Kudos to Hyundai for breaking into the top 10!

BTW, notice that of the top 10, 8 are present in India. No.s 8 and 9, Peugeot-Citroen and Chrysler LLC are'nt. How long before Peugeot plans a comeback into the booming Indian car market.

Yup, The Indian market is very competitive. Evere company needs to rethink it's marketting strategy before doing business here. Unfortunately, Some overthink it

.Regarding Peugeot, Ive been wondering as to what happened to them. Hopefully they didn't lose interest in this market :( .Heres hoping they think of a comeback. Theres still room for more cheers:

hyundai really deserves a lot of credit for beating honda considering hondas establishment in market, portfolio,number of models and also the fact they have premium brand like acura.

considering all this hyundai has really made a lot of effort

Congratulations to Hyundai!! Many people calls them Korean-Krap but its in Top 5!!
I made a decision in 1999 to go for Hyundai Santro versus Daewoo Matiz. And I can say that for a moment in 9 years I never felt that I made a wrong decision.

That's very pleasing news for a Hyundai and Toyota owner!! I'm quite happy. They go about their job pretty well, if not exceedingly well. It does deserve some credit. especially in the Indian market.

ya, and the accent is just lovely! it does with aplomb all that it needs to.... it may not be superfast or a special handler, but it is a brilliantly balanced package and very very reliable! i just love the way it looks too, no wonder why i went in for that and never regretted the decision!

I'm also in love with my Accent 1.6L and Elantra CRDi The way both the cars handles at high speeds. Really great package, especially Elantra CRDi.

My next target Petefied Verna CRDi.

My 3rd Love.
