Good for Skoda. While Ford Figo did 25,000 in close to 100 days, how long did Fabia take?

Thanks for sharing the link.
But you cannot compare Figo and Fabia. The Alto K10 got 20,000 bookings in just 40 days!
When the Fabia was launched in india, it carried a tag of premium hatch and was expensive as compared to the current model and people took long time to accept a hatch which came at the price of sedan.

Finally! I think now after the price reduction the Fabia may achieve the next milestone a bit quicker!


+1 to Akash's statement. At that time premium hatches were not doing well until i20 and Punto arrived and changed the trend!

Not to forget the horror stories of their servicing by some of their dealers. Anyway, good for them. Hope they are doing something about it and change their ways.

More competition is better for us, customers also
