Dear Readers At INR 851,000 the new Swift 4X4 may well be out of reach for the middle class buyer ?????????? Where does that leave us. With competition crossing it and present model a bit dated , I hope Maruti does NOT use its time tested strategy of price cut [aka DZire cut by INR40,000] better would be if the made the car upgraded, engine, suspension, brakes & AC, stronger steel bumpers and also reduced the waiting time. Customers who are booked for ETIOS may be wooed away from waiting for Toyota Sedan upto October 2011. Is Maruti listenning ??? I hope so. Best Wishes Colonel KJS Sandhu
