Following the footsteps of its German rivals, Mercedes has announced that they will hike car prices in India from January 2014. The price hike will be to the tune of 10 per cent. This can clearly be seen as a means to clear existing stocks and to make way for fresh ones in the new year. Mercedes which recently launched the SLK55 AMG here, so far, has had a successful year. The company launched many new models and is poised to bring in even newer ones in 2014.
