State of things in Chennai - my experience.

No dealer really committed to giving an exact delivery date if my date of booking is today/tomorrow. However, want booking money.
Infact, Petrol Dzire ZXI, is claimed to have highest amount of waiting period - anywhere between 4-6 weeks to more than 2 months.
No one is ready to give stock of exact availability or colors coming in their next lot.
Test Drives are still tough to get.
No one (except for ABT) supposedly has the entire range of colors across the various variants, i.e, given 7 colors that have been released none of them have all the colors in the showroom+yard.
Some of them don't even have a TD car yet in their showroom, of course - expected in a day or two.

Any waiting period beyond 2/3 weeks is a sad state of demand/supply balance. Infact, one may drive away customers with the kind of crap dealers are handing out at times.

Still, Maruti is king !
