<div>Another day, another car launch. And yet, this one was different. It was the revival of the iconic Datsun brand with the launch of “Go”, a five-door compact hatchback. BW Businessworld takes a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the car:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>The Good:<br /></strong></span><strong>The price: </strong>Carlos Ghosn MD and CEO of Nissan promised the buyers a car under Rs 4 lakh. Company sources say that it would be priced closer to Rs 3.75 lakh, making it a lot cheaper than most competitors in the segment.<br /><br /><strong>The look:</strong> The styling of the car makes it look like the premium hatchback. It comes with plenty of slashes and cuts that are easy on aesthetic sensibilities<br /><strong><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Read Also</span>: <a href="http://businessworld.in/en/storypage/-/bw/fast-forward-to-the-past/r976375.37489/page/1">Fast Forward To The Past</a></strong><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>Read Also</strong></span><strong>: <a href="http://businessworld.in/en/storypage/-/bw/datsun-go-priced-at-rs-4-lakh/r985834.37495/page/0">Datsun 'Go' Priced At Rs 4 Lakh</a></strong><br /><br /><strong>The Features: </strong>Plenty of the ‘cool quotient’ here with like a docking board for smartphones<br /><br /><strong>The Interiors: </strong>The rear has plenty of space to fit in three grown adults. Besides this the plastic doesn’t feel cheap. The interiors also have a mix of two shades of beige giving it a nice feel<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong><img width="200" vspace="8" hspace="8" height="200" align="right" src="/image/image_gallery?uuid=7ddadc9c-b1dd-4009-a7c8-4de99df8f51b&groupId=36166&t=1373956177571" alt="" />The Bad:</strong></span></div><ul><li>The Datsun Go will have to struggle with the Nissan dealership network which at the current 95 don’t compare at all with Maruti’s 200+ network</li><li>The car only comes in a gasoline, which, given India’s current shoddy fuel pricing mechanism could well work against the car</li><li>It has been built on the Micra platform, which didn’t do as well as it was expected in India</li></ul><div><br /><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>The Ugly:</strong></span></div><ul><li>The dashboard is standard and the gear has been moved to it as well, creating a lot of space between the two front seats, supposedly making space for a child to sit in the middle. But Nissan forgot to place a seat here, or even a seating board making the gap look awkard</li><li>The gear which is part of the dashboard could well give you a tennis elbow if you are driving over 15 kilometres and are on the shorter side </li></ul><div><br />swati(dot)garg(at)abp(dot)in<br />ms(dot)garg(dot)swati(at)gmail<br />Twitter: (at)swatigarg <br /></div>
