There is an online petition from all Logan lowers from India seeking support from all over World. Dont forget to check and support at : An Appeal from Logan Lovers

Logan (now Mahindra Logan) is on discount of upto 80,000/- Rs. So all Logan prospective buyers rush to dealers to get the best deal for Logan (I tell you its an ultimate car failed due to poor management and marketing).

Lets see what sales numbers Logan can achive this month.

I have talked to many Logan owners and felt that non of them are unhappy with their decision of purchasing Logan but almost all said one this that Mahindra and screwed up all and rest was done Renault's non-sense quick decisions.

One of them said:

I am sure as per my experience and feeler its the end of LOGAN as a brand in India, because in any case Mahindra & Mahindra is more keen in using Renaults engine etc for their sub 4 mtr version launch which will be obiously a Mahindra design and a non Logan named product.

We can only hope that our Logan (old ones) parts available in future and we keep getting service from Mahindra.

For all blind Logan supporters and Logan lovers (including me) its a learning for us :-

How so good a car or product in technical terms or successful in other countries but always avoid buying a newly launched in India and wait for atleast 1 year to prove its success (in India specially).

We have no choice but to keep using it untill it becomes scrap.

Its Mahindra only who made a worldwide successful model of Logan like a canister for us with its poor marketing and management decisions. Im sure Renault was badly frustrated by their way of working took this wrong decision of leaving us in a hell like situation.

Joint Venture between Renault and Mahindra & Mahindra has come to end by Mahindra & Mahindra buying entire 49% stake in JV. Now M&M is 100% stake holder for Logan in India. M&M representative said they will continue production of Logan and also looking for future possiblities to increase the Logan sales in India.

Representatives of both companies signed a framework agreement earlier this week, making clear that M&M is taking over all operation for sales of Logan. M&M said that they will continue taking assistance from Renault for technical and parts support. M&M also said that they are looking for possibilities of curbing Logan engine capacity and its length to save around 20% in taxes and duties.

It will be a solo run for French car major Renault in India as it expands beyond its one-product joint venture with the Mahindra group that failed to impress buyers and ended up as a money-losing business for the two companies . The Carlos Ghosn-led company announced solo production and distribution plans for new products, including a small car. Renault on Tuesday said it would launch as many as five new cars over the next four years and these would be across product spectrum , including the big-volume hatchback segment.

India is a tough market, but a growing market. It is an opportunity for us to start again," Sudhir Rao, Renault India's COO, told TOI over phone from Mumbai. He said Renault plans to set up a new distribution network, which should grow to about 150 dealerships by 2014. The company plans to make new vehicles at its factory near Chennai, which is built in partnership with group company Nissan and will have a capacity of 4 lakh units per annum.

Renault's announcement of solo operations puts an end to speculation on whether it would include Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M ) in its expansion plans. With Logan failing to cut much ice in the market , relations between the two had soured, prompting them to take a fresh look at the partnership , as reported by TOI in its October 7, 2009 edition.
Sales of Logan produced at M&M's Nashik factory have been falling for more than a year, going down 61% during April 2009 and January 2010 to 4445 vehicles against a backdrop of 25% growth in domestic car sales.

Rao declined to give any specific comment on Logan JV and said Renault is talking to M&M about a restructuring , and a decision will be made in 30 to 45 days. " We are exploring various options for the JV as a business and Logan as a product," he said.
M&M's automotive sector president Pawan Goenka said the company wanted "continuity in Logan" , but declined to elaborate. Marc Nassif, country head for Renault in India, said the French car major hopes to sell over 100,000 units annually by 2014 and will introduce the Fluence and Koleos models in 2011.

Alliance In Danger

Carlos Ghosn-led Renault will not take along M&M in its future expansion and will launch five new cars, including a small car, from its factory near Chennai The present JV between M&M and Renault will be restructured as the relationship between the two companies has soured after poor performance of sedan Logan
