India also has the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world, seems everyone is looking at India for innovation.

I might be wrong, but didnt Dacia make some of their cars in india for a while? but had body corrosion problems?

Think thats what the Dacia dealer told my friend at work when he was complaining about his new Dacia and its rust...

Hyundai and BMW manufacture in India. Not sure if BMW products reach our shores but Hyundai i10 and i20s definitely do.

That's because they were built to prestige car standards such as Mercedes E Class.

Our German friends would have just charged extra for the "outdoors paint scheme for country lovers".
