Anurag Mehrotra, president & managing director, Ford India, said, "The festival season has started on a lower than expected note, owing to floods in Kerala, rising fuel prices and Rupee depreciation, the industry is looking forward to closing the festive season on a higher note."

Talking about the soon-to-be-launched Aspire facelift, Mehrotra said, "At Ford, we are excited to bring the New Ford Aspire on October 4 and look forward to welcoming customers at our dealerships." The company says that upcoming Ford Aspire is tailor-made for customers who don't follow the crowd and celebrated for the choices they make in life.
