Good car , wrong price and bad dealer attitude.

I went to the autobahn dealer in andheri to check on the Fabia and i was greeted by the receptionist, trying to shower me with details of the car, something that she had mugged up from the brochure and repeated like a parrot. I checked the car inside out and after about 10 mins the actual sales guy tottered in with an attitude and air about himself as if he was selling me a rolls royce. i asked for the price list and my jaw dropped and how... 9.5 lacs for the top end diesel on road and almost 8 lacs for the only version of the petrol... I laughed out loud... and asked if if skoda miss-printed the price , but the answer was no. this is what it was.. i was shocked. why would i want to pay 8 lacs for a hatch back. This is India ... yes the car is great to look at but skodas are expensive to maintain with service and spares, and it is competing with the likes of the Honda city in a segment a notch higher. I chked for a test drive an he told me it would take a while and that he would call me after a week, he went on to add that he has 70 bookings and a 2 month waiting period rather sarcastically. After one last look i left the show room. Well here is my conclusion Skoda... remember fiat and their Palio. Great car, bad marketing, bad publicity and finally dead product.. you guys may head that way if you dont look closely. You ve obviously done ur market research and the rest of the stuff, but car buying in india is an emotional deal and works by word of mouth and user reviews . Lets wait for 6 to 8 months and see, may be i ll chk this review 8 months from now and may be i ll be wrong. But for now i dont think the car makes sense at all. what is the deal.... ! its power stakes are barely there, with luke warm engine specs... it may be worth if the top end is close to 7.5 lacs on road.. forget the sun roof.. we dont need it, have it as a customization accessory. Com on guys this is still a hatch back with a regular engine, and not a Golf GTi... and Skoda you're not Mercedes !Looks, Quality fit and finish, space and practicalityPrice, Price, Price. its a hatch god damn it... not a sedan, and why a sun roof
