All that low-price appeal was not enough, because it was perceived as a sign of povertry. Meanwhile, even a motorcycle or those tricycles which are still all around India (and exported in large quantities to other 3rd-world countries) are seen as more "neutral" somehow, even though most people tend to consider a motorcycle or something similar as inherently "inferior" to a car, even if it's a Hayabusa vs. a random econobox with some bells and whistles.
