Review Q&A toyota innova australia

Why are Chinese Indonesian so different than any other Chinese in the world?

The history may provide the answer. At first, we are no different than any other overseas Chinese around the world. Many of us settled in foreign lands during Grand Admiral Zheng He's voyage in early 15th century. As stubborn and “centre-of-the-world” minded the Chinese could be, such views are probably rare amongst sailors. These enterprising souls are different from the rest of their brethrens. Just like the sea-faring wanderer Padang people is different from the more laid back Malay people from the same island. Or is it perhaps because people who have spent too many times on open seas will eventually miss any form of dry lands, so they settle on anything they found along their itinerary. These forms the early basis of Chinese settlers overseas. Rarely we found refugees or escapees venturing outside the Central Kingdom. But many years later, the Europeans and other colonial powers “opened” China and sort of “exports” its diligent and hard working workforce to be used in their colonies elsewhere. The Dutch for instance, imported a lot of workers from Formosa / Taiwan and its nearby mainland shoreline of Fujian to Indonesia to be used as farm workers and other more “advanced” tasks like book keeping, foreman, or stevedores. My ancestors are most probably stevedores. The US imported a lot of laborers from Guangdong and other southern province to help it complete its Western railway network. Along the way, the Chinese become sort of “middle victim”. They are clearly favoured by the colonials over the native for various reasons. But they are never equal as well. The colonials often use jealousy and sow hatred from the natives, and offer some kind of “protection” to keep the Chinese in check. But most often times, they didn't care. Incidents like ,1740 Batavia massacre, are never taught in formal Indonesian schools, easily glossed over other colonial atrocities towards the native Indonesians. In short, the Chinese is clearly hated by the natives, considered expendable by the Dutch and other colonials who just keeps importing new ones from the mainland. However, they also enjoyed more privilege than the natives as well. Some native Indonesians like those from the Eastern ones sometimes receive this privilege too, maybe either because they are less resistant and willing to convert to Christianity. This narrative are always hidden, our history books always makes it as if the whole Indonesia resisted vigorously throughout the colonial era. Well, maybe true during the VOC rule, but once the corrupt Enterprise was disbanded, and East Indies was taken over by the Kingdom, suddenly we never hear about those national heroes whose photos often show kris, swords, scimitars, schytes, or other ancient weapons like that. We enter a brief period where the Dutch suddenly gets kinder. No longer they pretend to uphold the virtues of bare capitalism, “free trade” and treating our kings and princes as “equal partners” and threaten their domain with armed measures when the deal went sour. I would simply call such colonialist style “capitalism thuggery”, usually perpetrated by the Dutch (VOC) and the Brits (EIC). Once these “companies" were gone, the evil sleazy European profiteers suddenly become legit ruler. They allow Indonesians to get education, they spent money building infrastructures here like roads, railways, trams, social care institution, a proper army that answers to the European king instead of corporate political power holders. They even appointed natives to official positions. The history book calls it “returning the favour” politics, because, even despite its apparent benevolence, the Dutch also implemented brutal forced cultivation policy that caused widespread famine and deaths of many Indonesians. Up to this point, the local Chinese Indonesian were “guests”, and they were not any different from the rest of overseas Chinese. But when prominent Indonesian intellectual class formed up, get educated met fellow colonial victims from all over Pax Nederlandica, from South America, Africa, and other places in Asia, suddenly, that seemingly justifiable ancient racism slowly eroded away. The Chinese, Indians, Arabs are just like us, they could be our Ally in driving the Europeans out! You'll begin to see Chinese faces in Indonesian struggle for independence, which were never recognised until recently. Enterprising Chinese merchants who owns printing business, often printed Indonesian-nationalist themed propaganda and articles. Weekly newspaper like Sin Po helped spread Indonesian anthem “Indonesia Raya”. A lot of Chinese people blend in with the locals, intermarrying, and become “Peranakan” (bastard). Long story short, some Europeans are symphatetic to this idea, but officially, they still wanted to maintain control over us. Our national heroes during this period began to transform. No longer they pose with blades and sticks. The Europeans probably laughed at people who bring knives to gun battle. But, they now dress up in formal European or local Javanese royalty attires. They may not show sharp blades, but their eyes show the gaze of a sharp minds. These are the new Indonesian intellectuals, with caliber on par if not better than their colonial Masters, the likes of Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, and geniuses that made average European no longer think that their colonial people are savages anymore. Tyrants and despotic rulers feared these kind of people, because they brought democratic Western government down, they make ruling parties lose face in parliament, they make Kings receive new restrictions, they stir the press back in Europe, write scathing critical essays in languages understood by the Europeans. To cater to these growing Indonesian class, many Chinese Indonesians start various business to serve their needs, from printing press, restaurants and kopitiams (cafeteria) where they could hang out and discuss the future of Indonesia, and not the least, Chinese smugglers, who smuggled contrabands like forbidden books and long range radios that can catch non-colonial government-issued radio signal. Sometimes they also smuggled guns for Indonesian freedom fighters. Fast forward to World War 2, during the Japanese occupation, things get muddled. The Imperial Japanese forces hunted Chinese everywhere, from China itself, all the way to Southeast Asia. All while acting as “liberator” of Asia. Initially, the welcome is rapturous. Our founding fathers, Soekarno, had he not become our first prrlesident, would have gone in history as Japanese collaborator. But Japan being a clueless new colonial master, the Japanese occupiers soon are facing difficulties due to their ignorance. Too many “Peranakan” folks makes their systematic anti-Chinese policy very difficult to implement, because if you indict Peranakan, or let's say kidnap their daughter for sex slave in comfort battalion, either the native or the Chinese gets angry. They are also unnecessarily cruel, or perhaps indiscriminate when applying their Romusha work ethic upon Indonesians. Our history book simply put this in every Indonesian student's mind about Japanese occupation: 3.5 years of much bigger cruelty than 350 years of occupation by the Dutch. The conscription, the forced labour, the sex slaves, and to put the nail in the coffin: they tried to hijack Islam, and ask Muslims to pray towards the direction of Tokyo instead of Mecca. Japanese pride, hubris, incompetence, and ignorance simply made them squander all the support they initially get from native Indonesians. More than ever, the natives and their Chinese neighbours never felt any greater suffering. In turn, it also influenced many Japanese occupation troops to defect to our side and become our national heroes too. One of their grandchildren is my close friend. However, ,things started to turn differently, when Indonesia got its independence, and “The Mainland" fell to the Communists and become People's Republic of China. At first, the commies seemed to be less of a threat than the Allied forces trying to reoccupy Indonesia. But after we are done with the foreigners, probably still high with adrenaline, conflicts start to shift into internal direction. Indonesia is facing tough choices to include territories that were previously not under its control. President Soekarno, backed by his Communist friends, the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), as well as his GANEFO country friends that are mostly socialists or commies, drummed up military campaigns to take over West Papua and Northern Borneo. West Papua was expensive military campaign, going against the well armed Dutch and their Aircraft Carrier HNLMS Karel Doorman and its fleet. The history book omits significant contribution from the Soviet. After all, we get this ship from them to face the Dutch fleet: Sverdlov-class cruiser - Wikipedia Wary of Indonesia's closeness with the Communists, the USA and its CIA armed descended upon the conflict. At first, they try to appease Indonesia by simply sponsoring us to get our claim ratified and legitimised to the chagrin of the Europeans. President JFK tried to distance us from relying too much to the Soviets and their blocks to realise our ambition. Papua conflict - Wikipedia Not long after that, we confronted the Brits over Malaysia. This time, the Americans probably had it. Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation - Wikipedia I mean, these CIA intervention pretty much sums up how Indonesia start its whole new chapter in defining their anti-Chinese sentiment. CIA activities in Indonesia - Wikipedia JFK files reveal CIA considered assassinating Indonesian president Sukarno What the United States Did in Indonesia I mean, you still gotta admire the Americans. Despite how abhorrent their acts are, they openly admitted it, and continues to release and declassify files regarding their doings in Indonesia, starting from 2011 up to late 2017s. It details how the CIA used Indonesia's propensity for religion and piousness to combat communism. Elsewhere around the world, the biggest enemy of communism is capitalism. Even the Soviets themselves swore to destroy capitalism. But not Indonesia. These guys think their religion is at the forefront of anti-communist struggle. Those godless communist maniacs will render us faithless and godless, eroded our moral values and (In the official Christian education texts) “reduce us from ,homo sapiens ,to just ,homo econonmicus,”,. The biggest supporters of Indonesian Communists is probably China, because after Papua, Americans seemed to have succeeded in planting that discord. That's even more terrible news for USA. Despite what they did for us in Papua, our demands for North Borneo were mostly answered by the commies. Indonesian communists, allying themselves with Malaysian communists supported our fight against the British Commonwealth forces. This fight is again, sponsored by China, The Soviet, and The Philippines. Then sometime in 1965, this happened: 30 September Movement - Wikipedia For long every Indonesians educated under Soeharto regime, including those who were taught by people like me, only gets this version, pretty much summarised by this propaganda movie: Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI - Wikipedia It was a compulsory watch every year for every student, with blood and Gore, the full violence and torture scene. I was 8 when they told me to watch this as part of PSPB subject material (National Struggle History Education), which was replaced by just “history” after 1994. What was originally an internal military coup to “protect”, the President Soekarno from CIA, was turned into Communist coup story. It is very easy to draw parallels with what the stupid commies did elsewhere, thus it is not difficult to sell such alternative facts to all of us for almost 50 years. The propaganda movies and textbooks simply told us that it was the militia wing of the commies, or PKI's armed wing, which has infiltrated Indonesian military. Nevertheless, it was actually carried out by Cakrabirawa regiment, kind of not-so-secret service, the military presidential guard, fearing for Soekarno's safety. TL,DR the commies who ripped off Lieutenant Colonel Untung who led the coup were idiots, and thus they lost. Ties of the Indonesian Communist Party to Chinese were very easy to explain: 30 September is just 1 day before Chinese national day. They were really planning for it. And in the aftermath, series of anti-Communist policies begin to spread and often turns into anti-Chinese acts. My father's Chinese language school in Surabaya were closed down. Chinese language is now forbidden and can never be taught at school, until sometime in 2002. Indonesian Communist Party was declared forbidden organisation, and its members, including their offsprings, descendants, relatives are placed under heavy scrutiny. Those who were close to the leadership tanks were exiled and denied citizenship. To top it off, this: Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66 - Wikipedia I must say, that I am quite proud to be Indonesian, knowing that they readily admits this atrocities, and that they do indeed carried out the killings. We even made a movie about it, referenced it in some of our famous films like ,Gie ,(2005). Other Asian or African nations might not be as gentlemen enough to admit shameful past like this to save their faces. Being on the side of Americans, despite being annoying at times, also give you the perks of knowing what really happened back then, uncensored, unredacted, laid bare, transparent. The US embassy released their records dating back to 1962 that admits CIA involvement during that tumoltuous era. To be a Chinese descent person in Indonesia, you must be wondering. Why don't anyone protest against those baseless accusations? Well, some did try: Soe Hok Gie - Wikipedia Pramoedya Ananta Toer - Wikipedia Well, if you do, you will be labeled Communist symphatisers. Remember that they use angry mob to carry out the killings, so no one could exactly record or point out the blame? Rwandans could easily point finger at the Belgians for sowing discord amongst Tutsis and Hutus, regardless the facts. Hey, at least they settled peacefully upon that. The same cannot be said for Indonesia. Who should be blamed for Indonesia's anti-Chinese sentiments? Especially for those like 1998 riot? For long, they settled on the fact that the Chinese Indonesian people are guests, despite being born here. So, they ought to yield to the native Indonesians, the rightful settler of the land. You know, kind of what Malaysia has been practicing. And it was all okay, because USA turned blind eye on these human rights violations. Australia let Indonesia invade East Timor in 1975 U.S. approved E. Timor invasion: documents You know, communists are far greater threat than what the CIA calls “friendly tyrants” installed by them in all over the world, from South America to Middle East, from Africa to Asia. I am sometimes wondering, who the hell are going to symphatise with these silly Americans claiming to be the victims of Russian poll-rigging that gets them Donald Trump? I mean, isn't karma a bitch? Lately, when the narrative about bringing Freeport-McMorran's Papuan ,Grasberg mine, back to Indonesia by asking the US to allow Indonesia to have majority shares in it, I began to hear “PKI is coming back” all over again, especially among Indonesia's religious fanatics communities. It is not too difficult to swing anti-PKI propaganda towards anti-Chinese. Being Chinese Indonesian: the angry mobs have gone, but … I mean let's just drop the real thing here: https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79T00472A001500040053-4.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjt3ICZrdnfAhVHpYsKHfQkDggQFjAGegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw25scV_u-1pM5cqyG1UvyOm They really believed the return of the pinkos Siapa pihak di balik isu kebangkitan PKI? I really couldn't blame the CIA for exploiting the fools. I mean, what could be more effective than stirring the fanatics? The Indonesian capitalists are simply too expensive and too nationalistic to actually act and disturb the stability. Chinese Indonesian simply faced this unique situation that is not faced by any other Chinese elsewhere on the planet. What is amusing is how pretty much laid-back and chill they are about their “precarious” situation. I mean, a lot of “overproud Indonesians” in the internet are Chinese. A lot of them couldn't even speak Mandarin. They still held flag-raising ceremonies solemnly. Yeah, but the Malaysians are racist dude! Well, yet, the Chinese there allowed it to happen, despite their significant numbers. Maybe because those Malaysian Chinese folks can become Datok nobles, take ministerial positions, and join the parliament. Those are some things Indonesian Chinese could not do until President Abdurrachman Wahid took power since 2001. The Americans make them as Mayor, Minister, and General (,John Fugh ,-not even born in the US), The Brits make them “Lords”, The Aussies put them as Mayor and Minister, and these people still cry discrimination, because they put the only Chinese actor as a dog in a Chinese drama, then the microagressions, the bamboo ceiling, and so on. This is not simple “go back to China” ala typical white people brand of racism. They know we cannot return to China, because many of us ironically “run away” from the Communists and their red guards there. Many of us don't speak their language, nor share their current culture. In fact, most of my native Indonesian friends embraced Chinese goods and culture more than most of my Chinese Indonesian friends. They know more F4 songs and Taiwanese TV stars than me. And who the hell buys Geely or Cherry cars? Dong Feng pickups? Motorcycles called “Jialing”? A Cherry Tiggo SUV parked next to my car one day, stepping out from it was a bearded old man wearing Islamic garb. As I walked towards the entrance, I noticed a Chinese guy joking and laughing loudly with his friends exiting his tiny Daihatsu Ayla. The first guy to own Chinese car in my work place? My Javanese boss, he bought a Wuling MPV. Not even a single Indonesian Chinese guy there drive Chinese cars. I just got my first Chinese personal stuff last December, this Xiaomi A2 phone I am currently using, meanwhile my hijabi friend is already having her 3rd Xiaomi phone last October. When native Indonesian governor ruled Jakarta, he bought a lot of Chinese buses you never heard, brands like Zhongtong bus, who the hell want to use them anyway? Chinese Indonesian bus operators never even bought Chinese buses. When the Indonesian Chinese caretaker took over, he bought assorted Scania, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo busses, but not a single new Chinese brand bus were seen after that. Then the Indonesian government also buys Xi'an MA-60 plane for their regional airline, Merpati. WTF? Batavia Air, Lion Air, Sriwijaya Air, these Chinese Indonesian airline owners never even touched Chinese-made planes despite how cheap they are. There were also talks about buying Chinese-made weapons during President SBY era, the military tried to use Chinese Indonesian businessmen connection to get good deal. My cousin simply tell them to forget it, and better buy Russian. They did, because they listened. We actually not very fond of Chinese mainland stuffs. Some of us do, but like my father, when challenged, “you say China made stuff is good, powerful, strong, better, and so on. Will you drop your money for a Chinese car, now?” I asked him back in 2009. He bought a locally made Toyota Innova instead. The locally made spare parts with Japanese quality control actually fits. It is also super cheap, easy to maintain, and whenever things brodown, anyone can fix it with relative ease. Chinese cars are cheap, true. It appeals to many Indonesians who may not be as deep pocketed. But if I were them, I would have bought its equivalent from the more established brands. After sales service for a car can be a pain and headache that is often overlooked. Let alone about their imported spare parts, which is often not readily available at any time you desperately need your car to be fixed. Most of us simply couldn't be bothered with our affinity towards “Chinese” things other than food and Kung Fu stories (Wuxia). For all I care, whenever we play badminton, China is our great rival, not “our team”. Chinese Indonesian players play against them, not for them. When me and my friend were in Australia to earn our Master degree, we met a lot of mainland Chinese students. Simply saying, “they are not us”, heck they are not even Singaporean, Malaysian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Thai, let alone Australian Chinese. People expect us Chinese Indonesian to be incompetent spoiled brats, because their image about the heir of wealthy parents must be like that, as the American pop media fed them. They expect us to be lazy because some of us drive BMWs and fanciest Honda Accords, while they took trains and buses. Yet, they were surprised when discovering that we changed our own oil and tyres, because a mechanic in Australia will broke your wallet. Some of them envies how “Western" and exotic our official names are. Other overseas Chinese may put their names as Julia, Devin, Vincent, Max, Olivia, Vanilla, Rose, Peony, Jasmine, Flora, Frank, in addition to their family name, assorted Zhangs, Lins, Wangs, Lis, Yus, Wus, Lius, and so on. But most often times, those are not their real name. During formal or ceremonial events, when their name must be called, the Aussies must pronounce their real name, “Wang Qionglin” (usually “anglicized” as Jolin Wang). Thankfully, Aussies always try their best to pronounce foreign names properly. My “Chinese" friends have assorted Javanese, Arab, Indian, Western, Latin, Hebrew, Batak names that produced some raised eyebrows from the almost global audience. “David Williamsyah”, “Indra Suprapto”, “Jessica Muliawan”, “Nur Dian Wihardini”, “Theodorus Sutomo”, “Maria Theresa Sumarjaya", “Sulaiman Chandra”, “Wisnu Adi Kencana”, “Adi Dharma Suryanto”, “Fransiskus Xaverius Yusuf Wiguna”, “Simon Peter Gideon", “Suryadi Parengkuan” basically, you can't just ching-chong our names. I think it sounds more genuinely unique and less pretentious too. That whole PKI debacle somehow led to this unique situation, where some mainland Chinese even asked some of us, “are you really Chinese?” Yes and no. Yes, because Indonesians never really stopped to remind us about that. No, because you have to even ask.

Will the Toyota Hilux launch in India?

Toyota Hilux pickup truck is a very popular vehicle for those who love off-roading, but in India it is still an alien term to the domestic customers. But as it seems, the Japanese automaker is preparing for the launch of the lifestyle pickup truck in the country. Recently, a Toyota Hilux was spied on the Delhi roads. Despite being badly hit by the diesel ban, the second largest auto manufacturer of the world has launched some attractive products in the country in recent past. Last year, it introduced Toyota Innova Crysta and the all-new Fortuner SUV. Also, it launched new Etios Liva and Platinum Etios. Now, the company is looking to grab bigger share in the Indian auto market with more exciting model like Hilux. 2016-toyota-hilux-india Interestingly, the Toyota Hilux is one of the long serving pickup trucks in the world, as it has been in business since 1968. Till now, more than 16 million units of the vehicle have been sold across the globe. The new Toyota Fortuner SUV shares the same platform of the Hilux. Upon its launch here, this Japanese pickup truck is expected to get tough competition from the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross. In late 2015, Toyota patented the Hilux in India. The pickup truck is already sold in Nepal, where it is available with a 2.8-litre GD turbodiesel engine. The same mill is also on offer with the Innova Crysta and Toyota Fortuner in our country. Mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the engine churns out 175 hp of peak power and 420 Nm of peak torque. toyota-hilux-cabin-space The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Adventure is priced at Rs. 13.30 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) in Indian market. Now it is to be seen, how Toyota keeps the pricing of the Hilux, but don’t expect it to come priced below Rs. 30 lakh. As the demands for premium cars are increasing, people are showing more and more interest towards spacious SUVs and crossovers. Therefore, Toyota has every reason to be interested in launching a lifestyle pickup truck here Toyota Hilux Pick Up Truck is the most important platform that Toyota has worldwide. Pick up truck is famous in countries like Australia and America. Toyota Hilux Pick Up Truck which has been patended in India has the front end and dual cabin which resembles to the Fortuner as always which has been seen for years now. India is also turned out to be a quite a important market for Toyota and the use of the Toyota Hilux Pick Up Truck platform. It spawned the Fortuner and it is the number one selling 30 lakh SUV in the market, something which started 20 lakhs when it launched in India and with every facelifts, the price has reached 30 lakhs with mostly cosmetic and very few mechanical changes. All that is set to change as Fortuner will be localized this time and will also have way better quality than before. Toyota Hilux Pick Up Truck patented also means that some day it can come to India as well. It’s chief rival Isuzu is already here and this company famous for making pick up trucks and diesel engine says the trend is catching up for pick up trucks. May be with the 2017 Fortuner, we could get the pick up truck variant somewhere in the future as well. Launch of the 2017 Toyota Fortuner will make sure their market share remains dominant. However, with the launch of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and upcoming Ford Endevaour means this step of Fortuner coming to India a little late could harm the sales. Mitsubishi will also be coming in the year 2017 and its Indian-Korean rival SsangYong Mahindra Rexton could come by that time as well. It’s got as intense as hatchback in 30 lakh SUV segment,

How do you spend your monthly salary?

I am the CEO of my own company- note that none of the money I earned was family heirlooms- it was made from scratch. I am about forty-two now. I am not disclosing my earnings (since its a sole proprietorship, I don’t take a salary. After IT, I withdraw small amounts to deal with expenses). Earlier, I lived in an apartment with my wife but now (over the past two years), I bought a villa in my own housing project (I own a conglomerate of businesses) in one of the most affluent areas of this metro city (The house set me back Rs. 47190000 ($ 675000). I have let out the apartment now for rent. While I can afford a luxury car (in fact, I drove an Audi A3 until two years back), I drive a Hyundai Verna primarily because it is much more fuel efficient. But I make it a point to change cars every five years so that I can make the most out of the resale value. I make my investments through my company only so that I can claim tax benefits and can also pledge the same to get overdrafts and loans. This is primarily in non-convertible debentures of leading companies and mutual funds. I also have a life insurance policy for which I have paid a one-time large premium. My son studies in a elite private boarding school whose fees is between Rs. 7 and Rs. 14 lakhs per annum ($10,000–20,000) which I willingly pay- its the best exposure he can get, something I wanted but never got. He too was never reluctant to go- in fact he says its his best time. He plays amazing football and I am sure he’ll go on to get into world leagues someday. I pay a housekeeping service to vaccum and maintain the house about Rs. 15,000 ($220) a month. This includes cooking lunch for my parents and taking care of them while me and my wife are at work. I understand that this becomes our duty but both of us love our jobs so much. If I am in town (which is probably 60% of the time), I check-in with them in the afternoon. (It’s no trouble- my headquarters is barely 200 meters from my house). Maintenance to the housing society is about Rs. 4,000 ($55) a month. This includes security and facility management. Groceries further are Rs. 10,000 ($ 138) a month. I have zero electricity expenses because my entire house is solar-powered. Car’s Insurance and Mediclaim each is about Rs. 30,000 ($ 414) every year. I vacation twice a year- in 2018 for example, we visited Kutch and Australia- a family of 3 costed us Rs. 63,000 ($900) and Rs. 2,70,000 ($3850) respectively. We are soon travelling to Karnataka- Hampi, Coorg and Mysore. I am saving Goa and Ladakh for my son to do when he is 18 :P! Property Tax is about Rs. 60,000 ($828). We donate a great deal to charities and the army. I usually try to do this in the company’s account so that we can claim tax benefits. We don’t spend much on clothing, eating outside or entertainment- just the bare essentials- we don’t target Hilton or Sheraton when we eat out, midscale restaurants are more like our usual spot. That would budget out to about Rs. 80,000 ($ 1150) a year. Fuel would be again Rs. 4,000 ($ 55) a month since I don’t drive much. My wife’s car (a BMW 5 Series) with a driver is part of her compensation as an executive of a company. I run recreation centres so both of our lifestyle needs are taken care of there. Internet and Telephone charges is about Rs. 3,000 ($ 42) per month for all my phones and internet in the house. We have family healthcare check-ups, glasses and dental taken care of in a budget of about Rs. 30,000 a year which is decent for a family of five. ($ 430). I neither have a personal assistant nor a driver (although I should admit I have a few drivers and Toyota Innovas to bus clients around for another business of mine and I sometimes tender work to them when they are less occupied) since I like to maintain control over my receptions. In fact, I still sign all the cheques for my company to ensure no transaction leaves my eye. True that this does hold up decision making but I have a very efficient COO who I can trust with anything. I still fly economy, bargain at shops, use discounts and stay at three star hotels. I don’t support drinking or smoking because of the following three reasons in the order of their precedence and ranking from most important to least important- higher medical insurance costs, diseases and pollution. Getting rich does not change one’s lifestyle.

What took so long for GM to take its Chevrolet Range Rover out of India?

To start with,your question is a bit unclear,Range Rover belongs to JLR and not Chevrolet. So i am presuming you mean it as Chevrolet. Since i am not sure of intention of the question as to why it should have been taken out earlier,i would restrain from answering much on it. Chevrolet was able to fetch numbers not only on Beat and Cruze, Spark and Tavera have done job well too. To speak of Spark,there was a time during recession when it was only vehicle that kept many suppliers floating. It saved the day for GM in India during those rough times. Tavera has had a good impact on taxi segment before Innova took over. Chevrolet dealers were identified as Tavera dealers. Cruze was a headturner and Beat was an allrounder and maintained the status till last week. Rest launches should be referring to Captiva,Sail and Enjoy.Captiva certainly being all imported vehicle,was placed on a higher price range,and servicing of vehicle was an evident issue.Sail and Enjoy are hotcakes in China,but their failure in India is something GM would be analyzing for years before any launch anywhere. At some point GM in India seems to have fallen into a vicious cycle of no demand-no dealer profit- no dealer interest in selling-bad service-no demand and could never make out of it. Impact on industry would not be certainly any big as GM’s share was less than 1% in recent times.But impact on customers would be high,because many have emotional connect to Beat and Cruze.While maintaining the stand,the point to be pondered is if this step would lay down a precedence for other companies to follow,when they sell low in numbers. GM cars certainly have been best in quality ,and it was a challenge for GM to keep the prices competitive while assuring the quality. And such a practice is not uncommon globally,Toyota and Holden announced closure of plants in Australia. Perhaps GM still finds running plant it India viable which keeps the doors open,if sometime in future they find an apt market in India.

What are some interesting startups in India?

Flipkart India’s foremost online retailer, providing a marketplace for both direct sales and merchants. Like rivals Amazon and Alibaba, Flipkart’s diverse array of products includes everything from LED bulbs and bath towels, to sarees and fans, and they are still adding more. In addition to apps on every mobile OS, Flipkart has partnered with India’s top mobile wallet brand Mobikwik. By March of 2015, Flipkart had received a total funding amount of $2.45B, with Accel Partners and Tiger Global Management among the key investors. Given that Flipkart’s founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal once worked at the Seattle headquarters of Amazon, we are keen to see just how far they can take their Bezos-inspired entrepreneurial vision in the world’s best-performing emerging market of 2014. snapdeal The Delhi-based Snapdeal is Flipkart’s main competitor on home soil, with a network of over 50,000 domestic and international brands and more than 20 million members. As well as its Deal of the Day feature, the ecommerce marketplace also sells special offers of newly launched products, like the Lenovo WD100, in its Exclusive Store. When news broke in June 2015 regarding the recruitment of former Yahoo! executive Anand Chandrasekaran, Snapdeal was discussed by the tech media alongside Uber and Snapchat due to its $1B-plus unicorn status. In a mere 5 years, Snapchat’s two founders have managed to capture 1 out of every 6 Indian Internet users, so its future—just like that of its prestigious U.S. counterparts—is certainly one to keep an eye on. Freecharge In a market where smartphone usage continues to head skyward, FreeCharge’s platform for recharging mobile phones and data cards has gained strong traction. Described as a “uniquely Indian” model by Tech In Asia, FreeCharge rewards users with value from more than 300 premium brands including McDonalds and Lavazza. Acquired by Snapdeal for $450M in April 2015, FreeCharge is now being positioned to take on Paytm dominant presence in the Indian consumer Internet market. Following the news of the acquisition, the startup’s founder and CEO Kunal Shahof told the media that FreeCharge has never been scared by “audacious goals” while explaining that he wants to add utilities to the platform so that customers can benefit from a “complete set of services.” Such boldness is characteristic of the startup ethos, so if it pays off, FreeCharge’s success will surely be something to behold. Bigbasket Grocery e-tailer BigBasket is India’s largest online food and grocery store, selling more than 1,000 brands including an “Imported & Gourmet” range. Residents of Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and Delhi can pay online with plastic, or by cash/sodexo when the delivery arrives at their door. The startup also sells grocery products under its own brand names Fresho, Popular, and Royal. BigBasket’s 40,000 sq. ft warehouse will expand to 75,000 sq. ft by August 2015, and CEO Hari Menon revealed plans to launch in a further 50 cities by mid-2016. BigBasket plans to grow revenue four-fold in the 2015–16 financial year, and Fresho, Popular, and Royal products—which account for 35% of revenue—will be available in 1,800 grocery stores by the end of 2015. BigBasket only launched in December 2011 and, with Indians spending around $370B annually on food and groceries, the future is bright. Bookmyshow Online ticketing platform BookMyShow provides caters to customers who want to attend everything from movies to plays to sporting events. Customers can purchase gift cards, receive offers based on bank patronage, and use the mobile app to buy their tickets. After raising $25M in June 2014, the company has been growing yearly at 70%, and operates in 2,500 of the 10,000 screens across India. Having secured the ticketing rights to both the Indian Premier League and the Twenty20 World Cup, BookMyShow is a force to contend with. With a presence in the UAE and New Zealand, cofounder Rajesh Balpande says that the startup will look at internationalization more seriously in the next period. Ola Ola is India’s locally grown version of Uber, with a vehicle range that consists of economy hatchbacks, sedans, and luxury cars. Popular models include the Toyota Innova and Chevrolet Tavera taxi cabs. After booking a ride with the Ola app, users can pay online or by cash on delivery. Even though Ola currently serves over 100 cities, the startup raised $400M in its Series E round in April 2015 for even further expansion. The latest funding round was led by DST Global, which values the company at $2.5B. Ola has become more attractive to Indian customers after Uber-related incidents continue to appear in the media—the latter is present in only 11 Indian cities—and, with the 10-fold geographical expansion it achieved in the last year, the transport app is likely to reach its 200-city target by the end of 2015. Recently, Ola also launched a food on-demand service called Ola Cafe, and acquired smaller rival TaxiForSure along with its 15,000 vehicles. Quikr Quikr helps its users buy and resell goods and services, as they can post free ads on its online marketplace. Popular categories on India’s largest classifieds site include “Bikes & Scooters” and “Kitchen Appliances.” Prior to boosting its total funding to $350M in April 2015, Quikr launched the site- and app-friendly QuikrNXT messaging feature that lets prospective buyers and sellers communicate with each other without disclosing their phone numbers. According to Quickr, it serves 30 million monthly users who are active in 1,000 Indian cities. With this kind of patronage, Quikr plan to launch a separate property portal called is not surprising, and it may eventually win the title of “Craigslist of India.” Zomato Restaurant locator Zomato is already well-and-truly internationalized with a presence in 20 countries, meaning that people from Adelaide, Australia, to Porto Alegre, Brazil, can use the site to find local eateries, scan detailed menus, read trusted foodie reviews, share restaurant experiences with friends, and even find an establishment based on their mood at the time. As well as its global expansion, Zomato has made a number of acquisitions, the latest of which was Urbanspoon in June 2015. Post-Urbanspoon, Zomato is expecting to receive 80M monthly web visits, while its funding total of $163M includes backing from Sequoia Capital. If the intensive, rapid growth has not impressed you by now, Zomato’s 1M-plus listings, located in 10,000 cities in 22 countries, means that the search startup is mentioned alongside names like Yelp and Foursquare. We are keeping an eye on this one. Hike Hike is a P2P messaging app that covers both data and SMS. Its designers have kept the Indian audience in mind with an offline capability, localized stickers, and a hidden mode (it is common to share phones in India). Users can also transfer up to a 100MB of data and manage their privacy with fine-tune settings. Launched in mid-2012, Hike has grown into one of India’s leading mobile apps with around 35 million users, 90% of whom are aged below 25 years. Three years after going live, total funding has reached $86M. With the backing of Japan’s SoftBank, founder Kavin Bharti Mittal has made an impact in a short time frame, but the recent acquisition of U.S.-based voice-calling app Zip Phone shows that WhatsApp needs to watch its back. Policybazaar Policybazaar provides a search platform that makes the overwhelming process of insurance-policy shopping far less stressful, as users can compare products from all of India’s major insurance companies to emerge with the policy that is most suitable. But, the service doesn’t stop there, as the startup also assists with the online purchase of policies that backed up by 24/7 support. By May 2014, Policybazaar had raised a total of $50M in funding and its current value stands at over $200M. Cofounder Yashish Dahiya said in March 2015 that the company is working on an mass-media insurance-education initiative for Indian consumers. In light of the high degree of foreign VC interest at Policybazaar last funding round, we think this customer-centric startup is on the right track. Thank you ….

What was the most satisfying moment of your life as an adult which you want to share with everyone?

Why is Ford not a globally trusted brand like German car brands?

Ford is only good at selling one thing: F-150 trucks and its derivative (250 or 350) to Americans. Elsewhere, Ford only thrive in Europe, because this American company has some kind of affinity towards other “white people" countries. So they let them run semi-independently, developing their own cars that suit European needs but may be too small for American taste, such as Ford Ka or Ford Fiesta. Likewise, they did the same for Australia too. Then, we have Latin American Ford, Mexico and Brazil, where Ford from this countries produce more reasonable cars with sensible economics for the more sensible global consumers. Both European and Latin American Fords are what makes Ford truly a global company. Such as this Brazilian Ford. The only thing American Ford produce that somewhat successfully captured the global market was this: A model line, originating from Ford-Mazda collaboration when Ford still owns Mazda. Otherwise the world is totally unfamiliar with American Ford cars until only very recently, but that's only the Mustang GT. But other American Fords? Top Gear Ford F150 SVT Lightning - video dailymotion Yes, that's the stereotype there. No, we prefer Ford Ranger please. But we have another problem on why Ford never truly dominates globally. Ford pulls out of Japan and Indonesia Ford pulls out of the passenger vehicle market in Russia https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/transport/ford-pulls-out-of-south-america-truck-business-closes-brazil-plant Ford, like many other American business, is completely lacking in long term strategy. Unlike their military, American companies pull out very quickly once they realise that they are unable to beat Toyota or VW in that market. That instantly kills whatever goodwill, brand loyalty, let alone customer trust that has been built throughout their intermitent presence. Ford used to be present in Indonesia from back then. Selling the mid level sedans, Laser and Telstar. And in the late 1990s to early 2000s, they sort of gone. And then, in mid 2000s, they returned with quite a bang with Ford Escape, Fiesta, Ranger, and then Focus. Their products enjoyed some kind of limited success, if only Ford would commit more on updating their lineups. As a result, the momentum sort of tapering in the early 2010s. So, in 2016, they decided to pull out altogether, leaving all their current loyal customers in limbo. Whatever Ford has put up in this market, they just throw it all away, because either they are pissed with the local competition or the top management are too optimistic about their target for Indonesia and simply failed. The root cause of this is pretty fundamental: American giant businesses: shock & awe mentality. Either they go big, or don't bother. That is not what the Germans do with their far more organic and adaptive market strategy. Why do aging, giant, too big to fail type of American businesses are like this? It is all for the ambitious presentation show in a corporate boardroom “our expansion plan to Indonesia” - a 10 year grinding foreign market effort doesn't look good for greedy American fat cats It is all for padding the social climbing executives' resume - numbers game: we are number one in Indonesia, we broke 1 millionth Ford sold in Indonesia, etc A cute story for the typical “best selling success-peddling humblebragging American business people” autobiography - a much more credible American social points than influencer instagram account or cashable social media fame American exceptionalism - the pervasive belief that the whole world automatically admires and will unconditonally rub American dicks. The truth is, the whole world needs USA and USA needs the world, but it doesn't mean that United States of America = The World Marxist brand strategy: that Ford customers are assumed to be uniform across the world Ford Pinto: money > human life. Let alone “customers” American myopic capitalist corporations can only think in one direction: repeat the same success formula and expects the same from their other product lineups. As you may already know, this is the precursor of all that classy capitalism greed. After all, what do greedy capitalists with too much money know about cars? Well, let alone cars, about how to run a company? A business? All they know is just reading bean counter's reports, and yell at management when the figures doesn't look right. Amorphous catch-all business moves like this makes it difficult for common people to do this clichéd marketing exercise: “describe Ford in 3 words” “Reliability?” Nope, they left the market whenever they want, leaving you stranded without parts. “Variety?” Nope, they are killing off too many product lineups nowadays. Such brand presence that is. It is not like the Germans didn't try. Remember Daimler-Chrysler? Why DaimlerChrysler Never Got into Gear Cross-cultural challenges at the DaimlerChrysler merge A business move that only perpetuates the stereotype about German global domination failure? Daimler went American capitalism, in a way that they exchanged quality and reputation for “economy”. I mean, it has been a common trope amongst petrolheads and car enthusiasts that Mercedes-Benz of this “global domination” era and the Daimler-Chrysler, was shite. Just google it: mercedes quality issues 2000 My father's friend owned a W203 C-Class. The dashboards rattled loudly when idle, louder than our Toyota Innova. The cabin vibration was worse than our Honda jazz. The guy sold it and bought Mitsubishi Grandis instead. Then, they realised that they have been doing something wrong. So, they split and reverted back to be the luxury car maker, no longer eyeing for Toyota's spot. German car makers have a tradition, and they stuck with it, perfected it, and give their engineering a passionate support. Germans are proud about their autos. German car owners couldn't help themselves but feel the same. Even cases like dieselgate, which is hardly relatabale to people who mostly don't care about environment from the beginning did very little to curb people's enthusiasm about German cars.

Which cars will be the rivals for the MG G10 MPV?

MG G10 is an MPV that was unveiled at the Auto expo 2020 by MG. The MG G10 is a rebadged LDV G10, which is sold in China, and is also offered in Australia as the Maxus G10. The MG G10 will primarily rival the Kia Carnival and will be an affordable alternative to the Toyota Velfire luxury MPV, which will soon be launched in India. It will also rival the Toyota Innova Crysta.

If Hyundai is available in Japan than Kia, should the Korean marque team up with Toyota to invest in Subaru by increasing their businesses? Especially when Subaru too could build and rebuild some of its cars with Hyundai/Kia DNA and not from Toyotas.

So, if Hyundai/Kia collaborates with Toyota thus ends up investing in ,Subaru Corporation, and their automotive manufacturing division of the same name. (,Subaru,.) Therefore, it could be just like Croatia’s ,Rimac, car company that both Hyundai and Kia have been investing in them alongside Volkswagen’s Porsche subsidiary, Porsche on the other hand, also owns a stake in ,Rimac Automobili, alongside Hyundai and Kia. So, if Hyundai and Kia rather invests in both Subaru companies, which means it could help increase both Subaru companies’ businesses as well, even if Toyota owns both shares in both Subaru companies too, just like what I said that both VW, Hyundai, and Kia owns stakes and even invests in Rimac. === See also: Hyundai - worldwide | Statista Market Forecast, (it has a revenue of US$26,725m) Kia - worldwide | Statista Market Forecast, (it has a revenue of US$17,496m) Toyota - worldwide | Statista Market Forecast, (it has a revenue of US$58,222m) Subaru - worldwide | Statista Market Forecast, (it has a revenue of US$11,127m) === So, Hyundai/Kia and Toyota invests in Subaru with those revenues, therefore, Subaru’s revenue in US dollars could increase to US$113,57m. Which could also mean for Subaru to overtake, thus challenge Toyota, Nissan, and even Honda as well, especially with Nissan and Honda being on the verge of uncertainties. (but Subaru gaining more money from Hyundai/Kia and Toyota could also boost and revise its target market as identical to Hyundai and Kia) === The V and inline ICEs (so do future engine technologies) of Hyundai/Kia cars from circa 2000s to present are better in all attributes (value, reliability, durability, fuel consumption) in comparison to Toyota, as Hyundai and Kia were pioneers in selling inexpensive vehicles in the past. ==== Which you could also understand too that Hyundai contributed those things (better engines and cars) to the ever-growing Indian market (see: ,Hyundai Motor India Limited - Wikipedia,), especially if you could ask to Indian Quorans (who talk about cars) like ,Dileep Kumar Reddy M, and ,Anubhav Mattoo, about preferring Hyundai/Kia over ‘Toyota’ in India, therefore they could agree with the point that Hyundai/Kia cars fare better than Toyota in India. (see: ,Hyundai Custo (Toyota Innova Rival) Spotted Again Ahead Of Launch, - ‘Hyundai, the second largest carmaker in India’) Not to mention, Toyota in India is deeply little in existence than Hyundai (while Subaru on Indian soil is deeply non-existent), though Kia only entered the Indian market circa 2018, as you could click those links seen below: Why Toyota Cars are best seller all over world but not in India? Why is Toyota not aggressive in selling cars in India? Vignesh V Ramakrishnan's answer to Why is Toyota not aggressive in selling cars in India? Why does Toyota India always launch their vehicles much later than the competition? Why did Toyota fail in India? Toyota India decides to stop expansion, while on the other hand Tesla talks with the Karnataka government to set up an R&D center. Is the automobile sector in India growing or shrinking? === Otherwise, if you understand about the history of Hyundai’s cars even before they took over Kia in 1998, you could also know that the engine technology of earlier Hyundai cars were based from the vehicles of ,Mitsubishi Motors,. Like the Pony, Stellar, and the first three generations of the Sonata. (see: ,Is the technological capability gap between Hyundai and Mitsubishi converging or diverging? Findings from patent data analysis, and the images below:) === Instead of giving up their stakes at Toyota in favour of aligning with Hyundai/Kia, therefore Subaru could rather model their business situation after ,Rimac,, for exposing its (Rimac’s) owners/investors being Volkswagen AG (Porsche) and the Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai and Kia). But, if both Subaru companies could provide knowledge/assets/access to the Hyundai Motor Group’s umbrella, even if both Subaru companies are partly owned by Toyota. Then I repeat, the car manufacturing division of the Subaru Corporation (named as Subaru) could rather gain benefit from: Hyundai’s engines and transmissions, all of them are inline (I3 and I4), V (only V6), and hybrid/electric. Business models, hence Hyundai and Kia also make cars built for utilitarian needs. And even their (Hyundai’s and Kia’s) behaviour of keeping half of their cars to run primarily, but permanently, and only in a ,front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) layout, than ,four-wheel drive,just like the: Hyundai i30 Hyundai Elantra The Europe and Oceania market-exclusive (plus European-designed and recently discontinued) ,Hyundai i40 And others as well Which is one of the attributes that made Hyundai/Kia cars affordable, reliable, durable, and efficient than Subaru and Toyota, as the boxer engines made Subaru cars prone to being overpriced, targeted by tax problems, and even unreliable than Hyundai/Kia vehicles, please check one of the lyrics you hear from Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’ song released in 2005: ‘Win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai’ - ‘The man Kanye knows is an NFL player who likely has a high salary yet drives an inexpensive Hyundai vehicle because his ex-wife drains his bank account.’ (see: ,Kanye West (Ft. Jamie Foxx) – Gold Digger,) Especially, you could also understand that Hyundai with Kia outside the USA and Canada (mainly overseas) have more cars of all shapes and sizes in their lineup than Subaru and Toyota as well. Toyota primarily does not have an expertise in making tiny cars of its own, but the ,Daihatsu, that America already forgot makes one (tiny cars) of its own since Daihatsu is part of Toyota. Also, Subaru rebadges cars from Daihatsu exclusively for the Japanese market. Thus, Subaru too gets nothing from Daihatsu as well, as their cars are exclusive to Japan, which means they are NOT currently sold in the USA/Canada, Europe/the UK, and Australia/New Zealand. === So which could mean that, Hyundai/Kia has better smaller cars than Toyota do, like the: Hyundai i10 Hyundai Xcent Hyundai Santro, (for India only) Hyundai i20 Kia Picanto Kia Rio === Subaru on the other hand, had made one of its own smaller cars before, like the: Subaru Rex Subaru Vivio Subaru Pleo ,(see: ,Subaru to stop making Kei Cars,) Subaru Justy Subaru Sambar,/,Subaru Sumo === Just if you thought that ,Subaru, is not about that, its first owner was surprisingly: Nissan, - ‘Nissan acquired a 20.4% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company, in 1968 during a period of government-ordered merging of the Japanese auto industry in order to improve competitiveness under the administration of Prime Minister Eisaku Satō. Nissan would utilize FHI's bus manufacturing capability and expertise for their Nissan Diesel line of buses. In turn many Subaru vehicles, even today, use parts from the Nissan manufacturing keiretsu. The Subaru automatic transmission, known as the 4EAT, is also used in the first generation Nissan Pathfinder. While under this arrangement with Nissan, Subaru introduced the R-2 (1969), the Rex and the Leone (1971), the BRAT (1978), Alcyone (1985), the Legacy (1989), the Impreza (1993) (and its WRX subtype), and the Forester (1997).’ (source: ,Subaru - Wikipedia,) And second, before Toyota, was General Motors - ‘Upon Nissan's alliance with Renault, its stake in FHI was sold to General Motors in 1999. Troy Clarke of General Motors served as representative to Fuji Heavy Industries on their corporate board. During that time, Subaru introduced the Baja (2003), and the Tribeca (2005). The Subaru Forester was sold as a Chevrolet Forester in India in exchange for the Opel Zafira being sold as a Subaru Traviq in Japan. Also, the Chevrolet Borrego concept was presented in 2002, a crossover coupe/pickup truck being derived from the Japanese-market Legacy Turbo platform. During the brief General Motors period, a badge engineered Impreza was sold in the United States as the Saab 9-2X. An SUV (Subaru Tribeca/Saab 9-6X) was also planned but the Saab version did not proceed, and styling was recycled in the 2008 Tribeca refresh. GM liquidated their holdings in FHI in 2005. Nearly all Saab-Subaru joint projects were dropped at that time, other than Subaru supplying parts for the Saab 9-2x. Toyota Motors bought a little over 40% of GM's former FHI stock, amounting to 8.7% of FHI. (The rest of GM's shares went to a Fuji stock buy-back program.)’ (source: ,Subaru - Wikipedia,) === While Nissan owned Subaru in the mid-1990s, Subaru even rebadged the second-generation ,Suzuki Swift, under the ‘,Subaru Justy,’ nameplate when Suzuki’s automaking division was active in the USA and Canada at the same time it (Suzuki) was owned by General Motors (too) from 1981 to 2009. Suzuki’s automotive manufacturing division now, is owned by Toyota (see: ,What pans out for Maruti Suzuki from Toyota-Suzuki partnership?,), while its (Suzuki’s) carmaking operations in the US and Canada were already better off dead since circa 2012. But, if Subaru could repeat their method of rebadging a Suzuki with developing their (Subaru’s) own ,city car (aka microcar), and ,supermini (aka subcompact in US termsi, under the help of Hyundai/Kia and not Toyota. Therefore Subaru’s development of making their own city cars and superminis under the cooperation of Hyundai/Kia could rather install their (Hyundai’s/Kia’s) own engines into those kind of vehicles Subaru could release sooner or later in the future. Thus, Subaru could rather use the ,global version of the current-generation Kia Rio, as the model for their own supermini vehicle instead of the [Hyundai] i20 or ,[Toyota] Yaris,, the current-generation ,Yaris, that is exclusive to the European and Japanese markets is highly priced than the Rio or the i20 in fact. Especially, the global version of the current-generation [Kia] Rio (like its [Hyundai] i20 sibling) is deeply affordable, better in fuel economy, efficient, durable, safe, and even reliable than the rest like the Yaris. (images seen below:) And also, supermini is the classification of cars that rally car racing series and promoters (like the ,World Rally Championship,) currently use, which means Subaru could just use the mannequin of the aforementioned, current generation Kia Rio hatchback so that they could increase its ambition of returning in the deeply Eurocentric WRC rally racing series... (see: ,Modern rally cars - a spotter's guide,.) === - ,Genda Nicolai Yturzaeta Iwakawa/awakawI ateazrutY ialociN adneG, (please thank and apologise me for the long and hard to make answer I worked so hard)

Why are other auto-making companies unable to compete with Toyota Innova?

I am not an Indian. But I think that is because since I could not speak nice about Toyota, then I realise that the Innova, which is neither sold in Europe, is a ,multi-purpose vehicle/minivan, with conventional doors, and in addition to it, “auto-making” is correctly spelled as “automaking”. That means, car manufacturing companies like the ,Hyundai Motor Group,, and to a lesser extent, ,Nissan, would neither build a challenger to the Innova is not only because both two East Asian marques - which considers Toyota as their heated rival - are now preferring crossover vehicles, but also, they consider making an MPV for themselves [Hyundai-Kia and Nissan] is a ,drivel, [hence pointless]. That is also curious to know the word “MPV” is a Britain-centred term for “minivan”, which is a US-centred term, therefore it is deeply difficult for people to know. Which is why, Hyundai-Kia and Nissan are preferring themselves to make crossovers instead of MPVs, ,estates,, and even ,saloons,, as the latter words are translated in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as “,wagon[s],” and “,sedan[s],”. See also: Genda Nicolai Yturzaeta Iwakawa's answer to What do car enthusiasts in India think of the ongoing global chip shortage crisis in which it affects Nissan? So in addition, why shouldn't the Magnite maker alone merge and share parts with Hyundai until they [Nissan] become a Japan-centred marque? in OverSpeed Genda Nicolai Yturzaeta Iwakawa's answer to Ford motors will cease their Brazil manufacturing operations by the end of 2021, do you think India will be next in line?
