Adya, I partly agree and partly dont to what you have said. Let me tell you one thing,,the younger generation is the future of the industry and what they want cannot be undermined considering several constraints like fuel economy, bad roads etc...as we consumers keep complaining and keep buying whet we want(pretty human actualy)!!! Just for example, we at Tbhp have loads of OHC, Baleno and Skoda fanatics and mind you all these cars are not just power but top of the line fuel economy as well.

The NHC wasnt all that appreciated in here is predominantly coz of its shape and not coz its underpowered. Everyone here knows it damn well that th NHC has a great ride quality(not sure of handling) , great economy and overall practicality but a consumer who can afford that car wouldnt bother 1 or so kmpl lesser in contrast to few bhps more if possible, at the same package cost. Remmember "WE" are enthusiasts, not just drivers or commuters...that gives us the right to ask more, than few companies have to offer in their products. As a matter of fact we are the people who push industries and companies into advancing and improving their products and others would use it being mute at all... There were days when we were at a loss of option and had to settle with what we were offered but today with all the heat building within several companies the game is all about giving the consumer that one thing that they have been deprived of with other products and thats exactly where the companies would need people like us to get them insync with the standard requirement in the industry.

If you look at this furum alone closely, you might find a caliedoscope of likes and dislikes...but at the end of all the friction and commotion, we as mature consumers endup verdicting on whats good, whats better and whats best and though few of them would continue contradicting, the majority is convinced in their minds...Now, the end result that we derive out all the brianstorming is I think invaluable to a developing company!!!

To sum it up, there wouldnt be forums like this one if there wasnt a critical output, as most of us know what we are talking and I reckon every bit of it is worth paying a closer attention...

Indian Automobile companies "Are you listening"????"Are you considering"????
