The problem is not who is the king but that the king is overpriced ,but then if one can afford the best or doesn't like the pricing civic is still the best .
Like all of you guys i also think that civic is overvalued and shouldn't be more than 10 lacks ,but sadly people have endorsed it they ready to pay the premium for the looks interiors and exteriors where as cedia was not cheap but when it didn't sell at all HM had to lower the price in a way excepting to sell a outdated product that cannot compete to Honda civic but is far below than even corolla ,life is not all about a good suspension out side OF T-BHP Which can do corners at 140 Km pH like the cedia Also the HM is financially eroded company some people are not even sure weather it will be here or gone in times to come ,this is a 2001 model lancer which unfortunately is launched so late when it was near its end of life cycle in th rest of the world it simply cannot be compared to Honda Civic launched in 2006 with looks and style which already looks ready as 2009 model , if mitsu had any plans they should have come out with the new lancer and not the old one so as to stand in the competition
And i sincerely hope that they come with a new lancer before 2009 and not 2011 other wise it will also have the same fate and will start near 12 lacks and come to 9 lacks
I had recommended 4-5 people in last year to buy a Cedia
But to my utter shock they chose to buy Honda city and one guy bought corolla (forget about comparison with civic ,and city is the car i hate the most but people buying it in frenzy )
