The cat is out! The issue is not about having older and new models together but the way pricing has been done between them. I am not sure whether the new ALTO (read A-STAR in India) is sold with such price difference in other markets. Since Alto is sold alongside MSIL is voluntarily placing A-Star above it which is not justified. The same happened to i10 too. Now the manufacturers have understood the indian minds or rather driven them in the way they wanted to such pricing methods.
Every manufacturer has to find innovative designs and features according to the growth of the industry. If they think they can charge a premium for every model they introduce in the market. Then they will learn their lessons in time. |
