I have seen few rabbit around but very rare. What’s easy to spot on CA freeway is Toyota Prius driving on the carpool lane at 55 mph in 65 mph zone and holding bunch of cars behind them.

@salmanf1

I hear you. I never liked the Prius and i never will like any of them hybrids.

Another bestseller from the Maruti-Suzuki stable, the WagonR

[salmanf1]

how is suzuki zen doing????

[nickatnite]

Not too well. Nice car, but hasn't caught on with the public. Sells adequately, though. Cheap too. Maxxes out at 3.95lac.

[nickatnite]

I like this Verna. Quite popular with the car buying masses. I did post a pic earlier in this thread.

[salmanf1]

if i am not wrong zen was design especially for Indian market. Any reason behind the failure?

[nickatnite]

@salmanf1

Too many choices available i guess. Even a "Sport" version didn't cut it.

Maruti-Suzuki Zen Estilo ''Sport"

[nickatnite]

a bestseller in the small van category, the Maruti-Suzuki Omni...you guys are familiar with this model....

[nickatnite]

Indian people are so lucky to have so many options in rides. . .

[salmanf1]

@deadalive123
the reason Indian people have so many option bcoz they are successful not bcoz they are lucky. we could enjoy the same success by listen to advice of our countries founding fathers "We are now all Pakistanis--not Baluchis, Pathans, Sindhis, Bengalis, Punjabis and so on--and as Pakistanis we must feet behave and act, and we should be proud to be known as Pakistanis and nothing else." -Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Very well said Salman.... Being a Pakistani gives everyone a right to BASH Pakistan and its goods on a drop of a hat.

Love/like Pakistan and be proud to be a Pakistani.
There is no substitute for hard work

[nickatnite]

I think i screwed up on the title of this thread!..shouldn't it be "east" instead of "west"?...anyways, it's the cars that matter....i haven't had time to gather pics for the upper segments, but i do have one more car that is a best seller in the middle segment and that is the Maruti-Suzuki Versa...a minivan for 4.5lacs average...can't beat this!.the price range is from 3.41lac to 5.21lac!...

Maruti-Suzuki Versa

[nickatnite]

one more preview of a popular car in the executive luxury segment...

VW(India) Skoda Laura

...lots more cars and SUV's coming up later..

[nickatnite]

Indians are buying this car to full capacity...now you know why the Corolla sells at only 1200 cars a month..there are more choices..since it's assembled locally prices are within reach of the marginally upwardly mobile too...
