Agreed.

No way anyone besides Maruti can fleece customers like us of a premium of 30-40k, I doubt Fiat will make the grave mistake of pricing above Swift VDi.

Sir I guess to a large extent you mean MSIL.

VXI + ABS was never really an issue and I remember being alloted a car in under a fortnight. Its only with the diesel production line that Maruti faltered.

Also dont you think if 50% of the consumers put pressure on the manufacturers then they would feel the heat and introduce it?

More than once I have been questioned and ridiculed regarding the premium for an ABS kit.

If the manufacturer does provide it for 20k then why not go for it? I see a lot of people opting out of it given the choice to save the $ and I dont blame them. Just saying.

It is one of the reasons I turned down the Getz-CRDi even after being given a preferential allotment.

Guess we are way O/T
