    Nissan Sunny gets off to a slow start, despite great value for money

    Nissan shook up the entry-level and mid-size sedan segment with its great value-for-money pricing during its launch on September 20. However, sales have been slightly sluggish thereafter with 659 units only being booked by customers in the past 10 days

        This is just the start for Nissan. And the present Sunny is the Petrol variant. I am surprised that there are 659 cars sold despite the erratic petrol price. The Diesel version should give us the precise picture.

        People are quite clear. Below Rs.10 lakh, 7 out of 10 buyers would go either for a Maruti, Hyundai or Ford than new brands like VW, Nissan.. Reason? Buyers are concerned about resale value, after sales and services, spare parts cost.

        Remember the premium pricing Nissan demanded for Micra? Its starting at 5.72 lakh for base variant and Rs.6.17 lakh for the top-end variant whereas the petrol variants starts at Rs. 4.10 and ends at Rs. 5.38. If the same pricing strategy followed in Sunny, they would offer just two variants, base variant at Rs. 8 lakh and top-end variant at Rs. 8.6 lakh

        Actually, the market size for Sunny like cars is more than 1,500 units a month. Hence, this is pretty low. Further, if the first month sales haven’t been that great.. it simply shows the car in itself doesn’t attract that much… this is just my opinion…

    Honda Brio V MT road test: City slicker

    The Honda Brio is a car that draws mixed emotions – some like the quirky looks, some not so much. We for one think it’s quite fresh and stands out in the crowd. For a car that looks small, the Brio surprisingly packs in plenty of interior cabin space for the occupants. That, combined with the peppy, yet frugal, 1.2 litre engine are what make the Brio stand out as a great urban car for daily dr

        Iconic car. But it will work in a very small niche. Doesn’t work with the Indian mindset. Same reason the Fiat 500 failed here. Even the beautiful beetle couldn’t make a dent at 25lacs. So this will be a far cry at this price. The VM Beetle stood a better chance..but it still couldn’t make it.
