61 Passats and 215 Jettas.
Naveen,
The breakup is in terms of size and not price.
The A4 is actually 4703mm, just 3 mm more than the segment in which the C Class and 3 Series fall.
Hence, I would say it is safe to assume that 90 A4s and A6s were sold.
I feel the 26 units sold by Audi would either be the TT Coupe, or the Q5, as both of them are shorter than 4700 mm.

Add to that there investment in a new plant during this financial year. major contribution to this may be because of this investment.

August 2009 sales figures could result in a higher growth because of
1. base effect: see Aug 08 which indicated a slowdown from around Jul 2008.
2. recovery in sales from jun 09.
These two factors mean that while the numerator (Aug 2009) is increasing, the denominator (Aug 2008) had declined.

In addition, one big factor would be the forthcoming Shradh fortnight from around 5-19 Sep. Many people do not buy a car during these 15 days.

Compared with 8/08, these are Honda growth figs:
Jazz: not applicable
City: -8.2%
Civic: -61%
Accord: -50.2%
CRV: -40.2%
Total: 4%
Clearly, Jazz has contributed to sales. On a like to like basis (existing portfolio of 8/08, sales down 22%)

Compared with 7/09, the growth figs:
Jazz: -0.8%
City: -22.4%
Civic: -22.7%
Accord: 2.7%
CRV: 157%
Total: -15.5%

Customer's `compromise' is becoming serious for some makers.

Correctly analysed, Couple of guys in my office bought a linea and another guy bought a fiesta all this month due to Shradh coming next month.

The more reliable way to analyse growth is year on year (8/09 over 8/08). This reduces seasonal and unexpected effects to a larger extent, but is still not entirely accurate. However, it is far more reliable than month on month (8/09 over 7/09). Month on month can be useful in times of recession or slowdown when an uptick over the previous month can mean more sales, cash, and profits.

Internationally accepted standards are yoy, but mom is also used to prove some trend or reversal of some trend. if you read the GDP growth numbers yesterday, you saw a headline of 6.1% growth in Q1 compared with 5.8% in Q4FY09. that means GDP in Q1FY2010 (Apri-Jun) increased 6.1% compared with Q1FY2009 (April-Jun 08). If you analysed quarter on quarter, you would find a decline of 10%!!!. This is because Jan-mar quarter is always the busiest season. Similarly, everyone knows that Indian economy entered a period of slowdown in Oct-Dec 08 when GDP growth yoy was 5.8%, compared with 7.7% yoy in Jul-Sep 2008. However, if you analysed growth for Oct-Dec 08 over Jul-Sep 08, you would find GDP growing at 11.3% in Oct-Dec 08.

So qoq analysis would mean economy was booming in Oct-Dec 08, but is declining in Apr-Jun 09!!!

Honda cuts production before an upgrade. This year, Accord was upgraded, Jazz was launched, Civic updrade us due and CRV launch is planned for end of year. All these means lower numbers but still better in most segments.

If we compare pricewise segmentation, Honda is not leading in any segment except for the ANHC. All their models are going truely premium now (sales numbers reflecting the likes of other high end premium cars).

Hardcore H fan?

Accord is selling even poorer after the upgrade - superb beat it in numbers in the last two months.

Civic upgrade is due - but then Jazz is a new car that did not exist last year and hence addtional business and numbers. CRV has been going down in sales since last 6 months - can't be for a year end launch.

They have just out priced their reliablity.
