Honda Amaze

[ghpk]

It would hit DZire no doubt. But Maruti would have nothing to worry about till the time Hyundai gets a diesel engine for Santro.Also I doubt Honda would be able to meet the initial demand. No one seems to be able to handle the launch bookings. Not even Mahindra!

Santro and diesel would be a strain on eyes
Even being a happy Santro owner for over 6 years, I feel Santro is the one of Most Neglected Vehicle by Hyundai
they re-vamped every car, except this one, I feel Its too late now for hyundai to they keep pushing this car into more variants,
IMHO They should either make it more cheap to compete in entry level market aggressively or at least cut the production.

I am actually in favour of companies launching new designs with better features, better safety etc. instead of rehashing old models like Maruti keeps doing.

Well Honda would keep this Amaze for around 3 years. Maybe more. It would get 2-3 minor updates. Before we get a major one. That's how they usually do it.Maruti... Less said about them the better. If it was not for government regulations, they would still be selling cars with no seatbelts. Airbags are a luxury add-on. Woo!

I have seen some more images on team bhp. Not at all impressed with the looks. But yes the likes of dezire, Manza and etios will be affected. Unlikely to affect Verna, linea and the European vw cousins.

Its not meant to compete with Verna, Vento etc. That's for the City to do.

I wonder if Honda is going to do a Maruti and use the same damn engine in everything ranging from Brio to Amaze to Jazz to City and why not Accord and CR-V!

 

[manu1991]

Its a 1.5 litre. Would be a decent fit in all those cars except Accord and CR-V. Though they already have a 2.2 litre diesel engine for those which is very popular in Europe.

I was talking about the diesel sedan s only.

^ City obviously would be the next to get diesel to compete.

Hopefully Brio gets it too. City definitely needs it. It has been killed by Vento and other diesels in the same segment.
