I hope that the price will be around 8-9lakh and coupled with the space inside, this is the one of the top contenders. Petrol options will be the present 1.6 from Palio. I have read reviews about the car and the rear ride quality and handling not upto the real fiat marks ( just read a review ).
During Auto expo chat the FIAT guys mentioned that the initial Linea would launch with 1.3 MJD 75BHP, 90 BHP and 1.4 petrol engines in June-July. Recently inquired again about 1.9 Linea launch and understood that the Linea launch date could be around last quarter and the 1.9 may launch a year later.
