Team-BHP - View Single Post - VW, BMW to set India course by September!

A 1000 crore plant surely indicates a long term commitment, and VW has already tested Indian waters with the Skoda. They sure have been advertising of late between F1 races. Product line is a big suspense, but knowing the "people car" manufacturer...expect some class leading automobiles.

Considering that Mercedes has been around for a decade, BMW is pretty late in realising the potential of India. But the segment needs competition...offering a choice to the 30+ lakh car buyer. I just hope they dont launch that bare to the bones 318i thats priced alongside the fully loaded C200K. BMW would probably launch the 7 series first alongwith the X5...and then move downward.
