The rivalry between Audi and BMW is an automobile equivalent of the one between Apple and Samsung or Airbus and Boeing. And, as with all big-brand wars around the globe, you&rsquo;ll find scores of keyboard warriors from both camps arguing about the merits of their favourite label and dissing the other at the same time. The India-launch of the Audi S5 and the BMW M340i last month was reason enough for enthusiasts to restart the skirmish. Both these halfway performance offerings come with a 3.0-litre six-pot turbo petrol heart that push out somewhat similar output figures. And that&rsquo;s what inspired us to do this comparison. So, which one is the more wholesome package? Grab your popcorn, it&rsquo;s time for a classic Audi vs BMW showdown.

You might be wondering why Triumph decided to launch a brand-new new entry-level motorcycle. They already have the Street Triple, which is currently one of the most amazing naked roadsters in the sub-750cc segment. But, for many riders, it's a bit too sporty and aggressive, and expensive as well. That is especially true for new riders looking to get their hands on their very first big bike. That's where the Trident comes in. It's a smaller, lighter, and more easily manageable motorcycle that promises top quality, performance, and features. Most importantly though, it's much more affordable. I got to spend the entire day with the Trident on the beautiful mountain roads of Uttrakhand and here is what I found out.

Back in 1995 Mercedes-Benz &ndash; the world&rsquo;s most popular luxury&nbsp;car maker &ndash; made its entry into the Indian market. Their first product in the country was the W124, which was the first Mercedes model to be christened the E Class. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has sold 46,000 units of the E-Class in India up until today, which is more than 50% of all Mercedes-Benz cars sold in India. Globally, the E-Class is also the German manufacturer&rsquo;s best-selling car and it&rsquo;s sold more than 13 million units of the car. Because the E-Class is the best-selling luxury sedan in India, the first-ever RHD LWB E-Class in the world was launched in the country. We got our hands on the new facelifted version of the fifth-generation E-Class, which was just launched in India. With a few minor updates and new features, Mercedes-Benz is hoping the E-Class will become even more lust-worthy. We find out if it is!
