And is it relevant to Mahindra if people from Romania sign it?

There are economical interests and nobody will accept to loose money.
This is the ugly face of capitalism .

Life sucks and then we die.

And since Indians believe in reincarnation... then life sucks again.

Otherwise... i have the same question as eXtenSion's.

The relevance for Mahindra will be zero. I think that same value will be also applied for all signatures from India...

so, what's the problem? it will be sold under a new name? under a new Q&A? or every body will lose their jobs, from closed down factories?

As long as India has that crap tax for cars with over 4meters in lenght, Logan will never succeed in that country. Therefore, Logan will die, with or without online petitions.

Also, I don't know about India economics, but I don't think that this cheap car is also cheap in India. Sounds wierd but it is not. Why? Because as I know, the cars are made with many parts manufactured here in Europe. Here the costs are higher, also the shipping cost must be taken into account.

I'm sorry for you, but from what I heard until now about Logan in India, I'm pretty sure that it is doomed.

Yes it has been sold to Mahindra and now they just wanted to cash the existing numbers by providing service or costly spare parts.

We have news that Mahindra is planning to cut short Logan to a sub 4 mtr vehicle to save import duty (tax). Rubbish - A car which was advertised to people by saying Widest Body car will be shortend now

And I tell you Its not Indian people do this way but its a failure of unplanned JV and poorest marketing from both companies. Logan made a record of sales in first few months of launch but those big fat management people made Logan a cash cow by stopping promotions, ads etc. due to their personal JV problems resulting Logan is having a slow death.

Now to just avoid a dent in Renault's catalogue they are Launching Koleos and Fluence under their name in India and sold Logan to Mahindra. What a bullshit is this !!!

Not rubbish at all. The indian market is very rubbish if they believe that they can expect to buy a car with "Widest Body" in a country where normal cars (for European markets) are treated specialy and such a car is affected by these taxes. I heared that this tax is not small at all.

The marketing is always telling the truth. The problem is that it is only a partial truth The market needs to wise enough to identify these
