What we need is a mid segment hybrid and that isnt possible unless an indian manufacturer launches a true hybrid. That would be the real great moment in Indian Automotive History.
Yes and even if Honda manages to bring that price tag to 15-16lakh, it has to fight out with diesels like Laura and is close to Hyundai Sonata Diesel. And with now the diesel technology taken a leap ahead, at this price point, Civic hybrind doesnt make sense.
