I doubt you can say goodbye to Honda & Maruti. Honda is not launching diesel in City because its quite happy selling Petrol version. Ford has to improve its ***. Ikon and Fiesta are both great cars. But Ford still has some homework to do. Fiesta should get the 1.6 l diesel soon.
Yes it really needs to improve upon After Sales and Service (A.S & S ).
And Fiesta will die soon if not given 1.6 diesel.

This is a 2004 Discussion and article guys.
Ford has launched the Fiesta which slots between the mondeo and Ikon
I have read in more than one magazine that the focus will be coming in 2008.
Although the talk is going on since more than half a decade since the inception of Focus ( which replaced Escort and Britain was not happy about it ), but now due to instant success of Civic, Ford is/might be looking forward to the launch. Foucs is really a very fun to drive car with an excellent chassis. It can certainly make a dent in Civic, Corolla and Octavia ( A4 ) segment with proper positioning ( read price ) and samrt powerplant choise( read great ford diesels ).
