Not any more!! It was true..once upon a time. Now urban Indian also looks at performance,after sales service,cost of spares,styling,driving comfort and additional feature. Mileage is one of the criteria now...not THE Criteria anymore.

IT IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE AD IS AIMED AT PEOPLE READ INDIANS WHO HAVE MILEAGE AS A PARAMETER BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE A CAR.

When we buy any motor vehicle, we first ask about the mileage and then other benifits of the vehicle.In this era, purchase any vehicle is no problem, only wories maintanance expenses.

I don't think so it is advisable to join some other course in a good college, you wanted to something else and you are doing something else at the moment, why do you want to compromise on your dreams

yes Being from middle class i accept the AD .... as per perception of the middle class family ... they are not only concern about comfort ... they look for the car with best mileage with comfort.. If you observe the model and price range of Maruti..is to trap maximum Indian middle class market.. cause they knew very much that worlds largest middle class market is here in India...

yaa sure and everyone should care about mileage.here fuel price is very high and oil reserves are very less .....so with more mileage we can save fuel and little bit control the pollution.

I accept the Maruti AD. This AD is based on our prevailing market condition & demand. whoever, who want to own a CAR they are very much concerned about the service, maintenance, features, spares, efficiency & most importent is CONSUMPTION (Milage), value for money etc,. This is demand of Average Indian, those want to own a Car. We are developing we don't want to waste the money we want utilise it effectivily it should fulfill all our needs.

I am partly in agreement with you. Yes milage is one of the most important factor but haw about the performance and recent additions that has been made are also factors while buying a car.

Though in India the buyer buys the car like say tamato since it is already predetermined by the whole family and the buyer. So I accept the add in percentage.

i don't accept the ad.. i dont think nowdays people consider  mileage only as an important option while purchasing a car.  they are more concious about the performance, reliability, style, driving comfort, safty as wel as features of the car.

I do not support the Ad.

Today many sedans and foreign car makers are coming to India, with great technology and luxury.
AFAIK,  many people are following Car and bike shows in many channels, to know about the features and other technical aspects.  Today people are buying cars with lots of research.


Maruti  Ad,  is a kind of insult for us (people of India),  saying we don't like technology, but mileage.

Sheetal, your views are not any anymore true; For example in bikes, how many Pulsar, APache and Karizma are running when comparing to the other bikes which give more mileage. People are running behind Splendor, CT100 and Centra long back; say 5 years back.

I do not accept the ad, b'coz when u look at the Ad they say "Manufacturing cars for the nation who care only about mileage" Aren't we using the sophisticated cars, The Ad creators must come out and see how many Nissan, Audi Mercedes and Lamborghini are running in the Indian streets.
