well Honda is talking about bringing in the Civic hybrid as a CBU as early as april 2008.
I really wish the govt. wakes up and gives some sops on hybrid cars to make them affordable. I'll be in the market for a new car in the next year or two to replace my NHC. I've got addicted to the NHC's high FE and buying a bigger car (Civic) with lower FE just does not appeal to me. I will seriously consider a hybrid, if the price is right. I don't want to be punished with 100% duty for aspiring to own cleaner, more fuel efficient technology.
In 2009, Honda does plan to come out with a small, affordable hybrid. that should come to India sooner or later.
Let's hope for the best. |
