You could get a well maintained 2nd hand Landcruiser/LX470 or a brand new Prado for that money. Pajero's are now considered too expensive and not at all a VFM SUV. That was the biggest mistake done by Mitsubishi. The Pajero was the most widely imported SUV to be imported into India before HM-Mitsubishi officially started selling it here. If you were a filmstar or connected to the film industry in any way (be it a spotboy or a Director) you had to have a Pajero. Mercedes : W201 190 E / W123 E Class / W123 S Class Among the other brands were the Lexus LS400, Audi 80/100 etc.

The E Class and S Class along with the 5 and the 7 Series were also imported for those who could afford them. Obviously the performance oriented fellow went for the BMW 3 Series. Although it wasn't known as the C-Class then, the W201 190E/D was the cheapest and widely imported Mercedes to be driven in in the country. These too are the very same models that are now officially available in the Indian market. To name a few, the Toyota Corolla, Camry, Honda Accord, Honda Civic etc.Ī lot of high end Mercs and BMW's also made their way into the country. Almost all these cars are now available here with proper service / spares backup. Such was the popularity of these cars that the manufacturers decided to officially manufacture and sell them here.Īs and when manufacturers that these models were quite well known, these cars started being sold in India. As new models were launched abroad, these were subsequently imported here within a couple of weeks. And these imports did not just stop with one model. Other widely imported cars included the Toyota Carina, Honda Civic, also a couple of Nissan Bluebirds / Sunny's etc. Although they were expensive they hardly required much maintenance and parts were available in all major metro's. Accords and Corolla's (Corona's earlier) were the most widely imported cars in those years. No wonder they have been the best selling (even stolen) cars in the US too. Among the many are the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Accord. Yes, the cars which used to be imported earlier are now being manufactured / or sold as CBU's. Sedans : Look at the Indian Car Scene now and its no wonder from where it has evolved.
