It is measured in Inches. Like the old Bias/Crossply tyres were! That's standard for larger tyres used on CVs

Sad! I used to love F1 those Goodyear days!

Don't know why this took so long! Should have happened ages ago! But
anyway.. finally..

Seems like the next logical step after CDI and FI!

Suddenly the VTEC sounds outdated! :)

Cool! Engadget! My Daily dose of gadgetry!

Ohh wow! That is the Maini Reva! A car made right here in Bangalore India. Pretty common here!

Nice personal transportation that is cheaper to run than a Motorcycle!

And Toyota had done it years ago with the Landcruiser! No prizes for guessing which 4WD marque they borrowed the name from!

Let's hope Philips is able to correct this problem ASAP and come out with better products soon!

@ ANR what you see in the pic seems to be a busy street in New Delhi (the capital of India).

Also the cars you are referring to are Auto-Rickshaws. A kind of three wheeled taxi that runs on a scooter engine and provides cheap and practical city transportation. You can see it here: http://www.bajajauto.com/1024/vehicle/threewheelershow.asp?vehicle=RE%204S%20CNG&vehvariation=01

Yes Toyota is not all that successful in India simply because they are still not giving the cars an Average Indian wants or can afford. Even a basic Corolla (let aside the Camry) is too expensive. A corolla is also a kind of a Super Luxury car. There are atleast 3-4 classes of car below the Corolla.

Only Maruti (Suzuki) has mastered that game. It is now being closely chased by Tata and Hyundai. The rest are still far off. Ford and GM (Opel and Chevy brands) are still pretty popular and are doing reasonably well.
