Not so surprisingly (due to the soon arrival A-Star and Splash) the exhange was only for either Altos or WagonRs. The exchange offer didn't even include regular Maruti 800's/Zens/Swift. Just the two stated cars. It seems Maruti Suzuki is trying really hard to get rid of the Alto and WagonRs they have stockpiled.

One thing got me wondering though. This offer is only valid until the end of July. Does that mean that theres a chance that the A-Star/Splash will be introduced to the Indian Market by August?
Well I too went to the local Maruti showroom today, upon being asked about the A-star and the Splash, I was told that only the Wagon-r would be replaced and not the Alto. The A-star would be a notch above the Alto. Also the launch is being planned around october. Also they sales guy told me that Maruti is contemplating reducing the production of the SX4 by good amount and increase the same for the Dzire.
