@Yatharth LAUNCH DATE???????????????????????????
LAUNCH DATE ?????????????????????
What I found through Auto Expo 2014 is everybody in the industry is trying to use Indian talent for their product development and are succeeded to deliver impressively…We see Yamaha, HMSI, Bajaj, HarleyDevidson, TVS, Maruti Suzuki, GM, Mercedes, Chrysler…..We find Bajaj CS400, GM Adra, Honda CX 01, Celerio, Ertiga….Grand Cheerookee to name few. Hero on the other hand desperately trying to get some good stuff….but nothing impressed me for success or launch able. Most of them or sized down versions/ not having good proportions…or trying to make impressions. Nothing is up to mark. Hope they find way to fix it sooner than later.
Maybe soon after the advent of next financial year. Nothing sure as of now.
Any speculation on launch date and price???
