In standard equipment, you need to list down all the equipments you feel should be standard in the car you have mentioned (with respect to the price) & in optional equipment, you need to mention the features which can be an optional fitment for which you can be charged extra. same goes for safety features.

Hey Raj Thats why i had mentioned you to give a test drive report.
As i had heard that braking in fortuner is not good at all especially on highways.??? And i was wondering how you didnt feel it.
Anyways nice prank.
At one moment i had thought that your love would be shifting to fortuner.

Well it suits me the most. And its my idea of an ideal vehicle for me. And that car is like my better half,And hence for me its priceless.
And by the way you cant put a clause and say to talk about your ideal vehicle. If its like that then how can you talk about your ideal vehicle? A real auto aficionado's car would be out of his reach 90% of the time. And there will always be a better car in a person's mind other than what he has to put up with when you put a clause saying that you must have the dough to go and buy it,For it be the other way around you have to be the prince of monaco. And I dont see any reason for me to look at another car with the bottle neck traffic in Kerala if you take practicality into account.

@ilango, No intention to hurt the sentiments but was that a car. Eh?
Please be specific while mentioning the details of your ideal car, that’s the motto of this thread, I suppose.

Let me clarify one query, the name of the vehicle should be any existing vehicles name or we should select our own name?

I am still thinking what would be my ideal vehicle.
