No harm in making a booking for the Hyryder. If the price, when announced, is beyond your budget, you can either switch to the normal Urban Cruiser or find another alternative. It's always a good thing to go for a fresh design and have a hybrid car, albeit mild, in the face of rising fuel prices. If your father is insistent on a diesel vehicle, you could consider the Sonet, City or Creta as already mentioned by our fellow BHPians.
