The Polo Match Edition includes additional specification like rear parking sensors, cruise control and an alarm with interior protection.

Its exterior is endowed with 15-inch ‘Castille’ alloy wheels, front fog lights and heat-insulating tinted rear windows.  Inside, the Polo Match Edition features as standard manual air conditioning, an RCD 310 radio/CD player, multi-function computer and Multi Device Interface with iPod connectivity. 

The Match Edition also boasts of electric windows and a comfort pack as well as remote central locking and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors. Standard safety equipment for the Polo Match Edition includes four airbags, ABS and ESP.

The same design theme is continued at the interior where Bmw and Pininfarina used only high-quality materials such as black and tobacco brown leather upholstery from Italian company Foglizzo, but also the trims sourced from kauri wood as well as black chrome.

“The roof liner of finest Italian virgin wool features the striking “Principe di Galles” pattern. This grey plaid strikes a bold contrast to the traditional materials used for the doors and dashboard. The brown leather seats also pick up on the pattern in their all-round piping. Allowing extra light into the interior is an oblong aperture in the roof liner which is additionally illuminated by white LEDs. In the footwell areas, a soft deep-pile carpet in dark grey adds to a subtle sense of wellbeing. Another interior detail are the freestanding B-pillars, whose elegant design when viewed from the outside creates a homogeneous glazed area and frameless doors that appear very light.” said the press release.

Ammar Master, an analyst at LMC Automotive, quipped that Datsun is not a cheaper version of Nissan, but is a real car built specifically for customers in India. He remarked that it will take some time for Datsun to build up its brand name. According to Yomura, Nissan is planning to almost triple sales in India to 100,000 vehicles in the current fiscal year ending March 2014, outpacing the industry-wide growth of up to 7 percent expected by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers.

Nissan could achieve its target market share by increasing sales in smaller models. According to the association, compacts and minicars accounted for around 75 percent of passenger-car sales in India in the year ended March 31, 2013. The association disclosed that Maruti and Hyundai hold a 45-percent and 20-percent share of the Indian car market respectively.

Lutz, a former vice chairman at GM, recently touted Fisker in a blog that was posted under his byline on Forbes.com on April 26, 2013. In his blog, Lutz called the $100,000-plus Karma plug-in hybrid sports car, designed by Henrik Fisker, as “quite possibly the most beautiful four-door sedan ever."

He remarked that the Fisker Karma’s technology was similar to that of the Chevrolet Volt -- ground-breaking. He added that the technology will be soon adopted by many leading carmakers as they seek to comply with stringent carbon dioxide and fuel economy rules. He noted that the development of the Karma was fast, but, for the most part, excellent.

Barra related that at a recent SAE project, she was gratified to see students having “so much fun” applying key principles of math and science. She said that it is only fitting to support SAE’s programs by donating a vehicle that embodies what is possible “when ingenuity meets engineering excellence.”

GM has been a sponsor of SAE Foundation’s STEM outreach programs. Aside from providing financial support from the GM Foundation, GM also provides over 1,500 mentors and volunteers to help reach around 85,000 students participating in SAE’s World in Motion K-12 programs. John Calabrese, GM vice president, Global Vehicle Engineering, remarked SAE’s programs show young people that math and science is a viable career choice.
