By NITISH S. RELE - editor@khaasbaat.com

Here are a few of the new/redesigned rides for 2009. Happy and safe motoring.



Acura TL
ACURA TL

The fourth-generation midsize luxury sedan has been totally redesigned.

This translates into a 6-inch increase in length, 1.8-inch overall width, 0.5-inch overall height, 1.4-inch longer wheelbase, 1.1- and 1.8-inch wider track in front and rear, respectively.

Power trains are a 3.5-liter V-6 cylinder (280 horsepower) and a 3.7-liter V-6 cylinder (305 hp) engine. The car gets its first-ever SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel drive) system. A 5-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the robust steering wheel is standard.

We can bet the all-new TL will give the competition a run for the money. Base price: $34,955. Web site: www.acura.com

PACK YOUR BAGS FOR LONELY PLANET'S BEST IN TRAVEL 2009
By NITISH S. RELE - editor@khaasbaat.com

Lonely Planet's (www.lonelyplanet.com) Bluelist is back. But it's now called Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2009 ($22.99, paperback) and takes a look at 850 of the world's hottest trends, destinations, journeys and experiences.

In a special feature on Water, the 242-pager mentions India's Chadar Ice Trek as being the only way to reach Zanskar, an isolated inhabited valley in Ladakh's Himalayas. "This is a serious five- to eight-day expedition, but the rewards are caves, monasteries and towering mountain viewpoints where everyone else isn't," according to the authors. Of course, the Kumbh Mela, where 70 million pilgrims converge, is among the Planet's best soaking celebrations. The next Kumbh Mela will be in March-April 2010.
