Toyota Motor Corp is struggling to crack the affordable end of India's car market and has called on mini-car affiliate Daihatsu for help - a tacit admission that the Japanese autos giant doesn't always get it right in emerging markets.

A similar partnership between Toyota and 51 percent-owned Daihatsu Motor Co has proved successful for years in Indonesia- though is slipping now .
The request could see Daihatsu take the lead in developing no-frills cars that would be sold under the Toyota name and through Toyota's sales channels in India.
There, several models including the most affordable minicar, the Agya, which Toyota markets in certain markets.

Toyota Aygo compact car arrives in India for R&D purpose - will it take on Maruti's Alto and Hyundia's Eon?
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the new generation Toyota Aygo is more spacious than the predecessor. Under the bonnet is the 1.0-litre petrol motor that produces 68bhp of power and 95Nm of peak torque. A five-speed manual transmission comes as standard, while the European spec models also get an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) with paddle shifters. This model is equipped with several high end safety and security features such as ABS with EBD, brake assist, curtain airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, and other features. However, this small car is unlikely to get such safety features if it comes to the Indian market.

Toyota confirmed that plans of bringing Daihatsu to India are on hold for now. The reason is the recent Toyota-Suzuki alliance this February. Both the Japanese companies shook hands for a business partnership with respect to green cars, autonomous driving tech as well as mutual products, with the Indian market in their firm sight

All the Toyota products are overpriced ( Innova, Fortuner, Etios) . Toyota needs to bring in a new fresh hatchback with aggressive pricing.

Diatshu designs are very boring and conservative, they should bring yaris the latest gen, as it has both hatchback and salon body styles.

Toyotas arent overpriced imho
They offer better peace of mind, reliability and service experience which Ive not found with any other manufacturer in India so far
There are stray incidents but they are too minor and too less in number
