Profits backed by selling the same stale city model :|
yup, but with more competition coming in this year and next, suzuki, toyota and honda will have to up their game. I’d rather have a kia picanto than a honda city
substandard cars, delayed model facelifts and missing airbags and yet charges the same as DUBai and USA. shame on Honda and Gov for looting their own citizens
Record profits and yet they still raised vehicle prices under the guise of rupee devaluation as a new year gift to their customers. No innovation, ever decreasing quality, ever increasing prices, late deliveries, cartel like behavior… It’s a proper Japanese Mafia.
Shameless liars.
