I think I am getting more than expected, as Active varient does not come with all these, and then I am getting mud flaps, floor mats, sun films. Np I have not done any comparison with Prerna as KHT is very near to my house.

All this while i had been HOOKED by FIATs (since Palio's launch, Oct 2001).

Finally BOOKED the hot, young and white Italian chick - PUNTO MJD 75, yesterday. :Cheering:

Hi Mi10, welcome to the most loved and raved Fiesta 1.6S Club!!
Whatever your needs and whatever your budget, this amazing car will blow your brains out with its power and handling.
Quite a few guys here with the 1.6S, I think you will be the first with a Paprika Red. The color is fiery and looks amazing.
I wanted a Paprika red too but the waiting for me was 45 days. Too long for my needs, so went in for the Sea Grey, which also rocks BTW!!
Cheers buddy.. good times will roll soon for you!!

Thanks, dude. Infact my dealer was having a Black and Sea Grey S, but i dont mind waiting for 45 days for the color i want. The long wait starts. :)

I am also leaning towards the Vento HL Diesel (after toying with the idea of an AT). Did you get a TD?
White looks classically beautiful. I will probably get the Terra Beige though.

Congratulations Mohandas.
Regarding this Elite package - is it specific to the dealer in HYD?
Apart from the 3 you mentioned as excluded, I think that Rear Split Seats, MFD, Rear 2 power windows, Rear Defogger, Rear Washer and Wiper, Remote central lock also excluded. Did you opt for the HL music system, Fog lamps, alloy wheels?

Sorry, I asked you so many questions, but wanted to know about this elite package :)

After 6 years with my trusty diesel Scorpio, back to a petrol car. Been in the market for some time trying to see how I could get the BMW 320 on corporate lease, Saw the Polo 1.6 delivery threads, walked into the showroom on Sunday, test drove the 1.2, checked on delivery status of 1.6, got the confirmation of immediate delivery the next day, and booked today (tuesday).

Prior cars owned
2004 Scorpio 2.6DX Diesel
1998 Zen
2002 BMW 325I
2000 Volkswagen Jetta (Wife)
1997 Mazda Protege

Guys, any idea on whats going on with bookings that were made for Palio Stile 2010 under the Dhamaka offer?

Last I came to know was, 46 cars would be delivered in September and rest in October time frame subject to parts availibility.

Do anyone know if they are part of the 46 lucky ones?
