Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review

If some 1 dosent agree with you and your view about the storme let it be so .
Stick to what you know , feel about storme and debate keeping the threads intention in mind .
Are you not sure about what your impressions are about storme that you want iron rocks validation ? .
I have read your views about storme and atleast I respect them because you have driven the vehicle and posted your impressions . Now some may like it some may not so let it be what difference does it make if some 1 feel that at the age of 20 you know less ?

IRs validation is needed for my personal satisfaction(so that I can do it better next time), none else.

Point is not what others think, point is that 'One cannot take a single stand if he calls a spade a spade'.
Relativity says that one thing can be good as compared to one but can be bad at the same time as compared to another. Now if one praise a Storme as compared to one car but then posts the same point as its weakness as compared to an another car or in terms of segment benchmarking then it is done, done for the sake of a healthy discussion.

TAKING A SINGLE STAND IS ALWAYS A SYMPTOM OF FANBOYISM, LIKE OR HATE YOU CAN'T DEBATE(Thanks to Xovy for giving me this line) THE CAR IS NOT ALONE IN THE MARKET AND HENCE ONE CAN BE INTACT AT HIS POINT BUT CAN'T DENY THE FACTS WHERE THE CAR LOOSES TO OTHERS.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review

wow now theory of relativity comes in storme thread. So cool what's wrong here? Stick to what you feel that's what iam suggesting you . And if someone is a fanboy let him be so does it make any difference to you or the perception you have about storme ?readers of the thread will know whose insights to follow or not.

Storme vs other cars we have dedicated thread we can use our bandwidth there . As member *smk* suggested lets keep our view limited to storme here seems readers would like that more.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review

According to IR Storme in 5th gear can do 100kmph at ~2200 rpm,I think this makes it a wonderful highway cruiser.Not only can one drive whole day at this speed,since the engine is also so relaxed it should yield better fuel efficiency as well.

We are all in for healthy discussion.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review

@Vipul largely agree with your observations, while subjective aspects and wishlist will differ from people to people.
When you compare a vehicle with a vehicle one segment up largely you will find craving for some things more and some disappointments, when you compare within peer or lower you will find all the positives in the world - just balance yourself between the 2 and your budget/requirements and you will find your perfect car.

Thank goodness we all have different likes and choices, the roads would be too boring if it was all the same vehicle all the time!

Its a fact, Storme is beast suited as a relaxed cruiser and 100 kph at such lazy revs prove the same. BTW, the XUV thing does the same at about 2000 only.

@Vipul largely agree with your observations,

Thanks a lot buddy..I am happy now

But if the vehicle priced lesser offers more then?
If the vehicle priced slightly higher offer a lot more then?
Eh, I have already found perfect cars for me and is happy with them!!

+100, just think if there were just trucks everywhere!!

Off course there will be plenty of such cases, but what's being offered will vary from person to person - just depends on which end of the spectrum you are coming up - we all have different rationale/needs.

But at end of the day its the sales number(relative to the competition) that is the final verdict for me - i cant and wont dispute it, nature balances things and if the sales is good there has to be something right about the product - i don't believe in the word "herd mentality" - you and me will have different views and so will all automotive lovers(but there is a much bigger/ broader and wider world outside who are not part of any forums), but ultimately the general truth does lie in the sales number. If its good, unique and VFM it will sell.

Re: Tata Safari Storme Road Test Review

Oh, boy! Heated debate, eh? Next week the December sales figure will be out and then we will come to know if the car has captured the imagination of the buying public or not.

First important point is that the 'sales figure ' doesn't reflect goodness or badness of a car eg, Prado, S class.


Storme was not launched (phased launch)all over India till now, No full fledge advts. were done in media. Many showrooms didn't had storme to display , for TD ,most of the days of December. So how the december sales figure will tell us , how much the car has captured imagination of buying public?

In general,december sales figure reflects only how much the graph went up due to yearend discounts and which automaker lured the custemer better way.

The december sales figures will tell us that sale of pastries, cakes, and color bottles has gone at the highest level as compared to rest of the year.That doesn't mean these items were better quality as compared to those sold in the rest of the year.

Who has stopped Tata to do so, from launching all over india or No full fledge advts? If they want to sell a product well they will have to think smart at least as good as the competition. What is the use of saying Storme is the best product ever but sells only 500 per month?

Is there any vehicle in the segment of Prado/S-Class which sells 5 times more than them? If yes I would certainly say that vehicle is far better than the ones you mentioned.

+100, it will be completely premature to look at the sales numbers of Storm till it is launched across India and also it needs some time for a buyer to decide upon after its launch in a particular area. sales numbers reflects too many things and influenced by more things, hence I do not wish to teach sales management here in this thread at this moment

That's what I say. Sales is what market speaks and at the end it is the market which decides the fate of the product.

First important point is to create some momentum with a new product. For a volume player numbers are of utmost importance.

Is it anybody else's fault that Tata marketing strategy absolutely sucks? The Dec figure matters because it will give us a chance to compare with last month's figures to see-as you have noted below- if the graph is going North or South.
