Very old topic in discussions...
Actually, someone is right..if it was a Honda Liana or Toyota Liana, things would have been very different.
If you agree with this, then removing the Honda or Toyota from the equation should not make any difference as far as the car is concerned. Only thing that would differ is the perception and brand name...which is, no doubt, a very big factor.
To quote someone else...when buying a car in Pakistan, people depend more on their ears than eyes and brains.
Never owned a Suzuki in my life before, always considered it lower than other brands....but was able to see through all this when making my purchase. Don't regret it now after one year...very much satisfied.
