Most expected car of 2008?

agbenny · 18th December 2008, 11:12

Few more days to go, I am not sure if we have any new car to be launched within this year? (Like Linea)
I expected Mahindra Scorpio mHawk, Swift deZire and New gen Honda city or the mostly expected cars and exciting car for this year. mHawk was the one discussed one much in team-bhp too, But what are the cars you expected most, and which cars made you really excited.

Did any of the new cars launched this year replaced your previous favorite car?

Throw your views.

i was waiting for the scorpio mHawk since 2007 and bought one in may 2008!
the other car i was expectiong was the XYLO, sadly its launch has been postponed from mid december to 13 jan, 2009.
apart from the xylo, i am anxiously waiting for the linea to see the response it gets as i have read its a fantastic car. will india forgive FIAT and give a warm welcome to its new innings?

Fiat Linea has caused quite a lot of expectations!

isldhn · 18th December 2008, 11:55

Going by what all threads at some time or the other lead to, Fiat Linea should easily take the cake. Will be followed by i20 i guess.

kalpeshc · 18th December 2008, 12:11

Overall, i feel that the most exciting launch (if we can call it that) would be that of the Nano!

arindambasu13 · 18th December 2008, 12:23

The Honda Jazz was one car i was eagerly waiting for. Also the Skoda Fabia.

pawan_pullarwar · 18th December 2008, 12:37

I was expecting Punto for myself. But it was postpond :( .. Though I am ready to wait.

sudhi_des · 18th December 2008, 13:22

I was expecting Punto but when i heared that it will follow after Linea. Then Linea became first in my expected list.

arindambasu13 · 18th December 2008, 13:32

oh yes the grande punto..with possibly the abarth trim..drool drool!

Tejas@perioimpl · 18th December 2008, 13:42

I'm waiting for the linea, new BMW 3 series and the passat cc to be launched. Even the face-lifted innova is due. All these were due to be launched in december. Now i guess it will be first quarter 2009.

Car-Agey · 18th December 2008, 13:46

The most expected or awaited car of 2008 should surely be TATA NANO. No other car caught the attention of the whole world as the NANO did.

Sad it is delayed.

neoonwheels · 18th December 2008, 13:52

For me its FIAT Linea and FIAT Punto !!!

amit27 · 18th December 2008, 14:05

Most Expected and non launched car : Fiat Linea

Most Expected : Nano not just in India but globally also

narayan · 18th December 2008, 14:22

I await the launch of the new LANCER based on the EVO X - especially the diesel version

thiyags22 · 18th December 2008, 14:30

I was eagarly awaiting the Fabia and the price was a shock!!!

Now it is the i20.
