I saw on CNBC that M&M sold 3020 Xylo's and Scorpio's last month!

Do note that it's 3020 Xylo's and 3020 Scorpio's.

Maruti Suzuki sold 7,92,167 vehicles in 2008-09, a growth of 3.6% over last year.

The annual sales in 2008-09 is the highest ever by the company in its 25 year history. The previous highest annual sales were 7,64,842 units in 2007-08.

The company's sales included exports of 70,023 units in 2008-09, up by 32.1% over exports of 53,024 recorded in 2007-08. Export tally includes around 19,000 units of A-Star exported to Europe including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland.

I dont think City ZX would comprise of 10 % of 6040 nos. I think dealers do have very minimal stock left. As already mentioned this sudden surge in sales was mainly cos of March and people didnt want to pay 35k price hike from April 1st. My dealer did mention that they had booking for almost 150 City's two weeks back, thats quite good.

Nice to see Civic sales improving finally ( Or was this also because of price hike which was announced in March for Civic).

Skoda Mom.

. I like that

Well For ANHC if this is 35k effect or no , we will know by april may 09 numbers.

Also they are still selling NHC which was supposedly stopped during November 08 And few are still in stock as of april 09.

Slightly

, but IS this 35k addition coming with some additional features?
( Better be else the number may go down again)

got to know offhand from a dealer that Linea sold around 2000 in march.
not official, just a discussion in passing
if 2000 is true, is it a good no. considering March boom effect?

@ BomBatt

Can't keep a good thing down !

neotraveller · 2nd April 2009, 20:34

Well, till Jan/Feb I hardly saw an ANHC in Hyderabad.

From past few weeks, there's ANHCs jumping out at me from every nook and corner, almost like making fun of me for being cynical about its success.

I guess the novelty factor of ANHC is already gone, so to speak.

oss · 2nd April 2009, 22:21

Shouldn't they hold the price hike, now that the Yen is sliding.....

I will second that, only last month I have started seeing a lot of ANHC on road, but guess what, most of them were white. Hope it has nothing to do with the elections, usually they use people movers.

But I have only seen 2 lineas so far on the road, both were Flamico Red strange I would say.

jimmzbond · 2nd April 2009, 22:53

I havn't seen even a single Linea in Gurgaon (except for one in Fiat showroom). I waited for any Linea to be seen on road so that i can be brave enough to order my Linea.
So, finally a became a follower for the masses - I bought ANHC EMT - Albaster Silver on 30th March (before price hike).
Sorry Fiat
