Will less space at the backseat of skoda be the determining factor in your buying a car among the 2?

Those who dont sit in the back seat will always think so. I dont understand why would a person shell out 15Lacs for a RS when you can get a Toyota Celica for 18L, both have same rear legroom and again Will less space at the backseat of celica be the determining factor in your buying a car among the 2?

Will a Honda competitor to Mercedes be successful in the Indian market?
mercedes benz has the Brand value in India that Honda can only dream of attaining. Skoda had similar problems with Superb.

Who said that, Honda is the only manufacturer in India which has more or similar brand value as the Merc, infact people have more blind faith in Honda then in Mercedes, so Honda aint dreaming, they are living their dreams, rather Power of dreams.

But the backseat space here is less as in the the least in the segment but still better than c segment cars.

Honda City (New)/Optra 1.6 have way more legroom and more space at the back then the NHC, even Skoda guys agree on that.

Cedia/Elantra/Optra competitor that is almost similarly equipped?
|
The Skoda is equipped well but the car is not apt for people more then 6 footers. Even when the drivers seat is pushed back to the max( i am not even considering the rear passenger behind the driver) butttttt the driver himself cannot sit comfortably, the steering wheel touches your thigh and your head touches the roof. Also look at the
Skodas UK site and you will see that the Indian Octy has similar price as the Laura (Octavia II) in UK, so who is doping us, Skoda or Honda?? Atleast Hondas have down to earth spares so once you buy it you can atleast live with it. The Laura hasnot been able to affect the sales of the 3.0L Ivtec Accord because of the name and the cost of spares.

If civic is priced at 13 or above, are you sure you wont have second thoughts for a Optra/Cedia/Elantra/Corolla?

I would surely have buttttttt still the Civic would sell like hot cakes and it still would be the pick of the class.

cedia CNG is just around the corner to be released. I dunno if any other manufacturer is also coming out but options are always good.

Chevrolet s coming up with a CNG powered Optra. But i feel LPG would make much more sense since its easy to find at pumps as well as its more efficient and doesnot harm the engine as much as CNG and there is no loss in power.
P.S devarshi i guess the 1.8 TPI engine is make you go towards the Skoda, but they have not even built it, the engine has been built by Audi so no credit to Skoda at all, only thing Skoda is good at designing similar looks cars, the Fabia, OCty, Laura, Superb all looks so sodaish and then add the features from the parent VAG of companies and thats the only reason why Skoda brand is still living.
