Excellent work by them. I am sure people looking to buy Petrol Sedan would get the benefit.

It seems that Honda India is taking measures to tackle the low sales which are caused as a result of the sky rocketing fuel prices.
Anyway this introduction would defenitly be going to have a positive impact on the sales figures.
