An Alto-D, if made to respectable standards, would have cleaned up the Indica. But of course thats not possible for an Alto. You're conveniently avoiding any comparision between an Indian made car and a car R&D'd and produced outside India. That would serve as a fair comparision for this point, dont you think?

Not really (example? Accord). And the red tape involved with setting up production here, I'm surprised some of the fellows who came here to sell their wares ever did !! Point is, imports should be freed up (meaning bring the %duty down so something within the limits of sanity! I remember saying I agree with your points, but not completely. It can't totally be done away with, I agree). The Germans aren't made everywhere they're sold AFAIK, and definitely not the Italians.
