Hey amit, another way to look at it is this, 2500 cars for VW means only 2 cars are headed from the VW stable.
Phaeton and maybe Touareg.
My question is thoe, would anyone want to spend more than Rs. 30 lakh on a VW badge in India? The move is highly questionable. It would be strange to watch a master strategist like Bernd Pscheitsreider make a tactical and expensive error like this.
Also note, the Golf won't come cheap in India. I guess its starting price would be as high as Rs. 6 lakh making it completely unviable for production here. I assume if they do enter the volumes segment, they might look at getting the Polo. I doubt even the entry of Passat, since it means competition to Skoda.
Speculation is all we can live on as of right now. A month or two from now i hope this fog of doubt clears out.
