Honda Brio has no Value for commitment

I have booked Honda Brio EMT rally red on 3rd Oct, 2011 from Deccan Honda, Pimpri, Pune but still not got the delivery. As the reasons of delay were natural calamities I ignored and waited for the delivery. This month I was committed for the delivery but hav not received the car till now. Now after 4-5 months of booking I got a call from honda that I will have to choose from only 2 colours : Taffeta White and Alabaster Silver.  This is not at all expected from honda. How can they ask the customers to change their choice that to after 4-5 months. And also are forcing to choose a higher model. Just for the sake of fulfilling the backlog of waiting list why are they forcing customers. Else they should have told at starting only about only 2 choices.  Even after all the Brio plus points like looks and all the colour choice also matters for me. And now I have decided to cancel my booking as during purchase too Honda can also generate more points for compromise but now I am much frustrated to handle any more excuses.The looks, the comfortno commitment value, no customer support

Best in its segment

Great overall the experience of driving it for the first time was insane, had smooth go, I'd say best amongst its competitors..

Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel — First Look

By Ninad Ambre22 Jan 2023

The way things are being planned, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Flex-fuel (FF) is set to become India's first mass-segment flex-fuel car. It's one of the answers to the never-ending quest for alternative fuels for cars. The Wagon R FF is designed to run on any ethanol-petrol blend and will eventually help reduce tailpipe emissions. It also goes without saying it will comply with the upcoming and more stringent BS6 phase-II emission norms. The prototype exhibited at Maruti's pavilion at the 2023 Auto Expo looked exactly the same as the standard Wagon R on sale in India, save for the fluorescent badging. We believe the 'Flex-Fuel' branding on the side will be mellowed down in the production avatar. However, the bright green embellishments may be retained to display its green, environment-friendly avatar.

Brio-logy

Honda had unveiled the concept version of the Brio at the 2010 Indian Auto Expo. After about a year and a half, the company is now ready to launch the Brio in India. The Brio is Honda’s second hatchback on the offering and will be placed a segment below the Jazz. The Jazz lately got a facelift and even a price cut of about Rs 1.5lakh. So the Brio being a segment lower will have to be priced lower than the Jazz, which means it should cost around Rs 5lakhs. So, how good is it Brio? We share our initial impression of this new Honda hatchback.
