@storm, sameer bhae, finaly suzuki is offering it as standard, coz wat i have heard is that theres no vxr and vxl, its Just Swift auto and Swift manual. and door beams wud be there because a liana also has em.
@all
secondly i do agree wid u on the airbag part, if not as standard it shud be provided as an option, (magr kisi ghatiya marketier ne hamare logo ke zehan bhar diye hain mass production reduces costs) thats y theres no concept of options in this country all u get is a standard package.
as a japanese used Vitz 2005 is priced between 800-825
add 50k for 2006
another 50k for 2007
another 50k for 2008
another 50k for 2009= Rs.1 million to 1.5 million
its a safety car wid 1.0L underpowerd 3 cylinder Engine (efi its not VVTI)
luks gud (i dunt like it) interior plastics are only as gud as of a local cultus (only luks better and is safer)
altho those cars a zillion times better ( and wont stop in the middle of the road)
then this one but Swift also has its bads and guds.
this car has + points of being a local, brand new and spare parts avalibility. a 1.3L doch engine ( a complete failure on CNG) due to waste spark system.
Paksuzuki has lost a huge market because of its quality, and manufacturing defects and then 0 customer care.
it wud be very hard for them to regain the lost customers no matter how gud the car is.
the only thing that wud attrat the lost Suzuki market is that this cars luks damn sexy nd luks better then a Toyota Vitz.
as far as competition is concerned our local mafia wud start importing the 1.3L Vitz thats probably not a big deal.
