Do you want to know how weird the Indian car market is?
The Kia Carnival was launched in 2020 at just around Rs 25 lakh onwards -- with the top-spec 'Limousine' priced at Rs 35 lakh (about 40k USD).
They updated it with new styling, more features, and a price tag of Rs 60 lakh (~67k USD).
Wtf.

Love it.
I had a quick chat with the owner and became friends. Not that I am charming, but some people are genuinely nice -- and don't mind talking to me.
He drives an ex-USA MGB and an ex-Australia Mini Cooper. Both remarkable machines, if at the opposite ends of the fun motoring spectrum.

😃 Bet it was fun on the move, though?
I really like the MGB. The one featured on The Car Cult was originally a US car, converted to RHD, and brought back to India when its owner retired.
Re pushing, in hindsight, you could have just taken some inspiration from Detective Bullitt...

The photos are not as cool as yours, though. That's a hot MGC.
