hmmm. will try to check. however 17th is too odd a date. anyways...

are they only launching or are they also going to perform some media related announcements is an area where i was giving some thoughts...

Yea the Launch will be done in Media Presence and theres going to be some Media activity in Gujarat followed by a National campaign later on.

interesting...

MRs press and TV media publicity is very low.. Ford introduced ikool and chevy the fully loaded Avio... before the festive season to capture the market.. But MR is moving very slowly ... they should be aggressive and ahead of their competitors...Mahindra is pushing xylo and scorpio publicity but not touched the MR . In fact mahindra have organized a auto quiz for college students internet based....(going on presently..http://www.mahindraaq.com/index.asp) for promoting their product linking to the youthfulness .. MR also should come out with such promos....

my edge purple has come.......but they have messed with my delivery.....the sales executive said i will get it on 22nd but i needed it only on 24th ( family & rashee) . i did payments as per their guiding....on 19th ....now he says that one cheque i gave was crossed so there will be a delay of another 4-6 days from 24th.....but i had crossed it as they said only......

Another case of dealers spoiling the show i think

i am unhappy with them because
1] i & my wife are doctors in trivandrum and as per their say we had arranged for leave on 24 & 25 ....to go to kochi..now that is wasted and ihave to make altered arrangements ......my parents are leaving to bangalore on 25th......we had booked a pooja in guruvayoor on 24th evening......now all the family and religious sentiments are shattered by their carelessnes
2] in the 3 brochures they had given me clearly states 1.4glx edge has wooden centr fascia....but this one has painted silver.....
my doctor friends are in a mind to buy one for themselves as i have boldly gone 4 it.....but how can i recommend it to them if such is the service????

Exactly the problem!
The Problem is not with the Car! Its with the dealer Network and their Callous approach. I suggest you write a mail to Mr Nalin Mehta with the same contents. Lets see what he says!

@r.rajad:
1. crossed cheque
as a good practice i would say one must give only crossed account payee cheque for such amounts. now if crossed cheque makes the delivery late then it is logical as they will have to wait for the cheque to clear and money to be credited in their bank account. this is out of reach of mahindra or renault. it is the banking system and everywherre in the world it is the same, for a cheque to clear it normally takes around 3 working days maximum depending on whether it is outstaion cheque etc. normally what one must do is keep checking his bank account online and see if the money is being debited from his account (the cheque is being cleared). as soon as this happens one must print this transaction and take it to the dealer. delivery should happen in hours after this. this is what i did. again it is not only the crossed cheque getting cleared. one has to go to RTO and get the chasis number registered over there. I supposse for this one has to take the car to the RTO for physical inspection.

2. dealers spoiling show.
i agree to this point. but then i am sure dealers would be having a good reason behind all this. i am of view that both mahindra company and mahindra company dealers are not getting a good commission for logan sale happening as they might get for a scorpio sale happening. at end of the day they are all bussiness men. if they do not see substantial profit why would they be interested in promoting the stuff.

3. silver center console.
if you wanted wooden and received silver, you ought not to accept the delivery and not to sign any delivery papers thereon. you can definitely make a request and i do not think they will ignore it.

thanks for the advice mir....
i think the problem was because of the inexperienced salesman........he shouldnot have committed on the date before assuring it.....it was on the last minute after i made all the arrangements that he said it.......anyway i hav let go the matter and eagerly waiting for the car....and the good news is that 1 or 2 of my friends might just take the logan following me......... .......soon

hi pal
welcome to the gang.. that makes two of us.. i am taking delivery of a purple edge 1.4 glx the day after tomorrow.. got my vehicle registered this morning..
i haven t come across a single purple logan in kochi till date..

all the best..

hey why didnt you go for the logan play i missed it by a whisker

i wasnt quite impressed with logan play...for one, its available only in black and white..the red wheels are a no no for me..

i personally feel, the edge is a better choice.. i saw the logan play at mumbai last week and was glad i didnt settle for it.

only cosmetic additions with spoilers and body graphics..the red on white looks cheesy..
