Ignis is not a brand name being used by them. Just a spec level. Suzuki uses Ignis as a brandname. Hence no conflict.

Ignis in Latin implies Fire. Same as Terra = Earth, Aqua = Water and Aura = Air.

Interestingly there's still scope for the fifth element "Space" . Could another variant be in the works? Say a 2L 150bhp sports version - that runs all over the "Space"?

AFAIK its a fact and thats what i got from the dealer.
If the delay is not considerable we can then consider the Tata-Fiat system a hit formula for JVs, or does all JVs work in the same lines?

Now that they are launching a new engine in the car, how about a new hot shade to compliment the ferrari red that they have.

More than the color, look at the alloys. They are smoking hot!

I like the Vista in the yellow shade, but in Kolkata where I live, if one just add's a black strip across the car, it'll exactly look like a Taxi.

The wheels are hot.

Guys, the car looks great in Yellow. I liked that color.

The Alloys look good too.

The other interesting thing to note is the Panel Gaps looks to have reduced or is it just a visual impression that I am having.

This is the snap of an display model. This was overseas, expect better fit and finish to the car and also better quality interiors.
