Cashless Carnival

Maruti SX4 has been selling really well at over 3000 cars a month, and it certainly deserves to. It is a brilliant value for money car that made guys at Honda nervous too, who immediately went to on to add the ABS and Airbags in the City.

I am happy with the way the Indian car market is shaping up. Every segment has so many offerings and there is so much competition, the consumer is finally winning.

What is also pleasantly surprising is the fact that our folks have stopped fussing over petty things. The SX4 has only one reverse light on the left tail light cluster and it seems to have bothered no one. 8 years ago, when Ford launched the Ikon with the same feature [or bug], it was criticized upon so heavily that Ford had to add the second one immediately to avoid any more bickering.

Times surely have changed and so have people. For the good.
