Hurrah!

Happy for you and your family, nice car.

Your dog (in the side shot) looks like he/or she is looking at it, wondering

"whose car is that? Should I bark at it? Chase it?"

yeah in India.......when one buys a car the first thing he does is goto a temple and offer prayers to god and then later the priest reads out a prayer....flowers and lemon are stringed to the car in the process.........Dancing Peacock,I hope that answers your question

Hrm, I was wondering why I've never seen one of those! My questions were answered when I found out it's right hand drive (i.e. Not in America)! :)

nateholtrop, by sport package do you mean two doors? If so, no biggie to me. It saved me about $2,000 over a 4 door model. That, and I don't have kids, and I very, very seldom have more than two people with me.

the Honda City is basically a Civic with a little different stlying and less power. My uncle got the same car Rajesh, he's in Bombay though. I'm assuming your from Hydrabad?

It's a nice car...I like the styling...how much power does it have?? 80-100hp??

BTW, most cars in India have less than 100hp, they don't really use the power.
