DETROIT–The huge Hydra-Matic plant of General Motors in nearby Willow Run sprawls over a mile like a bustling town. More than 11,000 workers on three shifts labor there for the world's largest automaker. Recently, a petition circulated throughout the factory that proved quite popular. About 6,000 workers signed it.
The petition's demands were quite modest though likely to irritate the plant's managers. The employees were demanding an adequate emergency medical service system operated over a 24-hour period by qualified people.
To hear the workers' side, the present situation is terrible. Accidents and injuries occur. People have heart attacks or other sudden illnesses. Yet emergency treatment can take the form of security personnel trying to be medics transporting the victims on hi-lows, scooters or, if it is not too far away, in the single, ill-equipped ambulance. The ambulance not only is unable to gain access to major areas of the factory–thus losing valuable time–but then it has to connect with an outside ambulance service to take patients to the hospital.
The main medical department is open only during the day shift, five days a week. There are two physicians and several nurses who are not viewed by the workers as advocates for better emergency care. The medical department's motivation, assert the petitioners, is to return injured workers to work as soon as possible to avoid productivity losses. On the other shifts, there are no physicians but there are nurses.
Hydra-Matic management is not pleased with the petitioners' view of emergency medical care at the plant. GM claims that things are up to snuff and that the United Auto Workers' local there is not sharing in the dissent. The dissident workers say that neither the union local nor the Detroit inspector of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are responding to their grievances.
This view is in marked contrast to the official GM view.
In a few weeks, the United Auto Workers will convene a conference of members to discuss what health and safety issues should be part of the next contract bargaining sessions with management. Emergency medical care should be on the agenda. It is one of the most neglected areas of plant safety and one where many of the medical staff are torn between pressures to shield management from liability and their professional duty to worker health.
In discussing the problem at Hydra-Matic with some of the workers, I remembered how many members of Congress were kneejerking to the industrialists and voicing anti-OSHA epithets. To them, OSHA was too tough. Cold-blooded Congressman George Hansen (Rep., Idaho) even wants to abolish OSHA and in the meantime keep OSHA inspectors out of the factories.
Since the OSHA safety law was passed in 1970, tragedies and medical evidence have accumulated to show how more than 115,000 workers die of worker-related diseases and injuries every year, in addition to the greater number of disabilities.
Still, many members of Congress look the other way or join the baying pack against OSHA. Perhaps, instead of some of their overseas junkets, these legislators should go into the mines, foundries and factories for a few days and see what is is like.

The Great Convergence: Measuring the Fiscal Capacity Gap Between "Have" and "Have-Not" Provinces
— Dec 3, 2020
The Great Convergence: Measuring the Fiscal Capacity Gap Between "Have" and "Have-Not" Provinces is a new study that finds the gap between the ability of Canada's richer and poorer provinces to raise revenues is shrinking rapidly. If Alberta's fiscal capacity gap continues to shrink relative to the rest of Canada, the province could soon become eligible for equalization transfers, which would affect transfers to other so-called "have not" provinces.

Musical | Running Time: 2h30, inc. interval | Booking Until: 17/10/2020
Her Majesty's Theatre
The West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical The Phantom Of The Opera is based on Gaston Leroux's gothic novel of life beneath the stage of the Paris Opera House.
The musical first opened at Her Majesty's Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and has gone on to be one of the most successful theatre productions of all time.
Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House hides the Phantom, living a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, he "haunts" the backstage and public areas. Falling in love with a young chorus singer, Christine Daaé, he transforms her into a star. When the Phantom's love for his beautiful protégée grows so strong that he asks her to spend her life with him in his subterranean kingdom, he is devastated when she is rescued by her lover – and vows revenge.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's mesmerising score, along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night.
The show has won over 50 major theatre awards, including three Olivier Awards in the West End and seven Tonys on Broadway. It was the winner of the Olivier Audience Award, voted by the public, in the 2016 Laurence Olivier Awards.
The Phantom Of The Opera is currently showing in London, New York, Budapest, Stockholm and on tour in the US.
Now in its 33rd year, The Phantom Of The Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty's Theatre in London's West End, after more than 12,000 performances, having become the first stage production to reach worldwide grosses of $6 billion. Worldwide, a staggering 140 million people have seen The Phantom Of The Opera in 35 countries and 160 cities in 15 languages.

Donald Trump's Closing Statement At The First Presidential Debate Was The Same Old Same
by Karen Fratti
The debate held at Hofstra University on Monday night was the first time that the two candidates have ever gone head-to-head, and for almost two hours, voters got a taste of what the rest of the election cycle would look like. It's going to be quite the ride to the November election if Donald Trump's closing statement at the first presidential debate is any sign of what's to come. Leading up to the debate, Trump's campaign made the rounds to the press and on social media touting the fact that the Republican nominee wasn't going prepare very much for the event, even as rumors spread that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was studying up and practicing well into Monday afternoon. And his closing statement sort of showed that the candidate didn't do his homework.
It was anyone's guess as to what "type" of Donald Trump voters were going to get — the rowdy candidate they got a taste of during the GOP primary debates or the more restrained candidate who has been using a teleprompter more often since his nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer. It was a little bit of both. Trump spent the debate mainly repeating the policy points that he's been stumping on, attempting to fact check his opponent and her rebuttals, and defend himself against Clinton's jabs.
But the closing statement was all about the Trump many viewers and voters are used to seeing on TV. And of course, making America great.
Trump was cut off towards the end of the debate by moderator Lester Holt and asked to make a quick summary of his platform in closing. Instead of going into to too much detail, Trump resorted to talking about "making American great again," and repeated his campaign slogan a few times before having to sign off.
It wasn't an easy night for Trump, as he was blatantly interrupting his opponent throughout the evening and never got into too many specifics about his policies. Instead Trump seemed defensive, pointing his finger at Clinton and interjecting his thoughts while she spoke throughout the evening.
Many in the Clinton camp were worried going into the debate that the presidential hopefuls would be graded "on a curve," meaning that as long as Trump didn't totally lose his cool or say something derogatory to the candidate, it would be a win for the real estate mogul.
It's not the most perfect metaphor for judging presidential candidates, but Trump definitely lost his cool during the debate more than his opponent. His closing statement, which was, again, just more about how he wants to "make America great," didn't seem to give the candidate the "oomph" supporters might have been looking for.
Trump boasted earlier in the month about not spending too much time preparing and it showed in his closing remarks at the first presidential debate. Here's to a better try at the next debate in October.


Google Wallet was introduced this morning as the next big thing in mobile payments, but without many NFC phones available in the market, there are very few people who would be able to take advantage of this new technology that should roll out this summer. So what does Google plan to do to make it more widespread? Stickers. Yep, they plan to make snazzy little single credit card holding stickers that can be attached to the back of your phones. The stickers will have enough technology in them to transmit a signal between the Google Wallet app and the credit card machine at the store you are visiting, giving you at least part of the easy-checkout experience. The downside is obviously the fact that you can only use one card, but at least it lets the rest of us join the party, right?

ZCORR Products has introduced a new Anti-Corrosion Softcase with a built-in, vacuum-sealable VCI corrosion-barrier bag providing airtight and waterproof protection for firearms. The 42″-long main gun compartment houses a VCI storage bag that clips into the softcase. ZCORR's clip-in system lets you secure a second long-gun bag when two-gun transport is needed. Double-gun capacity is a plus because these cases are expensive — MSRP is $249.00. That's ten times the cost of some basic soft-skin (fabric and foam) rifle carriers.
While we like the idea of a soft guncase with serious built-in corrosion protection, it's too bad that the case is only 42″ long. That size will hold ARs, and some short tactical bolt-guns, but it's way too short for typical precision match rifles. At least the ZCORR Softcase offers additional compartments for handguns and accessories. There is an 11"x35" front compartment for handguns and magazines. Other shooting accessories can be stowed in two extra pockets measuring 9″×12" and 9″×9″ respectively.
COMMENT: For $249.00 one can get a quality, full-length hard-case and three or four 54″-long vacuum-sealable Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) bags, big enough to hold a long match rifle with room to spare. A hard case with 54″ bags woud be a better solution for most precision rifle shooters than this first-generation ZCORR Softcase. Hopefully ZCORR will get the message that its current Anti-Corrosion Softcase is undersized (for bolt guns) and over-priced.

Q: I have to set up a series of dropdown list input controls, but is there someway to set it up short of manually making a bunch of if statements? I am working on a website which stores maintenance events for different vehicles.  But I need to categorize them by the part, but I am having trouble figuring out how to build the page. They need to select a part, then a location, and sometimes it goes even further. I thought of using Javascript to generate the extra dropdown boxes, but it seems really inefficient to have to make a bunch of if,then statements.  Is there a more efficient way to do this?
EDIT:  My pseudo code is like
onChange=>changeFunction()

changeFunction{
if(ddlLocation=brakes){
add select boxes, populate with the individual parts
}else if (...){
}
}

A: I'd have to know more about the specific application to help better, but here is a better way.
Think dynamically, You've got a hundred inputs coming in with unique names, create classes with methods that have method names in a pattern so you can loop through the input names and check for available method based on the method naming convention and call it to handle that type of input specifically.
In that case, if you set it up right, you pass your input all at once to a loop that handles random input as well as it can without if,else.
For example:
$carparts = new CarParts();
foreach ($_POST as $name=>$value) {
    $method = strtolower($name) . 'Action';
    if (method_exists($carparts,$method)) {
        $carparts->$method($value);
    }
}

A: In most situations--but depending on the application--it's better to use a switch statement instead of chained if statements.  Switch statements are also usually faster than multiple if conditions.

In JavaScript, if statements are generally faster than switch statements when there are just one or two conditions to be evaluated. When there are more than two conditions, and the conditions are simple (not ranges), the switch statement tends to be faster. This is because the amount of time it takes to execute a single condition in a switch statement is often less than it takes to execute a single condition in an if statement, making the switch statement optimal only when there are a larger number of conditions.

More info about if else vs switch
Javascript case statement example:
switch(n)
{
 case 1:
   execute code block 1
   break;
 case 2:
   execute code block 2
   break;
 default:
   code to be executed if n is different from case 1 and 2

A search vessel has retrieved from the Mediterranean the downed plane's cockpit-voice recorder.
The cockpit voice recorder of the EgyptAir plane that crashed last month has been pulled from the waters of the Mediterranean, a day after the wreckage of the aircraft was found.
The voice recorder was damaged but its memory unit, considered to be its most important component, was successfully retrieved, CNN reported Thursday, citing an Egyptian committee that is investigating the plane crash. The Airbus A320, operating as EgyptAir Flight 804, crashed in the Mediterranean on May 19 on a flight from Paris to Cairo, killing all 66 people on board.
Egyptian investigators said Thursday a search vessel discovered the wreckage of EgyptAir. The plane's flight-data recorder, which together with the voice recorder are called the "black boxes" of an aircraft, has not been found. Earlier this month, French vessels participating in the search for the downed plane detected the signals of one the flight recorders in the eastern Mediterranean.
In fact, it creates a record of the total audio environment in the cockpit area. This includes crew conversation, radio transmissions, aural alarms, control movements, switch activations, engine noise and airflow noise.
Older CVRs retain the last 30 minutes of an aircraft's flight. A modern CVR retains the last 2 hours of information.
Investigators are considering technical or human error and terrorism—although no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the crash—as potential causes for crash.

Q: What does "yanis' mean It's again from one of my favourite YouTube show "Screen Rant". I am confused about the word "yanis". What it means, has it a synonum?
https://youtu.be/Zk_YKmtOYyI?t=318 5:18

A: The word is "audience"

So then the game starts and the goon squad scores over a thousand points, because you get points for style and stuff, whatever.
How does the scoring system work?
No idea. It's just gonna be all over the place
Err, it's gonna be hard for the audience to feel any stakes if the scoring is arbitrary.
Actually, yup.
Okay.

I've tried listing to this and I can't hear "yanis".  There is a bit of a slur as the /iː/ of "the" blends to "audience" giving something like /ðiːjɑːdiəns/

One million more people active in England
Posted 17th October 2019
The highest ever levels of activity have been recorded by Sport England's latest Active Lives Adult Survey, with one million more people physically active than when the survey began.
Based on data gathered from 180,000 respondents (aged 16+) in the 12 months from May 2018 to May 2019, 1,015,700 more people are active compared to when the survey started, in 2015.
That takes the total number of active people – those doing at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week – up to 28.6 million.
The number of inactive people – doing fewer than 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week – is down to 11.2 million, a decrease of 131,700 since 2015 and the lowest figure ever recorded by the survey.
In West Yorkshire, there continues to be a decrease in the number of inactive people. Similarly, in three of the four districts in South Yorkshire, there are fewer inactive people than the first Active Lives figures.
Our Data and Insight Manager, Emma Gooch, will be writing a blog that looks at the latest figures in more detail, to be shared on our website next week.
You can view the full report here.
The results show that this improvement has been driven by women and older adults (aged 55+) – groups we have focused on in our Towards an Active Nation strategy, with campaigns such at This Girl CanOpen in a new window, a £10 million fund for projects that support people aged 55+ to get active and by supporting new opportunities for running such as our £3 million investment into parkrun.
For women, weights, interval and gym sessions have seen a significant increase in popularity, while there are 142,000 fewer inactive women than 12 months and an additional 254,200 more active women – taking the figures to 5,948,100 and 14,103,900, respectively.
While for older people, running, weight sessions and gym sessions have grown in popularity, with 100,700 fewer inactive adults aged 55+ and an additional 506,700 more active in the last 12 months – leading to totals of 5,592,400 and 9,137,800, respectively.
The report also makes clear the mental health benefits of being active. When asked to rate their mental health on a scale of 0-10, active people reported feeling:
More satisfied with their lives
More likely to feel the things they do in life are worthwhile
Less anxious
And Tim Hollingsworth, Sport England chief executive, was encouraged by the new data.
"It's really excellent news that a record number of people are now active every week and that we're also seeing a significant decrease in the amount of inactive people," he said.
"It shows us that efforts to help more people get active are starting to make a real difference, particularly for older adults, women and those with a disability or long-term health condition.
"But we can't be complacent. Within the overall positive picture of these figures is a sobering reality – if you are well-off you are far more likely to be active than if you're on a low income or less affluent.
"While there are complex barriers that stop less well-off people from getting active, this is an unacceptable inequality and one we're starting to address in the work we are doing across the country – including piloting programmes in 12 local areas to tackle inequality.
"Being active has positive benefits for mental and physical wellbeing, strengthens communities and helps build confidence and resilience.
"We urge anyone working towards helping people live healthier lives – whether that's government policy makers or health professionals – to consider physical activity as a vehicle to help drive positive outcomes, so that everyone can benefit."
For those with a disability or long-term health conditions there has been an increase in activity levels and decrease in inactivity levels over the 12 months to May 2019, with 216,300 more active and 107,800 fewer inactive.
However, they are still twice as likely to be inactive than people without a condition or disability, so work continues to support and inspire people into physical activity – such as the new We Are UndefeatableOpen in a new window campaign, led by 15 of the leading health and social care charities and backed with National Lottery funding and our expertise.
Other notable findings from the report show:
People who are less affluent are the most likely to be inactive (33%) and the least likely to be active (54%) compared to those who are the most well-off – who are 16% inactive and 72% active.
A complex backdrop of economic and health inequalities magnifies the impact of barriers to getting active felt by all, such as confidence or knowing where to go, through to cost, lack of time and appropriate opportunity.
Walking for leisure or travel remains the most popular activity, with 477,800 more people walking for travel (15,247,600 in total) and 514,000 more walking for leisure (19,162,200).
Fitness activities are becoming even more popular, especially for women and those in older groups, with 398,000 more people taking part (13,766,300 in total). Weight sessions are increasingly popular, with this type of fitness being easily adapted for different groups, e.g. strength and balance for older people.
Yoga and Pilates continue to grow in popularity.
Racket sports continue to decrease in popularity with 111,400 fewer people taking part.
Netball enjoyed a growth in popularity with 50,200 more people taking part (319,400 in total), with a diverse audience of younger and older women attracted through grassroots programmes like Back to Netball.
Nigel Adams, Minister for Sport and Civil Society, added: "Every single person in this country should have the opportunity to take part in sport and activity. It is not only good for our physical health but it also boosts our mental wellbeing and makes people happier.
"Sport England is rightly focusing on further increasing participation so that people from all backgrounds can get, and enjoy being active."
The Active Lives Adult Survey is conducted by Ipsos Mori.

McGuinty Government Greenbelt To Protect One Million New Acres In Golden Horseshoe
Archived News Release
Plan Will Curb Urban Sprawl
October 28, 2004 1:43 P.M.
QUEEN'S PARK -- Protecting greenspace in the Golden Horseshoe will curb unplanned urban sprawl, improve quality of life today and preserve Ontario's natural heritage for future generations, said Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.
"Our Greenbelt Protection Plan will help protect a total of 1.8 million acres -- an area the size of Algonquin Park -- forever," said Premier McGuinty. "We're protecting a million new acres from Rice Lake to the Niagara Peninsula. Preserving our greenspaces will help build stronger communities, improve our health and protect our water and air."
The plan adds one million new acres to the 800,000 acres in the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara Escarpment that are currently protected.
The plan will set strict limits on urban boundaries. Areas not currently zoned for urban development will be protected. The plan will deliver policies and guidelines for how lands can be used, including policies on:
Agricultural protection -- to protect lands that grow specialty crops, such as the Niagara Peninsula tender fruit and grape areas and the Holland Marsh
Environmental protection -- to protect the quality of ground and surface water and to maintain essential natural connections between the Oak Ridges Moraine, Niagara Escarpment, Lake Simcoe, Lake Ontario and major river valleys
Recreation and tourism -- to support sustainable tourism and to provide settings for sports, leisure and recreation opportunities
Rural communities -- to sustain the character of the countryside and promote strong and prosperous rural communities
Infrastructure and natural resources -- to provide for sustainable use of resources critical to the region's environmental, economic and growth needs.
The draft plan is based on the advice received from the Greenbelt Task Force and the advice of municipalities and stakeholder groups. The government will consult with the public and stakeholders and intends to have a final plan ready by December 16, 2004.
"Our plan will strike a balance between protecting our greenspaces and meeting the needs of growing communities," said Premier McGuinty. "It will help us build the kind of Ontario we all want to live in -- and that we can be proud to leave to our children."

Vermont is beautiful with it's many covered bridges and streams! Believe it or not we are getting the remnants of Hurricane Nate up here in New England. The good news is that the weather is warm and balmy. The bad news is, that it's pouring today!!
Today we are celebrating our anniversary with a day off (Columbus Day) to relax and recoup! We are staying on Squam Lake which you may recognize from the movie On Golden Pond ( Hepburn and Fonda)! The B&B is a beautiful place ( even in the ☔rain) called the Manor on GoldenPond.
We both had a much needed massage today, a treat from our daughter Katie! I'm afraid I have become addicted to Bio-Freeze, Amy said I smell mentholated all the time😬! The Manor was built on the hill overlooking Squam Lake by Isaac Van Horn in 1907. The Pub is famous and was named after a painting of 3 roosters and in the tradition of English pubs named after farm animals ( to which a Texan guest remarked " you fellas sure like your chickens round here") !
Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your final week and thinking back on all of your amazing accomplishments! Congratulations!
Careful Stache . You're almost there.
I know , will be careful!
So glad you are ok! I wrecked on RR tracks once and broke my shoulder. They are nasty. Enjoy your day off!
Bruised hip is the worst of it, thanks Rachel I should have known better!!
Oh no!!!! Railroad tracks?! I love the sense of humor. Heal quickly!
Ouch, Bill, glad the rest of you is ok. At least that will keep you alert for the last 300. All the best to you and Amy on your final stretch, what an amazing feat!!!!
You better believe it Attila I will be alert! Thanks!!
Thanks Billy Mitch!! It was a silly fall and I have the bruises to show for it! Don't get hurt in the golf course!!
Thanks Paul, the groups prayers did it, made it safe and sound! Thank you to everyone for including us on your prayer list! We are thankful!!
Och!!! Hope your last leg (no pun intended) of the journey is as inspiring as the first . . . glad you and Amy are enjoying the adventure.

Pacific side: Hush Valley Lodge is approximately a 3-hour drive (in a 4x4 vehicle) to Quepos on the Pacific side. You will have to drive on the Pan-American highway south to San Isidro de General, travel west to Dominical, then north to Quepos (Manuel Antonio) - all paved roads. It's a beautiful drive with gorgeous views. It's easy to make Hush Valley Lodge your first or your last stop on your trip.
Caribbean side: you can also drive to the Caribbean side. Puerto Viejo is approximately 6 hours away. You will have to travel north to Cartago, travel east to Limon then travel south to Puerto Viejo - all paved roads.
Free advice: unless you are travelling for several weeks (3+), we recommend you concentrate on a few areas at a time so that you may fully enjoy your stay. Although Costa Rica is a small country and it would appear easy to cover a lot of territory, the reality is that there are only a few direct routes and when roads and bridges are being worked on (a good thing) it means facing delays from time to time. There are mountains that divide the country, so you are covering longer distances as you are climbing in elevation and down again. Everything takes longer than one would expect. If you allow yourselves enough time for a relaxing journey, it will make for a more enjoyable adventure.
In Costa Rica, people will speak in 'time' rather than in 'kilometres' because the average speed is much slower than what we're used to in North America and Europe.
*All times are approximate. Many factors play into how long travel takes, including (but not limited to) flow of traffic, road construction, road conditions, stops along the way by driver, and weather.

THE PILOT EDITORIAL - Getting to brass tacks on dredging (Editorial ~ 12/04/01)
The state's bid-let dredge is due in early in the spring, and could leave about 90 days later. So that window of opportunity is likely to close quickly, and once the dredge is gone, there's little chance that the state is going to bring it back any time soon. The size of the state project, while still impressive, is such that little will be achieved except a deeper pothole area for fish to winter - at least that is the case if it stops there...

The opening was in the hallway, where the oil furnace stood under the floor. The grate lay flush with the floor, and throughout the cold months, the girls could walk across the grate and feel the heat rush up and warm them...

Cars to look forward to at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo
NEW DELHI: With the year drawing to a close and 2016 just around the corner, the stage is set for the upcoming edition of the much-awaitedDelhi Auto Expo. To be organised between February 5 and 9 next year, the 13th edition of the automobile extravaganza will showcase a plethora of new offerings by automakers from across the globe. Here, we bring to you the 8 cars that the petrolhead inside you can't afford to miss this time around.
Based on the platform of the Polo, this new compact sedan from the German automaker will draw plenty of attention at the event. A price tag beginning from Rs 6 lakh is expected.
With plenty of buzz already surrounding Maruti's new entrant in the compact SUV segment, recently revealed spy pictures have only added to it. Based on the existing Maruti Suzuki Swift platform, we expect theXA Alpha to be priced between Rs 6-9 lakh.
A popular car in the country, the Innova is set to undergo major changes, both design-wise and mechanically. There are high expectations around this facelift, which it will look to fulfil at the Auto Expo.
Skoda will have on display the aggressively styled new Superb which will replace the outgoing version. Inspired by the Octavia, this car is in fact a notch up in terms of luxury.
With bookings already open, Mahindra KUV100 will be one car that could be the apple of everyone's eyes at the expo in Delhi. Featuring a new range of engines, this little car could well be a game changer for its manufacturer.
The smallest offering from Jaguar, the XE could capture a wider audience for the British carmaker. Though, it will have to battle it out with the likes of the BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and the Mercedes C-Class in its segment.
Honda is all set to jump on the SUV bandwagon in India with the showcasing of the BR-V at the 2016 Auto Expo. The BRV will also be the first SUV by the carmaker to be launched with a diesel option.
Recently unveiled at an event in Goa, the Zica has garnered quite a lot of eyeballs with its appealing and modern design. The hatchback will be available with both petrol and diesel engines and will go up against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, the Hyundai i10 and the Chevrolet Beat in the market.
After years of anticipation, Ford is all set to display the Mustang at the Expo this time around. The globally renowned Mustang will bring competition to the Audi TT and BMW Z4.
The premium offering from the Japanese manufacturer spells competition in the subcompact passenger car segment. The Vios will take on the likes of the Honda City, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, the Volkswagen Vento and the Hyundai Verna, among others.
BMW will be launching its sixth generation of the luxurious 7 series at the Auto Expo 2016. It has been five years since an upgrade and will be a welcome change for BMW enthusiasts.
Merc's new luxury crossover will have the interiors of a sedan and the stance of an SUV. The GLC-Class is aimed squarely at the Volvo XC60, BMW X3, Porsche Macan, Audi Q5, and the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Unveiled recently at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi will bring in the new generation A4 to India. The A4 has been seen changes to both the exterior and interior, bringing it abreast with the competition.
Originated in the late '80s, the Wrangler SUV came into being as a replacement for the conventional CJ series of Jeep, and is based on the iconic Willy's Jeep. Design-wise, the Wrangler SUV shares a lot of closeness with the Willy's, sporting a more aggressive and muscular stance.
