If Kite is launched in October,it will certainly will be a game changer for Tata.I know many people are interested in Kite.If it is priced aggressively,it can garner atleast 6000+ sales/month

Exclusive Scoop from one of the highest level in TML

1. Hexa is launching this year itself, it is confirmed.
2. Kite 5 is launching after January 2016.
3. Nexon will take time. (Not sure what that meant)
4. TML is trying to push for AMT, it understands the market demand.
5. There has been a shuffle in top management, every product is closely monitored by the CEO with weekly meetings and follow ups.
6. They are back on track about launching 2 vehicles every year.

I was told by the birdie to go for Tiago if I was in a hurry to purchase a car, If I wasn't in hurry then he asked me to wait till January next year for the Kite 5.

So tata have listened to part of my suggestion to postpone the kite5 launch since zest and tiago are holding the fort. However, they have ignored my suggestion to launch nexon at the earliest. Hexa being launched in october when it should have been launched as of yesterday. It will not have any lax period as mahindra muv would be breathing down the hexas neck. Again I feel tata might have messed the hexa launch.

I think Tata is waiting for the new dealerships to get done as there are lot of Dealerships got cancelled lately/in last 4 months and the new ones are under construction. In my hometown the old one got closed and new one is getting done and thus the reason I have seen only three Tiagos there in the market/Road. So this might be one of the reasons behind it.

And another one is that Tata is letting the initial hike of crysta innova cool down so that they will get the proper attention. Same goes with Kite5/Nexon as Maruti will launch Ignis tis diwali in the same price bracket and they already have fresh kid brezza. Its good to launch a product at the right time as Tata brand image has recently got a new birth with Tiago and still not up to the mark with Maruti and Hyundai.

This time Tata got everything correct in Hexa so I think Its good to wait till September and Nexon will follow. What your thoughts

Why are they closing it? Revamping the existing showrooms?

Most of them got cancelled and new one are getting appointed as per my knowledge.

Reasons- Varies for cancelled dealerships :
Lack of Brand value
Low income/Losses
Low Sales
Bad service records
Bad sales experince
Complaints
Malpractices by dealer

I agree on all the points you have said. Bascially though hexa is a capable vehicle with great design and interior and engine. Only flip side to this vehicle is Tata brand. Hence people are saying it is no competition to Toyota crysta.

However, I still feel that this vehicle will turn quite a few head and will find itself in parking lot of quite a few people. However, my only worry is what will happen when mahindra launch thier MUV which essentially is based on xylo and thus hoping it to be priced significantly lower than hexa. so that is where the problem may arise for hexa.

No matter how mind blowing Tata positions its product, general public aren't even going to bother looking it up. I have faced the problem first hand. 9 out 10 guys first reaction is, why the hell Tata? Even if I give reasons they don't listen. The only way that I managed to shut them up is by taking them directly to checkout Tiago. Once they saw Tiago in flesh, they shut up. I have taken 3 friends to Tiago showroom, and all those 3 didn't even consider Tiago as even a car. But after the Test drive, 1 of the guy bought the car. The other one who was hell bent on buying Swift, booked Tiago and will be taking delivery next month.

Until Tata figures out a way to make people see their product in flesh, they just won't sell a lot of them.

It is not doubt a looker and thats the only USP in the segment to get success in front of Crysta and XUV.

as you mentioned about Mahindra's MUV- it is based on Monocoque construction and I doubt that its a Xylo based MUV. It will be launched next year not this year as per my understanding so Hexa will get enough time to prove itself and remember its again a stop gap arrangement till the time new SUV's (Q-501 & 5XX) are getting developed like Bolt & Kite twins and am sure Hexa will get the platform set for upcoming SUV's for success.

Thats why its more important for Hexa to get the right attention and not get lost in the hype of Crysta and other cars.

Tata Kite5 prototype again caught testing by a Tiago owner in Coimbatore.
I guess they are testing the new 120bhp Revotron for the Tiago Sport.

I dont think so, that its the testing of 120bhp version, I guess its the Kite sedan reliability test. why would they use Kite5 body for Tiago Sport? Makes no sense to me at least

Well chance could be sport sedan because jayem engineering which is partnering with tata to produce the sport version are based out of same place.(if i mistake not)
So probably it could be a sport version of sedan which may be launched post getting a favourable response from the market. Said that it is bit too early to test that configuration. Kite 5 is almost 6 months from market launch. So sport sedan should be atleast 18 months from now (looking at Tata new product launch speed) But you would never know. Speculations unlimited.
