Don't get fooled by the looks ..... ! When you ride on Indian roads, all of
them will behave like true blue boats, right side up, swaying this way and
that, --- like my Baleno does, --- on Bangalore roads !

If by C-segment you mean entry level three box car then, Tata Indigo/Marina sells more than almost any other car in C-Segment. The only car which sells more than tata in that segment is NHC.

I meant 5 lakh+ price,

anyways, i always confuse with indian's segmentation.
it's very differrent from international segmentation.

I am a bit suspicious about the picture. I have seen it on the print edition and it appears blurred. They just have one picture and that of very poor resolution..

I really wonder where Autocar got the picture from. Cant be a spy pic of a test car, because the car isnt masked at all.

Isn't it strange to Maruti provide a car to be Scoop photographed with Suzuki badging prominently showing. If you look closely the bonnet/bumper looks concealed by something, giving the gaping panel gap.

Now Fiat/Tata had also made clear their intentions of a proper C segment car and Fiat Sedici in sedan form is the most near choice. Could this be a Fiat Sedici wearing Suzuki badge?

well the same thing was shown in wheelspin with credits given to autocar

Its nothing but a FWD Sedci sedan. I think ACI made their own conclusions (as they always do) about this being a Baleno replacement. Dont think Maruti provided anything.

A bit Fiesty at the back, and that oh-so-ugly front quarter glass. But, new wine preferred anyway to old whine in older bottle

Hmmm.. so they "borrowed" the pic from a website with giving any credit !! Looks like Autocar guys are googling a lot these days..

Aakhir dil hai hindustani.

Its not the first time I am seeing this kind of blunder. It usually happens with Indian mags. You can take pics/data from anywhere on net but you should give some courtesy note at least!

it looks good, except for the gap on the bonet.

but on the whole a very good moredn and sporty looking car..........sure shot hit

karthik247 · 14th September 2006, 21:34

The current Baleno is so much better than this in terms of looks. This is just insane!!!

grvanand · 14th September 2006, 21:53

It looks ok to me. If we can accept the shapes of old santro, NHC and Tata Indigo, this looks way better than all of them.
