I think this is the trick done by dealers to boost the sales of present range of cars. A-star is coming that is know to all, and can be even known from Maruti website. Most prospective customers will be looking forward to wait for the A-star to come. If a prospective Wagon R buyer comes to know more about A-star, he will sure postpone his buying and wait till A-star is out.
So this slows down the sales of present cars, and thats why the trick comes up. Coupled with the festive offers, they can sell the cars they have in stock.
