I reckon with many of the tbhpians who have put down there views...

Ikon can re workits magic with the following:...

New Diesel heart as per the Autocar....
New Dash board and some add on's like Aveo's style speedo/tacho's...( like teh racing kinds)Digital trip meter/ inside-outside temperature.
Better qlty of plastics than current( though the current is better than Indigo's ...)
Retian the same sports streeing + add tilt /adjustable streeing
Seating is cool but can bring in height adjust...
The exterior door gaurd plastic can be trimed to thoise like on Fiesta /Mondeo
Sure thing needed is upgarde on the tail lamp to clear/jewel type...
Also is new look head lights.....
Must do is re visit suspension / brakes and 14" or 15" a must... from 13" Flair.
Door handles can be made like fiesta or swift kinds....
Retain the gr8 fog lamps style....with the front grilll....
Can do some cosmetics like chrome strips likes of fiesta...
Add some features like remote boot release, parking sensors, rear defogger( to have variants( for fabia or swift zxi...)
Retain the best in class a/c with current flair it rocks...
utility portion btw driver and co passenger to be improved as with new dash board
New wiper style( Logan/fiesta) and twin sparys for windscreen
light in glove box
change in postion of current hazzard lights... to center dash board console...
the bumpers can be made more into the body and thus appeal to be more integrated...

Finally atleast some of the above listed vital point can make a winner and re invent Ikon flair's pedigree...

Remember its one thos 1st rally style sporty sedan which still has its unique style compared in the segment...
