Dont know whats stopping them from going for the kill. Maybe production constraints, with the Swift-D itself not being able to meet the demand. Also with the SX4-Zxi.

So, it clearly means that SX4 is now leader in premium C segment? BTW, any idea of NHC units sold?

How can SX4 be the leader when the numbers of it competition are not known?

NHC was leader till SX4's debut. And in May itself (when SX4 debuted) SX4 became top selling in premium C. When SX4's sales is boosted, I am sure it is leader this month as well.

4839 = Esteem + Baleno (Few unsold ones) + SX4
Wish your gut feeling comes true

As I enquired MUL dealers during early this year, they said that Baleno is almost sold out. So, this number could be not more than 100s.

Unfortunately no manufacturer gives break up of entry & premium C segments. I will check with Automags.

And.....guess what....

Accord does not have MP3 player. Only plain old audio CD!

It seems, according to Honda, if you are rich, you will not listen to mp3. Only wav and wma....

ha ha ha...

How about Logan? From past 3 months, they were the leaders in this segment.....

anandpadhye · 3rd September 2007, 16:55

And what about the Grand Vitara figures?
Has it beaten the CR-V?
