But Renault never agreed to these alterations, claiming that the sedan was based on a global platform and it made no sense to make changes for just one market (India).Poor Renault dont know anything about our market ….guys M&M has long been asking for changes in the Logan such as a shorter length and increased localisation.

FIAT, too, lost the race and much of the goodwill that it had in the Indian market by bringing faded models here. It's only now that they are trying to woo the Indian consumer with latest models. But the damage has been done. Why are these European automakers so slow to respond to market challenges?

I wouldnt buy it in the first place due to many major flaws including the power windows switch placement and Flat seats. Hope their sales improve. Would love to see the megane in India.

This would result in a lower excise levy of eight per cent, against the present 20 per cent, and make the car more affordable.
