How were my posts OT?
One was a reply to someones post about the brand campaigns being aired multiple times to which I replied this:

The other one was a clarification about gear boxes and which manufacturer did what first and what they are doing now and why it matters...? Is that an OT?

oh come-on dear stop talking about Gear patterns ...

Thank you for the valuable posts!


I have a hunch that impulse might end up like mojo... :P the new website doesnt have info on the bike or the scooter!

let Ranbir kapoor launch a Bumpy ad on Railway Track for Impulse First.....

Times could be now tough for Hero (atleast in urban or even semi urban India). Hero Moto or Honda which one would you choose?

Neither...

Hero MotoCorp planning to drop Honda name from existing products this fiscal


The erstwhile Hero Honda and the country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp has stated that it will start dropping the Honda brand from its existing products this fiscal. The company, which plans to introduce up to eight new products including variants of its existing models, has already announced that it will launch a scooter under the brand 'Maestro' and off-road bike 'Impulse' under the Hero umbrella by the end of this year.
The reports quoted Hero MotoCorp India Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Anil Dua as saying "This year, we have planned to introduce seven to eight new products which includes new models and face-lift of existing models. We have already introduced about three new products and announced two, others will follow in the remaining part of the fiscal." It was reported that when asked if the company will be dropping the name of the erstwhile joint venture partner Honda from its existing product, he said, "Whatever new announcement that we make of face-lift on existing products, it will be under the Hero name."

According to reports, last month, the company had announced its new brand identity. The company had announced that it will have a new brand name and logo after the two joint venture partners of Hero Honda decided to part ways in December last year. According to an agreement signed between the two erstwhile partners, Hero can use the Honda brand till 2014. Dua was also quoted as saying that the industry has been growing around 18 percent so far, while the firm has been registering sales of 21 percent and the company hopes to maintain the same momentum. He stated "25 percent growth witnessed by the industry last fiscal is not sustainable and the projection is of about 15 percent growth this fiscal. Hero MotoCorp will be above the industry growth.’’

It was mentioned that the company expects good sales during the festive season. Although there is commodity price fluctuation, the company is not planning any price hike in the foreseeable future. Dua said the company is yet to finalise the location for its fourth and fifth plants, according to reports.

They should have named the brand as HeroMoto rather than just Hero...Heck it even sounds japanese

Guys any info on when this 'Impulse' is hitting the showrooms? I think its going to be the first 150 cc bike from Hero. Am I right?

will take 1 more month.....Impulse is only named as hero it's still got a genuine Honda Engine...

I don't know why it is so hard for the fanboys to get..Let Hero Motocorp use Honda engines till 2014,that's fine.But why make statements like "We will show the world what we are" and "Our competitors will fear us", "We are gods" etc.,etc. and call Honda "baggage" when they are STILL using their engines?Makes them look like jokers..seriously..more like "We will show the world that we still depend on Honda"
