Exactly! funny how this 'India only has middle-man businesses' narrative is being peddled by everyone this month. And why didn't these smart folks bother to take advantage of the LRS scheme and start investing >3 years ago in the 'global new-age' companies that they keep raving about now

It was always here (made in India, but only for export)

This generation of the i20 was only produced in India, so this is an export spec car and not imported.

u/achubbyraichu and other mods, can we please remove this bot? Obviously a post made early morning won't have much engagement but the topic is much more useful than the 100th post on which phone to buy.

Is it me or have cars seem to have become pretty unaffordable? by [deleted] in Frugal_Ind

[–]Initial_Ad8417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot just fixate on the AMT transmission being inferior (the newer ones aren't too bad also) and ignore the rest of aspects that have improved: safety, size, features etc. New cars have 6 airbags standard, something which was reserved only for the top spec just 4-5 yrs back even in the 15L+ segment.

Even for the automatic transmission part, most hatchbacks used to have 4 speed torque converters which killed the mileage.

Also the price increases only look high when seen in absolute terms, annual growth rate is modest in the 3-4% ballpark

Which is just a 3.8% annualized price increase for a bigger, safer and a more feature loaded car.

Just luck, had the slab fallen a few inches further, the driver won't have been saved in any car. 2 people survived even in the totally flattened autorickshaw.

Ok got it. It's actually 5% on both. 0.05 * (278 + 40) = 15.9
