Re: October 2011 : Indian Car Sales & Analysis Now we get to the part that is a little bit worrying. As most companies forecast the yearly sales to set up manufacturing cycles earlier in the year (or at times last year itself), there is a strong possibility of companies shutting down production for the rest of the year to try and save up on costs that arise due to missed forecast.
Proof of Theory - A friend of mine ordered a White Polo 1.2 Trendline (petrol) during the last week of October, after much hassles - VW showroom confirms that the production has been stopped and the only option is to go for a breeze model or choose another color (the only other option is red).
It becomes more clear that Breeze edition of VW polo was introduced to try and clear up stocks as soon as possible - BUT - i think the VW missed their calculations once again this year and this is surely going to upset quite a few folks.
Personally, I forecast quite a few unhappy VW prospect customers (and TBHPians) in the next few weeks. And something tells me my forecast is sure to be more accurate than VW's |
