The specs given at the auto-show said that it would have a 1 liter all-aluminum petrol engine that meets EuroV specs. If so that would be terrific.
It would be totally pathetic if they released with the Wagon R/Alto engine and gearbox.  Having said that, if they do, there will still be losers queuing up to buy it. |
Aarggh! You are getting it wrong out here. The very simple reason that the Alto/800/WagonR have been clocking terrific sales figures is .. because they are tremendously VFM. At the end of the day, India is still a land of the middle-class. And I dont see anything wrong with MSIL relaunching the Alto engine in a new package. People do look out for change, and if there is the same wine in a new bottle, for a regular alcoholic, it doesnt make too much of a difference.
And for all the "Non-Losers", dont we have options ranging from the 1.3 Swift to the 6-liter Rolls Royce ?
