since volvo car division is owned by ford, kairali ford got the dealership in cochin and they can operate volvo and ford dealerships from same office.

but in case of sdoka and VW, VW has to put up a new dealership EVM, even though marikar was already there.

but anticipating the barnds like tata-rover launch, tata may come up with their reowned dealership "concorde-motors" in kerala

Wonder who would pay that much for a Prado. You can get a Montero 3.2 for half that with warranty, or a Prado V6 with 30 lakhs to spend on petrol.

I agree with you on this. There are few people who do spend. The montero is cheaper but not in the same league as the Prado diesel. The Prado V6 would not leave you 30 lakhs to spare but around 15 to 20 lakhs to spare. I got one and it was for more than 35 lakhs.

Don't a lot of people get the prado to replace it with lexus badging?

Maybe this is why many people people prefer the prado over the montero.

You mean the Toyota Land Cruiser 101's that had their badgeing replaced with the Lexus ones. The Prado's never had their badgeing replaced with the Lexus.
The prado is a far superior car than the Montero. The petrol version compared to the Montero is doing well.

How do you know this particular vehicle is badged? Its not a picture from India.

Its not possible to simply change badges. Grille, headlight, hood, fender tailight etc are all different.
