Launch of new model: Suzuki to launch 1300cc car in January 2010

[chinyoti]

margalla / baleno / liana are not competitors, there the same brand being renamed again and again to be re achive the lost market,

other then that depands and varies country to county, jst like after the launch of Baleno in India Maruti Suzuki India kept in line the Esteem (margalla) which was finaly replaced by swift sedan, nd is the only country to have swift sedan in the whole of Suzuki market around the world.

this time Pak Suzuki is Planing to keep Cultus wid the launch of Swift.

While they dont understand that Baleno catered to a middle class family as a sedan. no matter how small it had a boot to carry handbags even after cng. (same case wid a margalla) but they think Pakistanis love hatch backs, bhae its because they can only afford hatch backs. if a Margalla or kia Classic type car is introduced wid brand recognition (toyota/suzuki/honda) and price of a Cultus who wud even bother for going for a cultus or Liana.

Liana is a bigger car nd due to price hike Cultus leina mushkil hogaya hai gareeb admi Liana khaak lega, people who use to get Vtis and se saloons are now buying GLis

[BornToRide]

You are right Sameer but as someone in the replies mentioned "Suzuki is best at selling whatever they started in Pak market"

so lets wait and c how they do it with SWIFT

for all those who think hatchbacks are not preference ask the core buyer of this category who are urban have smaller houses to park with petrol becoming as first choice to drive and what else fits in better than a hatchback when its cramped up traffic at karachi bazars or lahore streets.

Good or Bad...it will sell well because its Pak Suzuki. That is the way our market works.

From what i have heard regarding the price, u guys better get your baseball bats ready!

[Proverbial_Slang]

I still cannot figure out why they would have a 1300 cc Hatch?

I still cannot figure out why they would have a 1300 cc Hatch?

Simple answer, to strengthen their monopoly. By introducing a premium hatchback and by proposing complete ban on used cars imports (source:Pak Suzuki urges complete ban on used car import). After a few years instead of seeing Vitz on the road we will only see problematic suzuki swifts. They way they are going they will have 80% market share soon, especially now with santro and joy out of the market.

People who came up with the research result that most Pakistanis prefer hatchbacks must be top of line geniuses.

Common! even a layman know Pakistanis Love Large Cars, if they have the money to buy them. If Suzuki thinks hatchback 1300 cc car is going to dent Corolla's or City's market share then they must be joking.

For this car to succeed they have to keep the price far below their competition.

Suzuki guys, get you money back from the research firm that gave you this laughable conclusion.

If the execs of Napak Suzuki think that they are going to have a share in the 1300cc market with a hatchback(while the "competition" makes sedans) then they are clowns.

So true Momin.
I mean wTF they need to say we are going to compete with city and corolla.

The strategy would be much better if they come up with the idea of beating vitz and cultus market with 0.3L more engine capacity and same specs as of vitz.

SEriously, they are illeterate clowns.
