Force Gurkha

It was a pretty delicate situation that I had put myself into. I’m on a slope sideways and trying to inch my way forward. But there is more here than meets the eye. This is no ordinary slope I'm talking about. This slope was at a 30-degree incline and as a result I could almost lean out of the window and touch the flat ground. Me biting the dust or not depended solely on how stupid I acted or how capable this all-new Gurkha was. Thankfully it was the latter that prevailed and the Gurkha easily managed to crawl out of the situation.

New Force One EX

Force Motors recently launched a base version of the Force One that comes for Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This price, for a full size SUV represents a whole lot of car for the money. What Force is aiming to do here is expand the Force One range. When it was launched back in August 2011, there was just one variant on offer -- a fully loaded One that cost Rs 11.71 lakh. Now, there's this EX (that has less power and less equipment) and a variant called the SX (which offers ABS and is BSIV compliant) in a addition to the soon to be launched four-wheel drive LX. We drove the EX briefly to see how good it is.
