Finally my dad and i have finalized the car . Its Hyundai i10 Sportz AT. My dad just placed the order a day ago. Thats going to be his first car . I am happy for him.

I personally liked Blushing Red , but dad wanted Electric Red. As he is the one who would be driving it , i had to agree on the color :( But i really hope and wish that Electric Red looks good.

I will update you guys with further details once we get the car.

Hi BHPians,

I need your suggestion on purchasing my Four Wheeler. Its a tough Choice for me.

I'm planning to buy a Four Wheeler by FEB 2010 end. I have 2 four wheelers of choice in different category, but gonna buy ONE.
1) Mahindra Scorpio VLX 2WD
2) Chevy Cruze LTZ

I have been reading this forum for last 6 months on both of these Vehicles and its a very tough choice. Its for a family of 3 only......

Please suggest........

Congratulations Shreeps. SX4 is a great car and French Eclair is a nice new color introduced on it. Great Maruti VFM with SX4 muscle-power.

(As i have asked for a 2010 model, though it would make sense to wait for a little more time and get the '10 model on the RC book)
Dealer & City : Bimal, Whitefield, Bangalore
Freebies : NIL
Others : Extended Waranty

Damn the Delivery date is yet postponed to another month of wait just for the 2010 model..

Have a question, when do they actually start delivering the 2010 models? any idea?
