November issue is out on stands

Diwali, the festival of lights and crackers is around the corner and in keeping with the festive spirit we have a cracking issue for you this November. The much awaited Eon and the much talked about XUV500 take centre stage. We've extensively tested the two to come up with a detailed review. We've even pitted the XUV against some of its competitors to find out if the cheetah-inspired SUV is able to scare them off. If two wheelers are your poison then we have the motorcycle which made the whole country drool when it was launched and now it's here in an updated version. The Yamaha R15 Version 2.0, yes with fatter rear tyres, has been launched and Bert takes it around the corners of the MMRT in Chennai to find out what else has changed. Hero Moto Corp's first offering after breaking away Honda, the Impulse, is here and it's a bike which is at ease off the tarmac too. Interesting isn't it? Royal Enfield too has made a new entry into the scene with the Classic 500 Desert Storm â€" very Lawrence of Arabia if you ask us. It seems Hyosung' GT650R has lost some weight and makes its entry in an all new naked avatar, christened the GT650N. While all this was going on, Abhay snuck away to Italy and rode the all new Ducati Streetfighter 848.
