In India, honda is having 6th and 7th gen being sold together.
By going above comments, with increased competition, Honda might be planning to have 5th ( with certain features enhandement) and 7th Gen exclusive top of line . This would give them coverage for different segments .
They might have thought of 6th gen, but with multiple new entrants offering better features and looks, change of strategy seems more appropriate.
Let's see till March 2021.
