I am sure more than 90% of the Indigos sold have been diesel. I guess the Esteem is still considered Value For Money.
Esteem is 'C-' segments' M-800. It has reached its plateau. It won't rise or fall very quickly either way.

Zen's market share is gobbled up by Santro/Wagon-R/Alto and Indica.

Palios and Petras have shown >100% growth, but that is more due to their small numbers. It's still too small a number to make any rational comparison with competitors. It would be interesting to see how it keeps up till March 07. If it actually does, competitors may have a 'glance' at them.

Civic may have been everyone else, but it may also be because of the new car hype. NHC sales is sustained through its FE magic, so dear to Indian customers. Not sure if Civic can retain the number same way, or will it head Swift way.
