Regarding Honda Jazz at first the launch was supposed to be last quarter of '08. But sometime back they had said they have plans to launch it in Late 2009

. Too confused!!

Here is the Link regarding late 2009 launch:

so ram, the car has moved from concept stage to 'to be produced' stage. My gut feel says, splash could be a replacement for Wagon R and A-Star would be like a premium vehicle priced around or slightly more than Swift. Hope it comes in diesel as well then we have a hot hatch inside out.

Splash will not replace Wagon R (which is still doing good numbers) it wil rival the i10 and hence will sell at a premium when compared to Wagon R. A-star is a different story alltogether, they still have to figure out where to place it in their product portfolio. Btw if i remember they had an order of 50000 splashes from Nissan have they started dispatching against that order.

If its going to be launched by Oct'08, my 1st car could very well be the A-Star

Has anyone noticed how the waist line goes up near the C pillar and narrows the rear window? If Suzuki retain this design then the car would be pretty claustrophobic inside wouldnt it? I wonder how many chauffer driven owners would be comfortable with that?

srishiva · 17th March 2008, 16:19

Most hatchbacks now a days dont care for the rear passenger. But that would be fine for a two door. Looks pretty claustrophobic.

By the way, thats (1st picture) got to be the best model I have seen besides a car !

Fountainheader · 17th March 2008, 16:31

The A-Star does look great! I just hope the company gives a color option instead of the girly pink

It'll feel terrible sitting in that rear seat. Like the world has closed up on you or something
