Tata & Toyota Interchanging Business Models

 

Exterior Its a big disappointment here. It looks like Logan with minor changes here & there with only 1 Wiper. Is Toyota giving 5th wheel (or just another Cost Cut to keep prices low).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The dimensions say it all. LINEA, CITY, VENTO are much more spacious but they are also 1 step above. In peers Logan & MANZA offer much more space.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Too Early to comment, let a few cars come actually on road.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Here too Bigger wheeled cars like Manza, Logan have clear edge. Not much expected in Speed, it should be same like peers Manza, D'Zire etc.

 

Final Words A final verdict can be given only once few cars actually come on road. In SUVs Fortunner though very pricy & Innova spacious, both are dwarfed by ARIA- A perfect blend of Power, Space & loads of features. Similarly, Manza (with standard Double Head Lamps & Rear Fog Lamps) presently seems to be offering better VFM than Etios. Are Tata & Toyota swapping business models..??

 

Areas of improvement Toyota Dealership is hell experience. They remind of Maruti dealers before Hyundai came. Egoistic, Monopolistic attitude. Stying of Etios not the best.
