Buying a new car has become a painful experience here, just like in the West!. Too many choices, options, competiton in financing(one is barraged with calls from lending insititutions to take their offer) and dealing with dealers too!. Still, better than none and as i gripe i also appreciate the competition. Life is tough.

So, Mahindra does know what they're doing in the SA market. 
@AutoCrat
I give it to Ford for creating a buzz in the economy segment which is all drab and grey, but my choice is a black dash. As for Proton, well, you're close!.lol. However, in states like TN and Kerala where there are strong links with Malaysia, the marque will find buyers and that's what they're banking on. Proton will be based out of Chennai.
@UsmanAnsari
@AutoCrat basically laid it all out for ye. SAIC will have a smoother sail as their cars will sport the bowtie.
