Honda Brio could be their small car for the Indian market

This would be Honda's answer to Maruti Suzuki Swift in India.

In simple terms, this is the car that most people believed Jazz would be.

So this would now be priced on par with the SX4. After their grand price mess up with Jazz, I doubt they have learnt their lessons.

well i would rather say that it was the media which hyped up jazz's launch. internationally it is expensive than the sedan version. so it was never going to be as cheap. and of course. it is not a small car. it is more of a small SUV. this car is aimed at the segment consisting of Swift. pricing is expected to be around 5-5.5 lakhs. this is a real small hatchback.

The design looks nice, at-least better than i10.

The design is pretty good. If Honda price it intelligently, I dont see any reason why it wont do good in Indian market.

It should do well , as long as localization doesn't entail quality compromise . There is definitely a market for premium hatchbacks here , considering that the i20 manages to sell about 7500 units a month . Jazz is a pretty decent car but a more powerful engine (1.6 l) like the polo , fabia should've been offered , plus an automatic option maybe . Things people in that segment might look for.

launching jazz was a mistake for honda in india. the pricing forced them to discontinue the cheaper variants of city. now the city is very expensive. jazz is of course too awfully priced. and this model is also likely to be on the higher side. i am not sure how many folks go for the new honda city considering the pricing starts at around 9 lakh. you can get a pretty decent diesel for a much lower price from another company. of course, i made the mistake of going for fiat linea diesel

The NHC still does sell a good lot, considering its positioning in the market today. The Jazz is definitely a mistake. They definitely need to learn a few things from Toyota on pricing the lower models. The Etios, for all it's worth, has been excellently priced

The Jazz sold more units than linea in November . And Honda City outsold Chevrolet Aveo , Hyundai Verna and Maruti SX4 combined .
November 2010 - Indian car sales figures - Team-BHP

Jazz outselling Linea can only mean one thing - Linea isn't selling either
