer” moniker embossed on the front grille. The MUV also gets a new hood with faux scoop and roof-mounted auxiliary lamps.

Hyundai i10 – Maruti Swift


The now discontinued Hyundai i10 is a popular car in India and so is the Swift. We often see car owners transforming their cars into high-end brands but this i10 owner has updated the Hyundai i10 to look like an old-generation Maruti Swift. The car gets an updated front-end with a new bumper and a new grille. There is a Suzuki logo too. This owner sure loves the Swift more than his i10!

Toyota Innova – Lexus


Lexus is the premium arm of Toyota and entered India sometime ago. Earlier, the Lexus brand was not officially available in India and people used to privately import the vehicles. Even though it is officially available, the CBU models of Lexus make them extremely expensive. Here is a Toyota Innova that has transformed into a Lexus. The front-end of the popular MUV has been replaced with a huge grille with a Lexus logo on it.

Race 3 movie review: Not a Salman Khan fan? Mind your own business

Race 3 Director  - Remo D’Souza Cast  - Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem, Daisy Shah Rating  - 1/5 During one of the many forced fist fights in Race 3, Salman Khan is getting the better of his opponents when he is hit by a rod. He smirks, turns towards the camera and punches the enemy in face as if he is punishing the man for not recognising the Bhai of Bollywood. The camera doesn’t cut to the rod, which, I am sure, is broken in half by now. Such is Salman’s unparalleled rage and such is the vision of director Remo D’Souza. Race 3 is everything film students are taught not to do, but then what do they know? From the first scene in which Anil Kapoor blows up a gang member with the help of a pen bomb to Salman coming to the rescue of his family in a base-jump suit, Race 3 unabashedly targets the fans. There isn’t any pretension of logical filmmaking or sound screenplay. It seems Race 3 categorically wants the non-Salman fans ...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to  ZDNet  at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...
