Way too overpriced.
They are making this Swift 100% in India, where some parts of this model of Swift were actually designed in India.
It cost around 5 Lakh or so Brand new in India. Keeping in mind the Indian price ratio of 1:1.3, this should not be more than 7 Lakh Brand New.
Even if you convert 11 Lakh to US dollars, that comes to around $19,000. Is that guy crazy or what. You can get a Brand New Suzuki XL-7 (Updated shape of Suzuki Grand Vitara) SUV cheaper than that, in International Market.
This price is just nuts.
And Suzuki is in NO WAY, better than Toyota Vitz. Toyota is Toyota, the whole world recognizes and respects Toyota, the best Japanese Export, and Honda is Second Best, as it is proven by numbers and popularity.
But SUZUKI (Japan Made) is no way near Toyota or Honda (assembled anywhere), in terms of Quality or popularity. Even Nissan and Mitsubishi have bigger Market in USA than Suzuki. Suzuki never gotten any loyalty in USA. US alone is 40% of World new Car Market. So, the trends in USA pretty much determine which car brand is a buy and which one is a failure, and Suzuki is at the bottom of anyone's choice here. Toyota always tops the list, whenever choosing an Import, here in US.
It would have been OK, if this USED suzuki swift was around 6 Lakh...its a Suzuki afterall, no matter if its manufactured in Japan. They try to sell Japan Made Suzukis here in USA, but they never got any response, only Suzuki Sidekick, little Jeep (Pothohar like), was the only suzuki, that people liked a bit, in the 1980s, thats it. No other suzuki is known here.
