Sad.

This variant was a fantastic value. To those on the fence, grab them while you still can - you might even get some clearance discounts.

The kind of driving pleasure with this engine at this price is unmatched!

Rapid rider plus is great VFM model. Specially considering the rumour mill that rapid might be replaced with a new sedan it might be a great time to get the car. I looked at rapid and kushaq in showroom and personally preferred the overall fit and finish of rapid to kushaq. So not sure how good this new platform might translate to with new sedans in pipeline when compared to old platform of rapid, vento and polo.
