Hatchbacks are now touching 14 Lakhs.
Pseudo SUVs are crossing the 20 Lakh mark.
Skoda Octavia, a 20 lakh car, four years ago, now costs 35 Lakhs.
Pretty soon, you have to be Tony Stark, if you have to buy a good car in India..

I was hearing the top management of Skoda saying we are as amazing as a C class Mercedes or a 3 series BMW, that's why we are priced so high..
They believe a Merc and a BMW buyer will go for a Skoda.
Nice Kool aid they are drinking at VAG India. And they want 5% market share..

At Octavia's price point.. The Tucson now looks a steal. Bigger car.. Diesel engine options.. Similar power, torque and an equally competent Gearbox.
Backed by very good Hyundai service.
And it has a 9 lakh price difference over the Elantra, it's direct competitor.

Granted Octavia is a better car.
On 100 it will score a 95.
But the elantra will probably score an 88.
It's 85% of an Octavia at 60% of its price. In a segment that is almost dead.
But I guess the bean counters at Skoda are living in a different India.
