Do you think we'll be able to sell them to the EU market? If you want to sell a vehicle in the EU, it has to adhere to certain safety, efficiency, and environmental standards. The same goes for fish, dairy products, clothing and almost every industry. They outsource the production to different countries because it is cheaper, and it will be easier to have different variants of the same product. You are a fool to believe it will pass EU standards just because the Kwid has Renault brand name. <a href="http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/five-cars-fail-safety-test-116051700433_1.html" target="_blank">http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/five-cars-fail-safety-test-116051700433_1.html</a> . Even the SRS-accompanied version has zero safety ratings. If you have already placed the order, go on. You might actually enjoy your purchase. If you are still deciding to whether go for a Japanese car or a brand new Indian car, just use your best judgement sans the look of the car. Those who say to for for a Japanese (collectively referred to any car that has a decent safety score and reliability) are not threatened by the new Indian car market. Those who know the value of their lives and trust them will buy the Japanese cars. There are some absolutely crappy Japanese vehicles and it is a risky market to buy a car from. In Europe or the US, if you buy a brand new car, you immediately lose its financial value by go 20-30% percent even if you want to sell it the very next day. The same goes for the Indian cars here in Sri Lanka more or less. Even if the Indian cars dominate in here (which is apparent if people tend to go for the looks and fuel economy), those who own a Japanese vehicle will have no hard time selling their vehicles.I bought my first vehicle for the looks (a Vios with over 80,000 in odometer). Sold it for about 90% of what I paid first. Bought a Premio secondly, had a terrible accident that condemned the car only to walk out from it with only minor bruises and wife having a small wound in her leg. You need first hand experience to value your life and how much protection your car gives you. Kwid is a budget range car, and I guarantee you, the Indians will laugh their lungs out knowing you pay 2.3m LKR to buy their 0.23M INR car. There is an Audi wing in India, so do BMV and Volvo. They make decent cars that you can buy for that kind of money in India. If you buy a Japanese vehicle, it would cost about the same for a used one, but you get loads of safety features and something you can rely on. I have lived in Japan for a few months, and the vehicles are dead cheap compared to Sri Lanka. So both Indian and Japanese cars are overpriced. When you pay 2.3M for an Indian car, you pay for car + tax + brand new quality. In the other hand for a Japanese vehicle, you pay for the car + tax + safety + reliability. A human brain weight more than 1kg. Don't waste it away. </blockquote>
