2021 Honda City GM6 Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[roboxx]

Kafi hustle bustle ho gai hai image k anay k baad. Pehlay hi awam paglon ki tarah booking kra rahi thi, ab is image pe imaan latay huay mazeed bhagain gay booking k liye. Aani wohi purani car hai 2014 model.
Don't raise your expectations. Dukh hota hai phir.

@fazalwahab11375 So from a legal standpoint, can this move of Honda be called deceptive marketing and can they be taken to court for it? Would love to see them slapped with a hefty fine for this.

[emzee92]

Yes. Remember Hyundai Nishat too was questioned by CCP for deceptive marketing earlier.

[muhammadjazlan11]

Well like you said, they did receive backlash. Wouldn't seem like a sensible decision to make. And anyways, customers can cancel their bookings, no one will stop them. I have booked an Aspire CVT. IF the car is not up to standards, I WILL cancel my booking and get a refund. It makes no sense to repeat the mistakes again

[muhammadjazlan11]

They would have a massive fine for false advertisement.

[an_average_car_user]

What are you trying to prove here? First you claimed that they have not done misleading advertisements in the past, now you are acknowledging that they did and received backlash, and claiming that they won't do it again. It is clear that they are doing it again.

Why defend Honda so fiercly?

[muhammadjazlan11]

Go to the About section of HACPL website. Check the information there. Or talk to a Honda employee

Honda Japan pays the compensation for each and every model/replacement scheme. All cars are approved by Honda Japan. They most likely charge a massive royalty fee for the brand name to Atlas.

Honda international is there to make profit. The gm3 city was severely outdated because it launched in 2009. With bs "facelifts" and small changes, it makes complete sense for the car to be extremely outdated in terms of safety. Unfortunately, safety commissions in other countries can prevent sales of cars that don't meet a certain safety standard. the Pakistani regulatory bodies do not care about that

[muhammadjazlan11]

I am not trying to prove anything.

"Backlash" here is referring to the fact that many people cancelled their bookings, which, at the end, does indeed make a difference to Honda, as they lost money.

As far as the matter for this gen is concerned, one can only say that this is false advertisement after we have seen the car, which is a sleazy move by Honda, like I said earlier. People will book this car due to the hefty own amounts charged directly after launch.

I am not defending Honda here. I am merely calling out wild accusations without any solid proof, which seems to be the norm here.

[muhammadjazlan11]

Funny enough, it was Pakwheels that gave weight to that rumor, even though you personally started a thread about the GM6 since 2019.

Also, it is far worse to Honda's image to spread the rumor for a newer gen and then launch the old one. Seems to me that these rumors would have been spread by competitors to increase negative publicity, which is exactly what happened. People would wait for the City, see its the 6th gen and then what? Buy it? If they really wanted, they could literally go and book any other car, with a much shorter delivery time (literally applies to Yaris). Such a "rumor" would benefit anybody but Honda. It doesn't make sense to me.

[fazalwahab11375]

I dont represent PAKWHEEL. I have over 3000 threads. I started threads on KIA , Hyundai and other models as well. I started thread on GM6 because GM6 was imported. I have not shared teasers of GM6, it is HONDA ATLAS.

[muhammadjazlan11]

yes that is what I am saying. Mr Suneel Munj was the first one to talk about the possibility of the 7th gen even though your Honda City blog clearly stated that Honda was going to launch the GM6, 6th gen city

[wasiqshahab94]

I am merely calling out wild accusations without any solid proof

I think Honda Atlas recycling a picture of AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CAR to advertise their older product is quite solid proof that their post shows either laziness or worse, malice, on their part.

Everything doesn't need to be in black and white to be considered true, humans are quite good at deducing conclusions based on their observations.

GM6 with a HRV like interior...

Bro, stop...

I just got text. Booked mine on 28th May and delivery on 31st Oct. it’s 1.2 cvt so maybe that’s why early delivery.

[UAHMAD]

Loyal customers of Atlas right now are much more concerned about getting their deliveries. On a lighter side, they shall accept a 6th generation shape with older interior. They'll never take the company to Court for false /deceptive marketing.

The image on official website is highlighting airbags only, which Atlas couldn't offer in City for the last 20 years. It's a dream come true for Atlas fans. Members who are saying that Atlas follows Honda Japan policies in every way, please offer your comments on Honda Japan's approach towards not equipping their cars with airbags.

[muhammadjazlan11]

Haha I was just pointing out a possibility. Picture is about the airbags, not the interior. Even if this is not the interior, no one can bring up Honda on false advertisement charges as this post does not even advertise the interior. It does not come under deceptive marketing.

Even IF people book this car and it does not come up to their expectation, they can either get a refund or just sell the car when it launches, as it has a very high demand. The cries of people complaining don't make sense when the car hasn't even been launched.

Also, all dealerships have made it crystal clear to customers who have booked the car that it is the 6th gen. The generation of the car is not even under debate, it is official that it will be the 6th gen. Not revealing features is problematic, call them out for that. The fact of the matter is that Honda has a loyal customer base. People who are not even buying the car, nor plan to, are crying for something that is not even remotely affecting them.

[fazalwahab11375]

Showing teaser of 7th generation interior is simply a false advertising and deceptive.

RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS.. every one knows it does not but the slogan went in lawsuit for false advertising.

Red Bull Will Pay $10 To Customers Disappointed The Drink Didn’t Actually Give Them 'Wings'

Good luck for your 6th generation Honda City , which you already booked . We would love to see the pictures and detailed review once you receive it in 8 months time.

[devils-advocate]

Actually it does fall under False Advertising - even according to it's legal definition.

[itshamzayo]

Aspire might've gotten more investor interest. Are you sure the 1.2 people you know are not investors. I am pretty sure the 1.5 base model isn't high demand investor model either so seems kinda weird.

[itshamzayo]

You seem to be highly overestimating Atlas. All the leaked pics before align with 6th gen interior. Pretty easy to see that the marketing morons could not differentiate between 6th and 7th gen when searching for relevant airbag pics. Sometimes the simplest answers are right. Idk how people here are making weird conspiracy theories about a car coming from Atlas of all companies. It's just gonna be a localized 6th gen, nothing more than that.

And yes, when a company like Kia comes to pak with an overpriced mediocre hatchback and an overpriced ugly crossover, and takes sales lead from honda atlas after decades of their local monopoly, it is very safe to say HACPL are brainless idiots. Also atlas literally ruined the best generation of civic by their absolutely horrific cost cutting measures. So yeah, it is safe to not expect much from them.
