I have booked swift vxi with ABS on 5th sep 2010. I was told by the dealer that the waiting period will be 2 1/2 months or so. But I was not given any priority number/wait list number with tentative delivery period by the dealer or Maruti. After lot of confusion between ritz and swift I have gone in for swift. I hope its worth the wait as no other car in the segment matches swift. I have concluded after extensive research.
