ReplyDeleteMaruti is little late in updating the Alto. They should have done before Hyundai Eon's launch!
ReplyDeleteThe design and styling doesn't seems good. Maruti could have atleast given it a fresh one rather copying from A star.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clear info....Any diesel version small car coming up from Maruti? Hope to hear that news soon.:)

ReplyDeleteMaruti is the most successful automotive brand of India.It has a stronghold on the small car segment with a lots of expertise and people trust in them.Now its going to replace its ace player and a car of decade to a modern combination of 800 and alto.I believe its in reach of strong middle class of India which will definitely buy it.
