Jazz is flop ??? dude, it’s Honda…don’t compare a cheap baleno n I 20 with if…just ride Jazz ,then u ll feel y it charges a premium over baleno n I 20
It’s gonna be another flop product after jazz. The Jazz was a flop Bcoz of the extra pillar near the driver. All such products like jazz, sx4 have been flops bcoz of confused outer view for driver
