I still feel Tata has overpriced all their passenger vehicles-think about the Vista and Manza-superb cars, but selling poorly-they have competitors-well known .. within the same price range!-something they are not dealing with-would you rather buy a Maruti Dzire-at 6laks or a Manza for quite a bit more (base petroll)?-reduce prices quick TML!-not cosmetic reductions!-now if you compare the chevrolet sail sedan its even more of a difference!
The Nano-well on the road the cost is > 2laks-at which it is within striking range of the 800,eon,onmi and a host of used cars-and if the RE60 is launched it will be quite a sitting duck!-i think they should get the diesel in quick-sell at an initial unbeatable price and .. sell the base nano for 1lakh OTR-that would make people sit up and think!
-bike/ nano?

The BOLERO simply refuses to die down even after all these years of existence.
M&M should quickly come out with a more refined and more powerful variant
with the same VFM package. Seems you can't find a more rugged people-crammer
at this price anywhere in India.
The Tata Sumo is good too but it's quickly losing its popularity. Doesn't stand
a chance against Bolero as far as sales figures go.
Safari Storme is mainly for 2 type of customers: -
(1) the old safari loyalists or tata loyalists
(2) people who need to traverse rough terrain daily but don't want something
as loud as the Thar and something more refined than Bolero
Renault Duster is a legend. Turned the ship around for the French carmaker,
god bless the day they launched it!
What we want now is a completely ironed out XUV with better plastics, equipment
, fit & finish etc. and a price of around Rs. 20 lakhs with auto transmission and
it will certainly appeal to a more upmarket clientele.
A little enquiry, how many XUV500s have been sold so far in India
since its launch?

i think many people were turned off by the long waiting list put up initially and the dealers over booking the XUV.
with the waiting list now gone and the excess inventories being done with , we might see the XUV settle down to a 3 K min month on month figure.

I am just too surprised that Nano price range inspite of being almost half that of Alto is nowhere to be seen in the competition, its the low price which which is probably repelling customers ![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
maybe if they price it at par or near with Alto prices it may sell even more .... ![[lol]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Laugh.gif "Laugh [lol]")
top 4 cars says herd mentality? maybe not but please no flames!

What was Tata's promise on Nano?
A car at an Auto's price, at 1L, a new segment.
If they keep their promise it will sell.
If they increase the price and try compete with 800 and with Alto then this will be the condition.
2012 march 15000
2013 march 1500, pathetic.
It is over, let us wish tata all the best for new nano Diesel.
Hope they won't compete with BeatD with that!

Maybe Tata should start concentrating on premium hatchbacks to be sold
at international level. The Tata Megapixel concept is very good, they should
put that into production.

They never said about Auto which I reckon. btw do you know the price of an auto and can you get one with an Air conditioner and 4 wheels ?
Nano still remains better buy than 800 and Alto at price margin lesser than 50000INR.

And they do not complaint that they did not get a car with AC with 1L price.
If tata would have stick on to that price and customers then sale would have been more.
Nano do not worth to a price of 2.4L.
That is the reason of this decline in sales.
People thought of raising another 50k to buy any car near to it.
The sales figures proves it.
An AC for an 800 costs 20000k with installation.
So 1L car + AC = 120000k.

For the first time I think I agree with above here. although Nano is cheaper compared to Alto but its not as cheap as it should have been to attract the huge sales expected.
Its like comparing ball-pen(nano) for Rs 10 with fountain pen(regular car say Alto) for Rs15. I would obviously pay Rs 5 more & buy the fountain pen because its a much older time tested design & I know for sure it will very likely last much longer than the ball pen!
However If the ball-pen(Nano) is priced at Rs5 (1/3rd) then it makes it much more easier to choose it!
While Nano is an amazing piece of innovation, no doubts about that, the only failure on the part of TM if any was to guage the economics involved & human tendency to choose time tested sturdier design over newer technology which appears both frugal & fragile although it might last much longer & be an overall better choice!
Maybe if TM sold Nano at breakeven price with zero profit for sometime it might achieve some large sales which can then be sustained by profits from economies of scale!

this theory is unheard of .
There is no point selling a el cheapo commute for a lakh. Nano has come a long way ahead of it
Ofcourse it might not be ,can you ask the government to reduces the taxes. Nano cost something around 1.8lak on top end and it is quite tempting.
Intellegent people are always full of doubts,I am not sure of the above said.
People fail to calculate. they prefer buying diesal car for double premium believing that "diesal always cheaper than petrol" there is a triviality syndrome in India and that is so serious.
Nano always rides and performs better than 800 with or without Ac.
Anybody here to bet against Tata's ride quality and Ac performance of Nano.If you win I am offering you a Vada Paav.

The core reason where the nano is running out of numbers is the diesel bug which has caught people's attention.Yes many are well aware that nano diesel is in the cards and some who intend to buy the petrol nano is definitely looking out for a diesel version to be released. Also Blame Tata for showing these test mules and speculated 800cc engine where buyers think the current version is not worth going for and it is true to some extent.
Bolero is in the high lines, don't know what makes people buy this car over Quanto where latter is better in most of the aspects over Bolero, but there are serious buyers for Beloro who are bowled by its looks. Point to be noted: Bolero's are seen very less in Bangalore.

@alexddas : Have you sat in Nano. Did you experience the amount of space it offers? It is much more than Altos. And who said people who spend 1L did not need AC. Logic does not makes sense.
As promised they gave 1L car. Even while launching the original cost of manufacturing was above 1L. But just to keep their promise and commitment, they launched it at 1L bracket.. Now as inflation has gone sky high they have to increase the price inevitabely. Now if they keep same price what you would get is 4 wheels and driver seat and a steering wheel that's it.
And if they maintained the price range and give you inferior quality product, .
Not blaming you, but general human thinking tendency.

What he meant was, people buying the car in that bracket looks a car as an utility more than comfort and luxury.
@Alex, you can't blame Tata for not providing the said 1 lakh car, Blame the government for bringing in excessive taxes and rates on the manufacturers.
Still Nano is a better buy in the current price and literally there are no competitors.
