Hi!
hyundai are masters in marketing
the facts are here
first : there is no road tax increase in karnataka state budget for the next year. it stands where it is before.
second : show rooms give ex showroom price which does not include road tax
third : all companies make the same cheating in india . this what iam experiancing since 1991 . that is the time manmohan started the eco reforms and started reducing tax rates( excise and customes) on various goods. for the first time all comapnies( even match box makers) announced price cuts imm after budget and increased the same silently after few months
next year onwards they never announced price cut even after budget cuts.
take recent example of VAT. due to VAT car prices should have gone down by at least 5%. but except TATA none other decreased the price
now for hyundai. they are selling the same car( santro) since past 7-8 years. indica came after that. but u see any car magzine oe website they will say indica is dated and needs replacement. but they do not say the same about santro. u go to www.indiacar.com and ask the so called expert car guru . u ask him u wanted to buy zen/wagonr/palio. he will reply u buy santro even when u have not asked him about it. it is so evident. in one answer it was so blatent that he said no where in the country the difference between diesel and petrol is Rs 15 ( here in bangalore it is ) and he said indica diesel will give max of 10 KMPl where as santro will give u 12-14. and the price for petrol os 48 diesel 38. so it does not workout to buy indica. this is the answer. fuel prices are the highest in bangalore where diesel costs Rs 36/- so where in india diesel costs Rs 38/ltr only www.indiacar.com knows
from this it is clear the hyundai are very good in marketing
so they want to increase their profits at govt expense by increasing the prices.
the best one can do is to forget about that company and its products |
