2006 city idsi was for 880 k and now a used one goes for 650-750
2006 liana rxi was for 770 k and now a used one goes for 550-650
loosing a 1-2 lacks so it basically same market however city will sell quick where as liana is a slow item however having more features.
Also the shape of city is more balanced except for the front nose dive. I must admit that idsi city owners are most pleased with their feul average.
Heres a little chart i would like to share with you all. Free to edit.....

oh boy its difficult to not have both. This is coming from a middle class consumer with a need for balance in economy, maintenance, features, experience and resale... no other brand or car can match these rival.... i must how ever admit their Japanese assembled variants ie the Honda fit/aria and Suzuki Liana/Aero are far better products then the local ones...
