Threads on various posts gave me the idea of putting up a thread to find out the most hated manufacturer. The manufacturer includes both the company and there dealer network. So put that into equation before you click away.X may make great cars with poor after sales support. So this could be your reason. Or you dont like the name of some company. So this may also be the reason. In some case you dont like the clothes the CEO wears. So this is entirely your opinion, nothing to do with good or bad.

skoda skoda skoda !

For not launching an Octavia RS hatchback priced at 6L !!

typeOnegative · 3rd June 2005, 12:05

Well I hate all of them equally for a variety of reasons ... LOL. If you want me to pick one however, I will request you to let me pick three and those three will be - Fiat, Toyota and Honda. Fiat for ruining a good set of products. And Honda and Toyota for the premium they charge which I feel is not justified. This however is not a comment on the cars they produce which I feel are better than the others in their respective segments.

Hyundai for me.. not offering tacho in Santro. 103bhp on paper accent poor elantra which has poor interior and comfort

toyota for the such a poor corolla which has manual antenna and tube type tyres sad to know and also not giving ABS equppied cars for test drive ***.. thats from a world class company..

Tata for not launching Indica sport..

Mitsubishi - they've got great potential but their enthusiasm seems to have gone down the drain. They could have easily ruled the performance scene in Indian.

They've got some pretty good city cars like the Colt (which the smart is based on). Even the least powerful Lancer Evo would have made waves in India but instead, they still give us cars with good handling but pathetic power and the one that has power comes with a pathetic gearbox.

They seriously need to start thinking in the right direction. They've still got the options, they just need to realise it.

I dont see a reason why someone would "hate" a car maker ?? *confused*
You may dislike but hate is like...weird....eh
as for me I dislike GM cars (not just in India...) as well as Hyundai cars (Getz is the only decent looker....as per me of course)..I also dislike Toyota and Honda for their policy of not yet coming out with cheap, economical hatches which will really elevate those companies in India. Maruti, I dislike their designs and poor efforts at getting modern, nice looking cars to the market just because most people dont care or know..

speedsatya · 3rd June 2005, 14:49

honda,

for discontinuing the ohc and for the NHC.

maruti,

for still continuing with the M800 and zen .

fiat ,

for making a mess of their superb world car.

of these its honda that i have voted for.

islero · 3rd June 2005, 14:57

HM for thinking they can sell an Ambassador devoid of any safety features and with the same old archaic technology in the 21st century, and for not using their collaboration with other companies to their advantage and bring the Amby up to date

kiku007 · 3rd June 2005, 15:30

I don't hate any Car maker as such...
but there are some like Mitisubishi who have no clear vision for India.They hav such great cars in their portfolio but are reluctant to bring them here.If only they could import and provide service/spare part support for their EVO range I think a majority of Car enthusiasts will appriciate and those who have the money will surely them.may be the Financial crisis in the parent company is making them go slow here.

And I wish Honda & Toyota stop asking a premium price for their cars.

bhp · 3rd June 2005, 15:38

mitsubishi bcoz they are not launching the evo somewhere in the near future also

Sid Schumacher · 3rd June 2005, 15:41

Mitsubishi's got to be it, they've got the EVO's in their garage and even though they know we here are all crazy for speed they are delaying the launch of those mean machines.

artofzen · 3rd June 2005, 15:51

Toyota

None of their cars look good to me.

Honda
For their arrogance in stopping OHC and moreover replacing it with NHC

Skoda
For charging 50 K for those alloys which doesnt look good.(VRS i love)

BEnz
For not making a neat alloys std for E class,rather than th eugly looking one.

Hyundai

ELANTRA LOOKS

adya33 · 3rd June 2005, 16:16

At last somewhere Hyundai got my vote

Hate 'em
Bad advertising
poor fit & finish
car looks (just keep em copying)
trying o fit into something that they are not (Luxury car maker)

There are others too
Just like Linux distros every car manufacturer s*cks in their own unique way

nitrous · 3rd June 2005, 16:26

Daimler Chrysler for me.

when u pay extragavant amounts to buy and own an exotic german car on indian roads....all u get is just extagavant bill amounts. nothing else. damn DC.
