Interesting thoughts! I must say. But remove the hype - I would still say that the comparison of an i10 should be done with Wagon R/Zen Estilo/Spark etc(as Phamilyman and DCEite have also pointed out and outlined the details) What Hyundai has done here is clever marketing/positioning here and created a niche. I argue on the same in this thread here and salute their efforts.

Before i10 did it, people did not think this was possible . In Marketing parlance, they addressed a "gap or a customer need which existed in the market". But it is always so easy to be wise in retrospect.

Similarly for the supposedly 80K 'premium' (spark anywaz is smaller than i10 and competes with Estilo) what you are getting is a remakably better city car (built, interiors, finishing), with a better A.S.S. and most importantly something that will hold its resale much better

I agree. In the thread here, I have argued equally forcefully on why I bought an i10 for my parents over other cars in that segment.

I mean what do people expect? That all competing cars be priced within 1000 rs of each other??

Sorry, buddy , you are losing sense of proportion here. But I am sure you did not mean that literally

. Rs.80,000 is not the same as Rs.1000.
