![]() The other way to think about it of course is that both (Fed and Honda) have given up ![]() Quote:
Anyways, as Equus said, great job! @mdsaab: See if you can get cash instead of accessories. When I was going to get the refund of the extra road tax amount back, I took ~4.5k INR in cash and the ~1.5k in accessories. So it's possible if you push. In my case it could've been easier as I caught them red-handed. A "greenfield" discount could be a different matter. Quote:
Absolutely Sir! As I said, I went irrational and bought a Civic and I'm loving every minute of it. And this thread so far has mostly seen posts from people like me. Apologies for digressing from the main topic at hand there for a bit. Regards, spadix Last edited by spadix : 6th June 2011 at 23:19. | |||

My dear friend Mdsaab are you TD'ing ANHC when you visit your Chicca at the dealer for getting the rear ending done ?? I am sure ANHC won't appeal you much (other than running economy & may be looks) when you already have CIVIC. If you are really serious in booking ANHC then my 2 cents here; please do compare the offers at Crystal Honda. Crystal Honda is known for more better deals than Deccan Honda as far as I have seen. I have atleast 3 friends who got better deals at Crystal Honda than Deccan Honda - no harm in giving it a shot. If you are interested then I have some connections there you can try and pull those strings to get the best deal out of them. | |

| ![]() Just posting here an ad which appeared in my local newspaper a couple of months ago. I can't quite believe Honda's having to stoop so low to sell their cars! |

BANNED | ![]() 3-cylinder sedan? Which car are they referring to? As far as I know, after Accent CRDi's departure, there is none currently in the market. |

You are right. But look at the standards of these dealers. This guy is a Honda dealer, a brand of repute. And being a Honda dealer, he must have been in this business for a long time and yet he speaks about a 3-cyl sedan which does not exist in India. |

Probably the dealer who has put this ad (obviously not Honda) doesn't know that the Vento which is based on the 3 cylinder Polo (at least the 1.2) comes with 4 cylinder engine. |

With dealers having such knowledge of competing products, god help Honda ![]() OT: Would surely be interesting to know what Ads he has planned once the new Verna and Fiesta start flying off the shelf. | |

Honda's woes can be SOLELY put down to arrogance and complacency. Indians' infatuation with the brand managed to mask a whole bunch of shortcomings (ridiculous styling, poor trim levels, inflated price tags, dealer and service center arrogance, and inflated service costs. Ive never been a fan of Honda cars in India (despite driving an Accord at one point) and I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying watching their pigeons come home to roost. | |

| ![]() What if Honda decides to reduce the price of their best selling car, City by 1 lac, for say a month? That will be a mouth watering prospect. They still can make huge profits on volumes. Every other sedan, be it Vento, Verna, SX4,Fiesta etc etc will be jacked to death. Honda being such a stupid Bonda will never ever do that ![]() |
