Japanese carmaker tries not to marque atrocious decisions successful India situation (impossible).

Jokes aside, arsenic breathtaking arsenic India being the accumulation hub for a caller planetary level sounds, the information that Honda has decided to starve India of caller launches barring the Amaze until 2027 seems similar a precise weird determination IMO.

The information that determination aren?t adjacent plans to bring successful immoderate stopgap products (a la X-Trail) is beauteous concerning, though I volition admit that incompetent stopgaps (again, a la X-Trail / Superb relaunch) are a discarded of resources, hence I?m gladsome that Honda astatine slightest hasn?t decided to brace immoderate bully planetary merchandise with a harebrained merchandise strategy that volition people it D.O.A.

I?d emotion to beryllium proven a fool successful the end, but I?m truly not definite astir this strategy from Honda.
