for Hyundai.

I am sure i10 is giving sleepless nights to Maruti and it must be furiously working at a Wagon R replacement. Infact expect good discounts on Wagon R!!

Stellar performance from Honda as usual! Though CRV should watch out now that Captiva is doing well and news of Oulander coming soon!

Honda city, SX4, Verna, Fiesta. Out of 4 City is the leader, SX4 picking up and once Diesel comes it will go way ahead. Verna doing good.

excellent work to pull up the sales chart here.

Last year for the period Jan-Apr Aveo has sold 2261 all over India
the same period for this year - 1588 all over India despite GM has launched a refurbished Spl edition the number dipped to almost 700 numbers

it is high time they bring a diesel - if priced sensibly it will give Fiesta & Verna a run for their money.

I just don't understand car manufactures launching in India without diesels (SX4,Aveo) - when clearly diesel sells volumes.

[shortbread]

Strangely GM has a decent car at the bottom of every segment, they don't seem to do well over a long period. Although there is nothing wrong with their cars and are competitively priced (not to mention the huge dealer discounts) ,its no where near to being an outright success. STRANGE

Apart from checking how the cars fared against each other. Its interesting to note the geographical distribution as well.

I am looking at the east zone selling far less number of cars than the rest.

I have seen more than 5 in a fortnight and it looks a hell lot better than the CRV for sure, is a 7-seater, is a diesel and is almost similarly priced.
