But now that those models are well-established, I doubt whether this will make serious inroads in the i20 and Polo's sales. Punto may well be affected by this.
But, spare a thought for all those souls who had paid so much money and bought the Jazz until now. If I was one of those, I would curse Honda over this! First, they ridiculously over-price the car and then, they turn their back on their staunch followers who still went and bought the car with that exorbitant price. Very bad! |
Definitely. Just think of all those Jazz buyers who bought their Jazzes till June-end or even the first week of July. What will they be going through right now?
A difference of 1.5 to 2.0L on various Jazz models?! It's not a sucker punch, it's a killer punch! Quote:

At least 2L, maybe more. They were still making profits even after covering the unofficial discounts through the dealers. Staggering amount, if you start thinking! Quote:

Anyone could confirm if these slash in prices are permanent or for a limited period of time.I still can't believe Honda has done that.1.75 lacs is a CBR250R ABS money. |
I can foresee similar slashes from other car companies in the coming months till festival time. The new Swift 2011 might also come at a delectable price, which will indeed turn the heat on!
The ASM of Shubh Honda said that these new prices are with immediate effect, and now he has 4 Jazzes left with him (two Base, two Select) and they will be sold with these new prices. For the next lot, he will go with the revised prices Honda will be sending them together with the lot. He expects it to be around 20-25K more than the revised prices mentioned now. Quote:

And that's why, with this heavy price cut, Jazz is suddenly VFM. Specially for petrol enthusiasts like me. Quote:

Which goes to show, the now-discontinued Jazz X is available at less than 7L! At least in my state, it is. If any are left in showrooms, people should be rushing to book them asap!
Another interesting point - when I enquired if Honda is thinking of discontinuing the Jazz in the near future, the ASM said that most parts which were being imported are now being manufactured in Honda's India-based plant. Ergo, the duties on them have considerably lowered down. Hence the price cuts for the City and now the Jazz, and expectedly across Honda's entire range in the coming months.
Also, Honda is going to export models from India to other countries in the near future. He has just returned today from a Honda top-level honchos meeting in Mumbai, so there's no reason to disbelieve him.
