Now here is an interesting point. Why does a Fiesta that is made in India cost so much? Are some parts still imported? I believe some parts in cars like Accords and Lauras are still imported which drives up their cost. Are cars like the Swift that sell well enough in the Indian market to justify shifting all production to India available at the same cost in India as opposed to the rest of the world?
