Hyundai launched the Santro, which was similar spec.ed car as compared to Cultus, in same price range. People preferred Suzuki, which was already established brand. Why trust a new brand for a similar product? Cultus vs Santro was very much debatable, specs wise.
FAW launched V2, with better engine, more updated tech., better featured car, as compared to Cultus, in similar price range. Cultus vs V2, there is just no comparison. People who will trust a new brand this time, will get a much better package. The Chinese puts the Japanese brand to shame. Features, updated technology, engine power, everything is much better. The only thing which is same/comparable, is the price tag. 10.35 vs 10.49. V2 is worth taking the risk, both for the customers and Alhaj group.
People take risk of buying imported/old cars just because they are latest, powerful and feature rich. Finding spare parts and competent technicians is problem, but people still take risks, why? because they get the latest JDM in similar price.
