The new model of Estilo (Sport Limited Edition) is from there old lot with some graphical changes to attaract buyers nothing more. Wagon R was doing good before, but now due to competition from i10 and others Wagon R sales have gone down. To sell there old lot Dealer have to say that these models are doing good.
According to latest ACI reports still WagonR is the second largest selling car in India (behind Alto). It is still comfortably beating i10 by a couple of thousand or so!
Anyway Hyundai is still selling Santro which is now not even in top 10! Manufacturers will continue selling these cash cows for whatever profits they can generate (simply coz there is a huge market for small cars). I think both Estilo and WagonR will still stay. In any case if these new cars (Splash/A-Star) make dents in Estilo/WagonR sales that should still be acceptable for Suzuki. They are all cars from the same stable so money going into the same hands. A-Star/Splash might even mean more profits!
