Another word for automobile..!

"Can you believe it," said the wife, pointing to an article in the same newspaper I was doing a crossword, "The country's flooded with foreign cars. Look at them, tell me what we should buy?"
"Look," I said, trying desperately to finish the crossword. "I'm not one of those millionaires. I'm just a writer, who is content with what he's got."
"Don't I know that," said my wife angrily, "If it wasn't for me, you would still be riding to work on a bicycle and carrying me on the crossbar in front!"
"I thought you liked that," I said, going back to the crossword. "What I would like better," said the wife, "Would be to sit next to you, and watch our neighbour's face, when we drive out in a Mercedes."
"A Mercedes," I shouted nearly falling out of my chair. "D' you know what they cost?"
"They are being manufactured here," said my wife, "So it won't be so costly."
"But a Mercedes," I stammered.
"Okay, maybe not a Mercedes," she said quickly. "Not with the kind of work you do."
"What's wrong with my work?" I asked. "You still have money for your kitty parties and housie sessions!"
"Ah, my kitty parties," said my wife staring into the distance. "Wouldn't I love driving there in a Skoda Octavia. Its diesel and its only ten and half lakhs!"
"Ten and a half what?" I shouted, "Woman, if I had ten and a half lakhs I could retire and…"
"…do more crossword puzzles," said my wife looking at me contemptuously. "Okay, not a Skoda, maybe a Honda Civic would be more in your budget. Though I'm sure everybody in the kitty group would have one."
"How much," I asked cautiously "Is a Honda Civic?"
"Around eight..!"
"Eight what?" I whispered, D'you think they'll sell us just the steering wheel?"
"What kind of a car, my dear husband, would you like to go in for?"
"A rough and tough car," I said proudly, "A car that can weather the Indian roads."
"There's one here" said my wife, quickly scanning the Times again. "It's rugged and tough and it can take you anywhere. The Scorpio!"
"Look," I said, "I don't want to disappoint you but that isn't what I'm thinking about."
"Ah," said the wife sweetly, "What exactly were thinking off? You said you wanted one that would weather the Indian roads?"
"Yes," I said meekly, "Maybe an old Fiat or a second hand Ambassador."
"How dare you?" shouted the wife.
"I'm sorry," I whispered trying to hide behind my precious crossword, "I'm sorry but I think I'm stuck……do you know another word for automobile?"
