My Thoughts

The new Honda City looks amazing with the new looks and features it has got. Honda is planning to keep the 4 th generation old city as a just petrol variant for future as they did with Grand i10 even after the launch of it's successor the Grand i10 NIOS. And currently the 4th generation City is offered with great discounts. So that mean customers will get more choices in the price bracket. But ,I also think it will create confusion among the customers to either go to the new car or to go with a variant upgrade with the 4th gen car in there budget.
