@ALL, although there are many threads related to suzuki swift, i wanted to make one more so that the information could be provided to all:
Firstly, Allow me to clear this miss-conception which is there among masses that the spares provided by Pak Suzuki such as imported tyres,rims etc etc would be changed in the future...As it is,it would not be changed...The cars brought earlier do have better quality than the older ones and we learned it from automobile history of Pakistan...
I hereby DONOT intend to defend Pak-suzuki in anyway but what i do believe is that fact and figures should not be kept hidden..
Talking to the senior managers of the company i can with confidence say that although cars do drop quality with time, but this would not be in case of the new suzuki swift...The reason pointed out was that Pak suzuki wants to move towards making improved brand image which will only happen if they provide better quality cars than before...
According to the senior managers this is the reason they brought APV, JIMNEY AND XL-7 into the market (lets not debate about the pricing issue here cuz its a diff thing)...PPl who own theze cars are very much satisfied...
Swift was brought just to continue the work on brand improvement....whether it sells or not, whether its liked or not, its not the main concern here, wht company wnts to achieve is ppl now shud atleast take one step in to trust their work... i know WE still have many differences...
But ppl who have bought swift know tht they havent made a mistake...
and once this is achieved from the masses then only the roads for bigger suzuki cars be opened in pakistan such as KIZASHI, GRAND-VITARA etc etc becuz these r expensive vehicles and you cant sell them unless ppl trust the work...
I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF POSTS MADE BY MEMBERS OF PAKWHEELS REGARDING PRIVATE BOOKING OF SUZUKI AND THEN RELATING IT TO THE STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY OF CREATING A FALSE PRICE...
People its my humble request to all that to plz refrain from these statments as it generates some non-factual Myths which in-turn causes harm to many...
Ppl who do want an answer to the above mentioned practice is:
Paksuzuki sells more than 100 000 vehicles per year and according to company statistics, it has more than 58 percent share in the market...this is achieved through ppl who book the vehicles personally and through investors who book cars and then sell it on premium(We all know about it)..Pak suzuki have recently been a victim of tax collecting authorities such as CBR AND FBR.... The reason is that investors used to book large number of cars through various NTN certificates...NTN belonged to diff ppl who gave them to the investor becuz either they were their relatives or either it was some other reason...now we all know that premiums in pakistan stuck the max limit in 2005/2006 going upto 120 000 in cars like mehran...An investor selling 20 cars a month earning millions got away from paying tax as there was no prove tht the car was bought and sold by him as he used NTN of others who were either poor enough to pay tax or rich enough to escape it...
So CBR restricted suzuki from giving private bookings.... and bookings made by company wud make them liable to pay tax as transactions wud be visible in the accounts...
I dont want to comment about the competition of swift in our market but just wanted to clear certain rumors...
I hope tht Pak suzuki maintains its new mission throughout and we hopefully see a better future of Automobiles tommorow...
