10 lacs? If it comes, it'll well be over 15 lacs. And it'll be a CBU anyway for a small market.

Since it had engine ranging from 90 bhp thats y i quoted 10 lakhs, I really dont think any car company would come out with a car with no power(90bhp) @ the price you suggested, but I would give it the 10-15 lakhs range.

no way , this car is coming to India.
there is no market for it. that too at 12-15 laks for a 90 hp car. no way.
and GM will take no risks launching another opel ( as none of the opel brands have succedded in India)

they did rather concentrate on the Chevy's now.
