Hyundai India has gone to the High Court complaining that Renault's new car's name Sandero sounds strikingly similar to its bread and butter model Santro.
This is news and they claim that Renault is trying to build on the brand value created by the decade long seller Santro.
It is hilarious but there is one good thing about this otherwise boring news - Sandero is really coming.
No matter what they name it, Renault is finally going to sell it here.
Another B+ hatch coming our way. Let the good times roll...

infact it is called sandero world over where ever it's sold,so right, it will be called by that name in india,only hyundai's santro is india specific(in fact has been replaced by i10 any where else),so look,who's blaming who???????

hundai is going to loose the case for sure,btw SANDERO looks good and big

besides does santro and sandero look or sound same for hyundai???????

I too believe that Hyundai is stretching it toooooo far, the whole argument is baseless.
I hope this does not deter Renault, it seriously needs to make a best 2nd effort right now...

I have an opinion on this .

What Hyundai is basically pointing at is that we here in India are dumb that we will not be able to differentiate between two different cars and we will buy (with out eyes closed!!!) thinking Sandero is Santro.

How dumb can a company get by thinking we are basically stupid. Ridiculous.

Naveen

nice one naveen,i laughed my lung out,

even i was wondering if hyundai thought indian buyers are all duds to buy renault sandero thinking that it is hyundai santro.how stupid,seems lots of people at hyundai are jobless

sandero will be a huge car with an amazing ride and build for it's price,so may be hyndai is afraid

hahaha.. how true!!!

Hyundai is going to lose it. They should dump the law firm that still adviced them to go ahead with this.

hey look - striking similarity - SAN-TRO vs. SAAN-DERO

The verdict is : Renault wins. Hyundai has been successful in India, they don't have to act losers by getting into such lawsuits.
