[TSIVipul]

Diesel is not only cheaper but also a non-performer too,but still it performs better than me Altis D-4D..

Yeah, wonder why Toyota got so small engine in Altis ?? Altis requires atleast 1.6L with 120 bhp.

Btw, one can add Fiat Adventure & Fiat Petra to failed cars list.

We can add Force One and Gurkha. Gurkha failed like anything because of higher price tag.

 

[cooldhaya]

Yeah Force One , i haven't seen a single One till now apart from the TD cars!

Why this always happens to me that cars I like are usually huge Flops(even movies)

Punto,Linea,Tata Aria ,Maruti A-star,chevrolet Cruz/aveo.

Isn't it too early to call the Force One failed?

All have failed due to IHM (Indian Herd Mentality). Just goes to show you are not a part of the herd. I'm surprised the A-Star slipped through the herd's net.

No buddy, Cruze cannot be termed as a flop. It is a good seller. Although Aveo is a flop and hardly sells these days.

Agree with P3T3R about herd mentality. And why only cars & movies, people have herd mentality about clothing too.....they say like this is in & something is out .

Btw, in your list above, Chevy Cruze can't be called as flop. Only A Star & Aveo can be called flop.

Anyways, Chevy is bringing in Sail to replace aveo uva.

Not a single vehicle went through my eyes in a city like Bangalore.

Yeah Force One , i haven't seen a single One till now apart from the TD cars!

Anyone here got the sales numbers on dec 2011 of Force one?

well if people can call mahindra xuv500 successful in less time then why not force one flop??

Apart from Aveo and A-Star i like all the cars in your list.

Cruze can't be called a failure considering its segment. It sells around 800 cars per month and i think it is the segment leader.

Aria recorded a measly sales figure of 244 units this December, inspite of the massive discounts... as expected & foreseen by me.

Most of the ARIAs are book in the second half of the month and due to many govt holidays they are not registered and sold yet. People want registration in new year 2012 so they were waiting for the new year to take the delivery of a new vehicle..
Lets see in Jan 2012 how many units Aria will count (this is important)...

Anyways, we will wait for the Jan '12 figures to come in. Though I am still not sure it will do any great numbers. The Aria needs a massive price revision.

@ raj_5004

Dealers already had plenty of Arias in their stock, the purpose of discounts was to clear all 2011 stocks, so though 244 fresh units were shipped you never know the exact sales.

Aria sold a measly 497 units in Jan '12 inspite of the massive discounts. So definitely price is not the only factor affecting the Aria.

Failed car... Aria? Yes.

^^ Aria - 244 units in Dec and 497 in Jan doesn't it look like a huge improvement ? From a sales perspective, it looks like the jump in figures is a good sign.
Just out of curiosity what is the figure that sets the bar for number of units sold ?

I think it should be comparative to similar segment.

compare it with Xuv,Innova,fortuner etc and one can realize.

Makes sense with terms to comparison. But the jump in sales figures looks like a good sign.
