Hyundai launches 'Getz Prime'
New Delhi: Maruti Udyog now has one more competitor for its Suzuki Swift one that qualifies for the small car tag (thanks to a 1.2-litre engine) and consequently the lower excise duty. Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) has launched its new premium hatchback 'Getz Prime', with a starting price from Rs3.89 lakh onwards. The company is targeting to sell about 30,000 units of the vehicle in the Indian market and 40,000 units abroad in the remaining part of this calendar year. The company also plans to join the price war by introducing another compact car in October. The new Getz Prime will be available with two engine sizes, one with the 1.1-litre capacity and the other with the 1.3-litre. The base model of Getz Prime is equipped with a 1.1-litre petrol engine and will be cheaper than the base model of Maruti Swift (Rs3.99 lakh) by a good Rs10,000.

3 year ban for Lamp pitch lout
THE drunken yob who threw a punch at Chelseas Frank Lampard was yesterday banned from every soccer ground in Britain for three years. Trainee architect Timothy Smith, 18, ran on the pitch at White Hart Lane after Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat last Monday. He failed to make contact with the Blues ace and was brought to the ground in a scuffle with stewards and players including Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole. Nathan Paine Davey, prosecuting, told Haringey Magistrates Court in North London: He said he had drunk a lot and had only vague memories of the match. He said he was deeply embarrassed and sorry for what he had done. District Judge Clive Wiles fined Smith, of Datchet, Berks, £300 plus £50 costs.
