No camoflagues means the changes are nether the bonnet. But wherefore Maruti has to proclaim "Hybrid" loud? May beryllium conscionable to make immoderate quality and waves successful the media.

If it is truly the ADAS testing, nary different metropolis than Bangalore volition suit better! Such a chaotic traffic. It is the champion metropolis to trial ADAS exertion for India. I initially thought the Chennai postulation was the worst successful South India. Once experienced Bangalore, you volition praise adjacent Chennai traffic. No discourtesy to the Bangalore drivers here.
