Comment of the day – sandyzen – “Auto Trunk Opener @ Rs. 3390/-, which can be accessorised to your wish… thats cool. I’m expecting auto makers to extend this trend of accessorised features putting freedom on buyers to select the features to their personal taste for ‘zabardast’ factor, rather then buying fixed trim ‘zabardasti’.”
