    Riding into town

    With its foray into the passenger carrier segment, Honda will take on three-wheeler giant Bajaj Auto which has a stranglehold on the market

    I doubt if this be a major mover&shaker in the 3-wheeler market.Bajaj has the marketshare
    to such an extent tht u can call it as having Monopoly.Bajaj has a very impressive record for 3-wheeler sales.Its growth rates are as good as 20% per quarter and exports figures have increased at a staggering 133% from 2002-3 to 2003-4.

        Even i feel so Bajaj as conquered the market of three wheeler,but again the three wheelers are of very old fashioned and yeah it is economical but a change in looks and sitting area and a better engine will always be welcomed it will take time but definately can take a twist.

          You are looking at it from the commuters point of view sanju whereas a company will look
          at it frm the drivers point of view.The main reasons or rather the only reasons for bajajs
          success is its after-sales support strngth and the viability of the product.
          Many minor parts of bajaj 3-wheelers are very cheap as they can be interchanged with bajaj
          scooter parts {told by many auto-drivers} and to beat bajaj in the pricing game in India,at this
          moment,seems a very uphill task,even for Honda.

                  It has to be priced correctly to give competition to Bajaj in the 3 wheeler segment... Bajaj has a stranglehold there....

                          I think Bajaj will remain the king of 3 wheelers in india as they cost less and r economic. Honda will be costly and repair will cost a fortune
