As it is, March is traditionally a high-volume month for Motown. But smart pricers Hyundai have decided that this time, just the usual year-end rush simply won't do. After raking in mucho moolah with their festival season offer late last year, the Koreans are now rolling out a sans AC, sans Power Steering (and sans insurance) Santro Xing - for only Rs. 2.93 lakhs! Want either or both of the AC and PS? Just pick and choose - your 'custom-fitted' Xing will come for a reasonable few thousands more!
Ford too is cashing in on the year-end excitement with their 'March Masti' scheme - and that means free insurance and exchange bonuses on the Ikon, Rs. 21000 off on the Fusion and free diamond bling-bling worth Rs. 40000 with the Endeavour. All of that if you make that purchase before March 31, 2005.
really smart move by Hyundai.
But doesn't Alto start at 2.6lakhs? and on plus side Alto gives better fuel economy.
seriously guys people going for low cost cars are not looking for power they just want a vechical to commute & better fuel economy.
So though it is a good move by Hyundai I don't think they will be able make a dent in Maruti's market

Hey I am looking for a Upper C-Segment Car with good space and Higher Seating Position.
I have shortlisted Ford Fusion(high end) , Corolla(base model) and Honda City(high end).
Please tell me which one of those is the best
I saw the ad that Fusion is wider dimensionally than City and Corolla apart from being taller
But People tell me to stretch to Corolla since it is a D-Segment Car and are totally against the Fusion which is just an ordinary hatchback pitted against High End Luxury Sedans like the COROLLA.

Yeah - with road taxes here being 10ish % of the vehicle cost - makes sense to keep as many add ons out of the price as possible!
