As a matter of fact, it is much longer than the outgoing (??) indigo.
The current indigo measures 4220mm
Indigo CS: 3988mm (-232mm)
Indigo XL: 4377mm (+157mm)

Manza at approx. 4500mm (+280mm) (according to sidindica) is even longer than the indigo xl!!!!

Lets see how reliable is sidindica's info of Manza being 4500mm long. It sure does appear to be this big.

I am thoroughly satisfied with the Manza specs - given the price that people are talking about. I think the Tata lineage will help it to gain the momentum in the market. Quite rightly said by a few, tata gets better with every launch in the premium segment... and no messing guys.. its our very own ! So I got some heart into it as an Indian

... By the way... I played the Spot the Manza at their teaser site and its not as simple as it sounds ... go for it !!! Manza - Look forward to a new level of indulgence

Yup Dzire still has long waiting periods. What might go in favour of Manza is more powerful engine( Linea's powertrain) and better room against Dzire.

Guess we should thank Fiat for that

Training will be on 11th and 12th here, will try to get some concrete info then.

.......Awesome. Perfect for Diwali actually. Its got some competition from SX4 also. Any thoughts about how the SX4 launch might affect Manza's ?

The entire car has lost the cuteness of the Vista.
The 'Logan'ish rear is not a good head turner, IMO.
Why can't Tata go for a decent looking rear lamp? The tall and uninspiring rear lamps makes their cars look weird - be it Nano, Indica, Vista, Indigo, Sumo or this Manza.

Is it just me or others also feel that Tata is benefiting more from the partnership then fiat?

Add to it cars like Ritz,Wagon R, A-star,Xylo etc.
Seems designers get lost when it comes to designing rear and put all the efforts in designing the front.

I tend to agree with you. But if you look at it from an individuality perspetive, every brand has its signature. I amnot sure but this might be one of the aspects to the tall rear lamps.

This still might be a pre-production vehicle! I am just trying to think of possibilities that its not an Indigo. Also they never used the word Indigo in the website.

I do not think this is true. There are a variety of reasons. I will try and list the main one.

After the launch of Indica, Tata had managed to start an R&D centre in UK (totally unrelated to JLR). They started working on the Tata Xenon onwards. The advantage that Tata got was getting talent from the mecca of the automobile industry.

Also a lot of effort was put in Pune towards better designs. But all this takes time. This is not IT after all!

Edit: Oops! Sorry for the double post. Can someone integrate them.

AyAn! · 9th October 2009, 22:05

Hmm.Looks good enough,but a bit rear heavy!

Manza actually has similar legroom to Indigo xL and hence the massive wheelbase...

I wonder how an estate(marina?) version would look like? A more pleasant backside perhaps.
