Picanto is older generation, ripped of all features and priced above an established brand. That does not make marketing sense.
If they can bring in sportage FWD for 4.6 million with all the goodies (higher tax bracket, latest shape, all the features) on a local production low volume car, why are they trying not to be competitive in their bread earner. Sheer stupidity.
Remember they have the concessions in duties and taxes. On the other hand D!CK heads at FAW are giving the most economical hatchback, 1300cc feature rich car but it is a manual and they are missing on it bi time.
Still FAW can offer V2 ar 1.5 million then why cant Picanto price it sanely at 1.8, they over priced the car by 10% at least and that has put off a lot of potential buyers as now it is competing not only with an established brand but if you read above i have secifically advised the person to look for a Passo or Vitz. There is no point in competing with like of vitz with this picanto
