I think the Skoda should get the Fabia hatch price rite. One of the reasons compelling me to make that statement is the very fact that they are getting in a 3 cylinder engine and not a 4 cylinder which would be quite fuel efficient and should cost less.

At the end of it a hatch segment in India has always been a numbers game. Of course dont include the BMW mini in this category.

How else would you explain Hyundai revamping its Getz to Getz Prima bcos of fall in sales. Some of the figures I read on a website were

Monthly sales of Getz are believed to have fallen to just a few hundred units from over 1,000 units a month while the Swift sells between 4,000-5,000 units every month
Hence I seriously feel Skoda or for that matter any other player such as Honda, Nissan, Toyota would try to get the prize right when it comes to the B+ segment
