Additionally, if someone was looking for a decently powered diesel hatch with all safety features such as ABS and Airbags, Grande Punto will be the only hatch as of now. So, it is bound to sell.
[Edit:] Missed the Skoda Fabia, though a little costly and underpowered.

Well, Ritz will be here on May 15th!

Sid, you gave a hope to Palio users and prospective Palio buyers :)

I hope Palio relaunches now with new interiors and with price cuts so both GP and Palio are placed in decent gap.

I'm anxiously waiting for your post on GP launch along with its exact price and tech specs!

I am also waiting eagerly for the updates from you Sidgo.

:OT It was said by FIAT CEO that Palio would have its interior and exterior upgrades by the end of 2009. If they can upgrade the engine along with that to the newly launched 1.0 FIRE with 73 bhp, Palio will have some more buyers.

How do you know that?
Actually, going by the Linea sales, the opposite may happen!

Because Ritz is in the volume segment and GP is in the premium segment. :)

In that case, we should not even compare these two. It is not a fair comparison. As many of us have suggested, the hatches that should be compared are i20, Jazz, GP, Fusion (if Ford does not discontinue it in a hurry), Polo, Fabia.

In that case, I probably had misunderstood your post. Please accept my apologies and let us move on with the discussion.

Maybe Sid is enjoying the GP too much right now to care for a write up here.:)
