Unlucky you for not buying a hyundai. They're now the 3rd best brand after Porsche and Lexus. It's not me who told this but the world renowned JD Power.

Since he already owns porsche or Lexus why would he go for third best ?

Verna is a car a guy can me like buy. Look at Honda! good car, no gimicks and a high price! And see what Ford did, a 68bhp NEW car! why! And whats Suzuki gonna do? Bring mother's new big car?

My new BIG car; Hyundai Verna, 110bhp. Oh I have a doubt, teh CRDi for verna would be?

Isnt this the same model we saw at the Autoshow?

If its the new Accent sold in N.America, I dont see a reason to buy it. The space is so less you can almost suffocate.

I couldnt fit my legs in the rear. Even the interiors suck. But the boot space is big. And if they provide powerful engines then the sales can be modest.

Not as much as the Accent. I just loved the civic si.

I rate the Euro Civic the best, followed by the Civic Si or 2 door coupe and then the sedan. Hey devarshi, isn't the civic already looking outdated now. It's been on sale for just a few months and all the futuristic looks went into thin air in just few months. Noone gives the civic a second glance nowadays.

devarshi84 · 20th June 2006, 04:27

You are right in a way. Civic doesnt really infuse any excitement anymore in US. especially against Nissan and Mazda. The A-pillar and the dual-dials are a sure recipe of Disaster. I dont think the later will be carried to India. Anybody got any ideas on this one?

But yes the civic is Europe is more exciting. The Euro Civic hatch at 7-8 lacs can still kill the competing brands.

BTW while hyundai ads claim to be best-selling cars, I hardly see any on the road here.

I saw the car 2day @ 9:10am 2 day @ kathiperra junction...
Actually 2 cars....
2 white cars covered in the front as well as the back with a black cover....
I could not say the car looked cool rockin or anything...It looked 2 me as though it waz under crash diet 2 reduce dimensions....

I think i saw the D version.....The engine made an amazing noise....I tryed 2 catch up and get a photo but the car waz damm fast....I saw the car again when i got my car fuelled at Indian Oil near Radisson...It just left the bunk.......Bad Luck damm

May be some1 else might get a pic of it.....

Dont worry.They wont insist :-)

I hope the new Verna Crdi is torquier than the accent crdi.that would be yumm.And do sincerely hope that they have done something about the rear seat.After a dose of 6 hours in a honda city rear seat,accent's rear seat comfort is on an all time low on my wish list.

Although Hyundai would love to do a maruti or a skoda by plonking in Verna above the current accent,I dont think they will do that.Because plonking Verna in any territory above accent will kill elantra.
