Why is Mahindra offering such steep discounts? Has the plug on the JV been pulled?

Yes...I read somewhere on this forum that Renault has pulled out.

it may be this reason also & may be because the logan due to its looks has not picked up well in the indian market & sales are not satisfactory so for increasing sales & to attract customers they may have put this scheme.

As I understand, Logan is out for the reasons stated by Rohit - and, therefore, heavy discounts. As such, initially it looked quite promising but it somehow could never establish a market for itself.

This might be a stock clearance excercise, as they might be waiting to launch the facelifted version.

yes,it's a stock clearance sale,since the facelifetd,much improved logan is to hit the indian market shortly,joint venture with nissan only has been pulled off by renault not with that off mahindra,to my knowledge and the joint venture is on course to launch the hatch back version of the car SANDERO in the last quarter of this year

Mahindra has a reasonably wide network. But the Logan has to be the ugliest car on the roads unless it is next to a 118NE

Looks are deceptive and are of personal choice. I dont think both cars deserves to be called the ugliest cars.

Face-lifted version, in my opinion, may not to good to the market it has lost - should have established earlier.

Logan is not a very smart looking car, I would say.  It is otherwise a very comfortable & spacious car, fuel efficient & has one of the best suspensions.
