How it got that much expensive?, the 3rd generation Picanto is priced at around the same number as the 2nd generation Picanto. Everywhere in the world, when new generation arrives , it replaces the previous generation at around the same price bracket .. yes few hundred dollars +/- are normal and typical but evey new generation comes with some extra standard features and improvements.
The 2nd gen base model 1L manual Picanto strated at 9400 while the 3rd generation starts at 10,200. For base 1L manual model. I dont see thoundads of GBP difference.
