Infact we were on the verge of settling for honda city or sx4 or dzire diesel one of these preferbally city but with the launch of new city honda has discontinued alloy wheels and disc brakes in the rear which was standard in old vtec models and thats the time we came across linea..
As far as the power is concerned the power to weight ratio is perfect as it is just not the cc. that accounts for ..one definetly has to see the gearbox ratios that pulls in torque just like what it happens in trucks..
If for that factor in dzire diesel which is 1100 kg plus the torque and bhp created is less than linea taking into a/c of 1300kg of linea..i think the extra bhp and torque should take care of the extra pound..if its just the cc that matters then probably the trucks should probably have 10000cc plus to pull in the extra load....
