^^ Reno is a Cultus inspired car, But Cultuses succesor or the Next GEN Cultus in the Swift. And i highly doubt Suzuki people would do such a major change.
Cultus VXL is probably omited to increase Swift sales in the executive sector, companies giving the cheapest power pack car avalible in the market now only have the choice of Swift after Cultus VXLi
On Pakwheels what rumours i had heard were that Paksuzuki was planing something to replace the RAVI/BOLAN car, nothing as such happened but they facelifed it.
My sources in 2006 said, Suzuki Swift is in the factory, but the production wont start unless the goverment gives some incentives. I droped the idea of Swift, sold my booked Cultus and bought a Vitz instead.
My sources also claimed, that Suzuki is discontinuing Mehran, a 800cc EFI, ALTO would be in the pipe line, 1000cc Alto would remain, and Swift would replace Cultus.
Althou after 4 years Swift is here, but as its have no CNG variant, the need to keep Cultus as a strong seller, After discontinuing Cultus VXLi my 6th sense says there launching a VXR and VXR cng variant of Swift to discontinue Cultus.
As after Baleno and Liana (Waste spark system) failure on CNG, the EFI Cultus has been a success and first successfull CNG EFI car by Pak Suzuki, which is being run on the distributor system.
Still we can only guess unless we see the real thing.
Un-avalibility and shortage of Cultus looks positive and seems we might see a new car. But Paksuzukis previus records say that they launch a new model while booking old models side side.
If ure lucky u get the newer car, if the price increase they give you an option to pay the difference or take back your money, or else ur told ur booking was told take the old car.
