woah! seriously?? Sri lankas gonna be packed with tatas and marutis. Ive seen quite a few trends on the road. They seem pretty nice, and the options to an indian car is quite outstanding. I guess ppl r still negotiating sri lankan made stuff

hey!

didnt know the G.Vitara came from india...

ya, i guess the tax-removal should apply for those as well.. but i guess it depends on what the MANUFACTURER says.... if they say its japanese then we'll b paying taxes..

thinking about it now.. ya, i think its gonna hit MICRO in the gut real hard.... i guess its more or less some sort of trade agreement that affects moe than just cars.... so govmnt may not be able to make such a big fuss about it (even thought they should).. afterall it IS a local industry that needs govment backing,...

Soon we'll be seeing Maruti cars and Tata bus gettogethers at the Nawam mawatha car park. Soon after that the three-wheeler to citizen ratio will be about 3:1, (approx 60million threewheelers in sl) and in a few years time there will be more indian motorbikes on Sri Lankan roads than there are Japanese cars in the rest of the world Damn I love the Indian motor market.

i think only for Indian companies, TATA, BAJAJ, HINDUSTAN MOTORS (AMBASSADOR)

@ Dilesh

yes grand vitaras come from india aswell.. you can check them out from their agents.. hmm.. i guess its around borella.. Brand New Grand Vitara 5.5 Million

Suzuki Swift New face 1.8 Million full option 2.1 all brand new..

if you want to buy the japanese Swift the recondition is around 1.8 Million

but indiand assembled swifts are poor in finish.. i checked them out.. Grand Vitaras look nice

so 5.5 Million - Tax = ?? atleast 2 million?? hee

btw is this happens i mean if they take off the tax sure its gonna boost sales of indian manufacturers

Machan, The Grand Vitara which A*W has at Borella for 5.5Mil is the new shape one If I'm not mistaken, it's from Japan. Indian Grand Vitara still comes in the old shape..

This is the New shape from Japan, which A*W has for 5.5Mil (BTW I've been told as 5.8Mil)

Guys micro needs to come out with more hardy cars not some plastic crap like what they put out, that piece of junk costs around 600,000 what a price to pay, why maruti and most of other Indian cars were a success because they addressed the needs of the Indian middle class population, the government needs to realize this and so does Micro to manufacture quality cars ( with a earthly shape not some space ship )

Micro will still take a long time to get a significant market base, leave aside the fiberglass body, simply because of the "made in Sri Lanka" tab. It's like what Japanese products used to be during colonial times, when everything was "made in England". Nowadays of course if its not made in Japan, you wouldn't buy it

Of course if prices just keep going up, people will have no choice but to invest in Micros

Unlike SL government, The Indian Govt helped its domestic motoring industry by resticting imports atleast at the early stages.With the limited choice Indians went for their own brands and that was the key to their success.Now the Indian Govt is opening up new markets for their car industry.

Whatever the quality of their cars we have to appreciate these Indians attitude and at the same time shame at what the SL govt has done to help its new born local car industy. Im sure opening up the local market for massive indian competition is definitely not the best help the SL Govt can give to prop up our own car industry

OK. So when are they gonna remove the tax, have they already done it?, any specific dates!!!

[Watchman]

is A*W da suzuki agent?????????? i thought it was browns? i know for a fact they were struggling with the land rover agency didnt no they are having problems with suzuki as well.

ya A*W took over some months back..... in fact went to them to get some axle boots for the G.Vitara (98 model) and they were just settling in with the new stocks....

things are bit on the expensive side there.... i guess thats expected of any agent... the boot was 4500+VAT... so the set would have cost over 10,000 bucks.... but then we found out that it is the IDENTICAL boot used int eh Toyota corolla AE110... and those in the open market were 750 each (sieken) .. .. fit like a glove.....

ok this was a bit OT. sorry admins bros... but i still find it amusibng

[zeem35]

for 5.5 Million Grand Vitara Looks good btw its brand new too..
