| I saw the title and picture and put my post overlooked the ending paragraph of the article ![]() However, it is news for me to know Daihatsu is Toyota's group company. I was always wondering on the quality of Daihatsu vehicles be its Sirion Hatchback or its small Terios model 4x4 SUV. I can relate the high quality of daihatsu now! ![]()

| BHPian | Toyota Kirloskar lost the plot long time ago in the Indian market. They have the same mindset as the Birlas(Hindustan Motors et al), which is sell outdated products at twice the asking price and loot the buying public. Sorry. Whatever they do will not gain them the leverage they had for a little bit and blew away. And, the mainstream Japanese companies aren't really keen on developing the Indian market. The Japs are wary and jealous of India. Toyota supports their Pak subsidiary far more than they do the TKM project. They sell cheap variants of the Corolla and sell more than 37000 cars in Pak market in a year.They also offer a cheaper variant of the Charade in the Pak market. Witness Nissan's approach to the Indian market also. Nissan has licensed the Sunny for assembly in Pak. What does the Indian marke tget?.Suzuki is big in India. But then, GM has a big stake in Suzuki. You catch my drift?.... Last edited by nickatnite : 16th April 2008 at 15:14. |

The main reason behind inhibitions in the big players mind is more with global economy and not jealousy, Toyota cannot Ignore India if it wants to acheive/retain world#1 position. India is too big a ball game to Ignore by ANY player. Lets keep our fingers crossed and watch for a few more months.

| BHPian | Dudes, there is really no conspiracy from the Japanese side they just do a little more market research than other thats all. and nobody seem to complain about that,after all they are introducing into our market a solid product right ? and these so called outdated models, why did people buy it if it was that overpriced and outdated ? Some may say because they had no other choice.why did they not have any other choice ? because no other manufactures make such good cars or even if there were better cars in the market nobody is willing to take a chance. Toyota or Honda not by any chance have not gives out an underrated product in our market unlike our local manufacturers(TATA,HM). It's no conspiracy it's just that they are doing it at a slower pace come 2011 lets see how the small car market is. ![]() |

| ^^ on the above post. What is the localization content of the parts in Corolla or Innova. What is the % of this localized parts cost to that of the total cost of all the parts. As far as I am aware, the highly critical parts of the engine is imported. Since it is being imported, these parts will bear an obnoxious thing called as import duty sending the cost skywards....... Of course these Japanese car makers are definitely having higher margins for their cars, there is an influence on the cost which is out of the company's control (say the government norms)...... Hope this made sense. |

| BHPian | Toyota or Honda is not to blame for the 108% import duty imposed by our government, if there was no such thing who would buy a Corolla or a CRV ? if you ask me i would get my self an Audi A4 for 12 Lakhs or maybe a BMW 325d for 13 lakhs. so the Mercedes which costs 110,000 Dirhams in UAE costs 28 Lakhs in Kerala . and the the Corolla which costs 52,000 Dirhams in UAE costs just 9,91,000 in Kerala sort of feels like the corolla is under priced for what it offers and the vehicle price. 85 percentage of the parts of the Corolla is imported ,just some parts like horns(By Roots Coimbatore),seat materials & fabrics,Glass Parts,Tyres and Alloys are almost what is made in India,But In the Innova There is a little more Localisation Involved. Honda's and Toyota Dealer Network will increase to a 110 percentage of what is now, by the year 2011 (the time when their small cars will rule the rest). It's nobody else's blame but our government, for these kind of slow developments.It's not tough to get an import license after manufacturing something in our country ,All we have to do is bribe the Export License Issuer. But just try selling the same thing in the domestic market,We will have to Bribe,Bribe,Bribe the whole State or the government. |

| I am simply tired of hearing that Toyota is doing this and that. What man? Where is the Fortuner? And Bring the latest generation Yaris in india in 2010, not the present version that will be old in 2010.

| Fortuner? Yaris??..where's the next gen corolla for crying out loud!!..but the small car revolution in India is getting crazier by the day...The once ignored Indian market has now evolved into a small car hub..manufacturers are infact tailor making small cars to suit Indian conditions...we have come a long way, haven't we? |

| Toyota YARIS Hatchback/Sedan if launched can beat all the Premium hatches/Mid segment sedans as it has all it takes to lure the current generation of buyers.
