For the month of june,hyundai has achieved a phenomenal 34% increase in domestic sales[overall sales including exports is 45.3%].As in my earlier post once more I say Maruti faces a bigger problem from hyundai than from honda or toyota.
The c-segment sales are the ones which standout the most.Its two main rivals maruti and honda need to take a leaf out of hyundai's books and bring in diesel variants of their cars[sx4,honda city].
As far as the i-10 goes maruti surely missed a trick or two and right now all rivals look far too outdated in front of the futuristic i-10.God help them when the diesel variant is out by the end of the year.As far as the i-10 goes, hyundai very smartly went the honda way and went in for a luxurious interior[read beige with fake wood panels] with a futuristic exterior design a sureshot way of success in the Indian market[Ask honda how it managed to sell so many honda city's inspite of its price].Just don't know why it takes rivals so much time to realise this.
Just like Suzuki,Hyundai too may become more of an Indian company than a korean one.
