We talk about why so many cars now share the same engine, why buyers who walk in with a big budget walk out confused, and what MotoWagon hears every day on consulting calls. We get into E20 petrol and the E30/E85 worry, why EVs flattened (petrol ~48%, CNG ~22%, diesel ~18%, hybrid ~7%, EV ~4.5% of the mix as discussed), whether hybrids are the bridge, and if a new diesel is still a safe buy in Tamil Nadu. Then the brands: Ford's exit, Hyundai's slide, Maruti's safe-play strategy, Tata's safety story, Mahindra's engineering push, Renault's Duster hybrid gamble, MG and BYD, and a rapid fire on Maruti, Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata, Renault, MG, Volkswagen, Skoda, Honda and Toyota. For anyone planning a car purchase in 2026, or anyone who just loves cars. What topic should we do next with MotoWagon?
