Tata shows off Elegante sedan concept car at Geneva Motor Show 2007; should we get excited?

BY OUR AUTO CORRESPONDENT

Update: The pictures, as promised! Make up your mind yourself

March 6, 2007: Nope. Don't put off your car purchase because of this. We have been disappointed by Tata before at Geneva. And this time might not be any different.

But if we are not, and Tata truly plans to introduce the Tata Elegante, we might get a really good vehicle.

First things first:

What has happened is that Tata Motors has done the regular unveiling and noise-making at Geneva Motor Show 2007, and has unveiled a car. At this moment, it is unclear if it really is a concept car, or a future product that might actually hit the streets.

Here are the features we have learnt so far:

The Tata Elegante sedan will have a proper sedan look. It will not be dumpy like the Tata Indigo.

The Elegante will be larger than the tat Indigo. Will it be larger than the Indigo XL? No clarity there. We will have to wait till our pals return from Geneva I guess.

The Elegante sedan concept is built so it can have 4 cylinder transverse petrol or diesel engines, or even a nice and small V6 engine producing 20 to 200 PS power.

It will meet all European safety, crash-worthiness and emission standards. The Tata Elegante's other features are a satellite navigation system, cruise control, integrated blue tooth compatibility, heated mirrors, rain sensor, and front and rear parking sensors.

If you want to know if the car is actually going to be launched at some time in the future, come back after a few hours, We would have got hold of a few photos of the unveiling, and some confirmation of the car's final status by then.

Here is some breadcrumbs for those who are disappointed: Tata has said that some of the Elegante sedan's design elements have made their way into the next version of the Indigo and the Indica. So, if you are not happy with that, we suggest you go ahead and buy a Honda City as revenge!
