It looks Grown up, and like a baby Civic.
Nice Colour too. Hope it's on Indian roads ASAP.

Enjoy!

Mash: Awesome cool find! Thanks for sharing!

This is really a baby Civic! Toyota brings in Altis that looks like Baby Camry. Now, Honda does the same to get new City as Baby Civic. Way to go!

I hope these babies do not cost the same as their parents

This car has potential to trouble a wide range of car buyers. I am sure Honda will overprice it, but this should still, sell. I was pretty sure I'd wait for Fiat Linea. But if they launch this car soon enough, it might be tough to wait for Linea (assuming this launches earlier)

I remember the times when SX4 was launched and Maruti published letters in all leading news papers apologizing for the delay, and how buyers from other segments too had chosen SX4. I am sure if the top end of the car is loaded with features, people will not hesitate to choose this over the lower end variants of Civic / Corolla / Optra.

The only way for competitors to survive would be to bring in their diesels *and* price them competitively. I am sure Maruti need to work on plonking the MJD into SX4 with a VGT and make a 90 BHP SX4 DDiS. (I would do that if I were the boss of Maruti - I also know that they are having troubles completing their existing Dzire and Swift DDiS orders)

I didn't expect Q4 of 2008 to be this hot in auto market!
