BTW according to one of the biggest dlrs in Lahore, the Swift will be on display at Pearl Continental Lahore, from January 7th. That is also its expected Launch date and the day booking starts. Price is still a secret. Only things clear are, it will be 1300cc, and initially will only be available in the petrol version.
I saw two Swifts at a local dlr today. One of the employees is a good acquaintance and he took me out back to have a look.
Bridgestone Turanza Tires
Excellent paint and fit and finish.(According to the body shop guy the fit and finish is nothing like the other Suzuki cars)
Sporty looking Stock Alloys
Fog Lamps
Rear Spoiler with a brake light and a place to install a camera.
They have a Cultus parked on the showroom floor with a cover on it, and the have promotional papers all over the car stating "Suzuki Introduces a new model for you". They are basically trying to trick the people into thinking it is a new model Cultus :-), whereas the actual cars are parked in the storage area.
