Baleno Trivia

Some trivia about the Baleno :

1. The term "Baleno" means greased lightning / flash of lightning in Italian.
Well, that's what other cars would think when they see a Baleno zip past them.

2. The A/c in the Baleno is rated better than the one in the Benz S-class sedan.
No wonder, I do not need to use any more than the lowest fan setting even during
the peak summer in Chennai.

3. It has the best fuel economy among the cars in its class (12kmpl city driving with a/c
and 17kmpl on highways with a/c).
I can hear the Corsa, Accent, Optra owners moan their hearts out, given their city
mileage of 10, 10 and 8kmpl respectively.

4. Much has been said about the rear of the Baleno - that the lights could have been
designed better. But take a look at it from the front and experience the ecstacy of its
curves and the mean look that resembles the facial profile of a python.
Beware, this is one mean car.

5. A top speed of 175kmph means you can reach your destination faster.
I don't think any other car in its class comes close.
