Don’t worry people,we would rather go in for an ex-European Car Of The Year (in 2005),which is Italian and styled by Giugiaro.This car looks stunning(much better than this Japanese hatch),and we can pick up the top-end model in red.
You got it right.Am referring to the Grande Punto.
Otherwise we have the Swift,Ritz,Logan,Fabia,SX4,Dzire,Linea,Fiesta,City….so many of them.
In my opinion,5.5-7.5 lakhs for Jazz should have been much more sensible.Honda is just being overconfident and it will have to revise the price.
Remember Hyundai Elantra?It was launched as the performance sedan and after all that hype,it faced a massive price cut.

Answer few q’s of mine b4 buying Jazz.
1. Why Jazz at such a price why not any big car?
2. why 1.2l petrol version too expensive?
3. We have manyyyyyy options at 5.5 to 8 lakhs bracket.
4. It’s recession sir plz think of INDIANS.

Hi! I think i took i right decision to buy cheverolet AVEO U-VA 1.2LT at 4.67l because for a car like Jazz from honda………….rethink before investing in small in size but big at pocket car.

Possibly this will be the first instance of failure of Honda in India since they started off in 1997,unless all the City owners are fascinated by this large hatch and are considering trade-in(which is quite unlikely).With a budget of INR 8 lakhs,I would prefer the City,SX4,Fiesta and most importantly,the Linea.
Foolish pricing is what comes to mind when we discuss the price of the Jazz in India.We are not fools.
Better put the price right,Honda.

I waited for this car so long but after looking at the prise tag, now I am looking for other cars like Swift in the same segmant.
Jazz is a good car but overly priced.

I completely agree with you guys. Honda should have priced the car sensibly. At 6.98L Why shouldn’t I go to a Swift Dzire, SX4 or a Ford Fiesta?? Understand that the brand Honda richly deserves a premium but 6.98 L I feel is highway robbery

Honda,

You must be deciding today what to price the car.
I am not coming to your showroom if the price is above 5.5 L.
I am not in the minority, by the way.
We would definitely start a Net campaign to bring down your snobbish dealers’ smirks and high handed behavior, besides your prices.
Have a fitful night thinking.

I spoke to the sales rep in Apex Honda and she told that the car would be priced between 7-8 Lacs…. Thats too much… Think if Fiat Linea…. Better buy in the same price…. Its amazing car… can change the image of Fiat

If Honda cars remain to be priced at 20-30% more than others in same segment it is because the resale for used car is also 20% more – there are customers ready for that. Whether the same holds true for Jazz remains to be seen – may or may not. After all the proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the dealers of low-selling Fabia will tell you!
