    If this comes at this cost ex-showroom, it will be around 440k on road which brings it smoothly in lower-middle class consumer ship whereas I don't think Nissan or Hyundai would enter that place. Their maintenance cost is higher.

    "The launch of Stingray is in line with our strategy to provide new and refurbished models to our customers to create excitement in the market place. Indian auto industry has been going through a slowdown, but despite this customers continue to buy Maruti cars," MSI Managing Director and CEO Kenichi Ayukawa told reporters here. The company is going to try to sell this car this festive season. Will it work? Will we see a lot of Wagon R Stingrays on Indian roads? What are your opinions CEans?

    Is the product launched already? Well it completely depends on the costing they release for the car finally. That will determine its on-road cost and ultimate impact on the buyers. For the first-second year professionals or graduates, this is a good pick but still depends on the cost.

    So this is what we expect from Indian Automobile giants that it provide more safety to customers who drive it with Airbag,ABS,fog lamp,etc.Power could be more but provided the efficiency of maruti We accept that low power output.
    To compete Micra,i10 Maruti must produce some powerful monsters also.

    What I feel is that Maruti could have tweaked this baby up a little more. All of Maruti's cars are superb modifiable ones, but I feel that Maruti should try to take the credit for bringing the monster up for itself. If you look at almost all variants of Maruti that is owned by youngsters - you'd find that most of them would have added larger and thicker wheels and sexier spoilers, and most people love to give that extra punch of power to the overall revving of the engine. In Kerala, Pete's is very famous for their imported parts and mods. Why shouldn't Maruti exploit this market with their own products when about 90% of Indians use Maruti automobiles daily???

    I think the number of people you are speculating MS users are too high. Plus not all of them do modifications in cars. And modifying the car voids its guaranty I believe so making more and more models just for the sake of some mods is not feasible I think. What they can do is offer an extra paid addon system.

    Exactly what I was vouching for pal! Stingray could have had those mods. Most youngsters prefer modding - so why not give them Maruti's own version of parts is all I'm saying.

    That's it. They just missed their head start of low rates to gain on the market. Now they are again in the same category of mid range cars. We needed cheap ones. 5.5 lacs is too high difference compared to 4 lacs
