Tata Motor's recent launch the Aria did create a lot of hype when it first came out in the market. Its sales stand second to the Toyota Fortuner. Tata Motors has always provided a platform where its customers can enjoy comfort and entertainment in the car they drive may it be the Vista, the Nano and now the Aria. We wait to see how the company fares this year as they launch the 90hp petrol Vista, the Nano diesel/automatic and the much awaited Tata Safari 2011.
