aaggoswami, You are evidently easier to please than I am.

The price difference is simply too much to tolerate

You are entitled to your opinion, but (I might add) part of the minority. NHC sales prove that buyers feel the premium is well worth it and the sales number seem to prove it. But yes, I will agree that the NHC is a tad overpriced. No doubt on that. You know what that proves? The obvious....as you go higher up the food chain, price sensitivity is lesser and people are willing to pay a premium.

Going by your standards, Maruti Omni/800, Swift Dzire are not sold in Europe they why cry about the WAFER BOOT LID OF DZIRE.

Oh boy, from the Euro NCAP to the Omni / 800….I might remind you that the OHC isn't sold anymore. Lets compare the safety of the NHC versus the Omni. But you conveniently wouldn't go there, would you? Do you see the utter lack of logic in this comparison?

Its not price, its real brand, and that it why honda city's real competetion is SX4

Correct, thank you for repeating for I have already said. They are indeed *real competition* to each other. And the last 6 month sales show that NHC is more popular.
Quote:
The point is that you have quoted Suzuki cars as not a reputed brand
|
I think you should go back and read my posts again. Obviously, and for good reason, M / Suzuki enjoy tremendous brand equity in India. Especially for the small cars.
Where they lack brand value is in most developed markets, and in the higher segments.

because of product quality, but I dont agree with that.

Quote:
Yes the product quality is not great,

Ok, I think you need to decide first. Do you agree that product quality is great or not great? You statements are pretty self-contradictory.
Just a simple example:
Quote:
Yes I had to replace my clutch after about 20,000 kms as it was starting to slip.
|
Why? My Esteem and Zen didn’t require a clutch overhaul before 75,000 kms. Heck, even my 800 had its clutch changed at over 50K. Why the heck do the new generation Marutis require a clutch overhaul at 20,000 kms only?
Do you see my point?
Quote:
So if we can blame maruti, why not honda. The point here is that maruti is unnecessarily targeted.
|
Please search through the forums and find all the posts where Honda has been *targeted* (as you call it) by me too! I am sure you will end up very satisfied. You need to see through my previous posts / threads before putting up an accusation of *targeting* any particular manufacturer. I call a spade a spade.

Go to highway and you will come to know the difference after 85-90kmph.

Unfortunately for you, most buyers care about the cars behaviour at speeds of less than 100 kph, and not over, because that is where they spend 99% of their driving time.
I think you ought to go back and read comments from Swift / SX4 owners who are in agreement with me, albeit at varying levels. I would much appreciate you being objective in your discussions henceforth.
