Until we see what happens at the Autoexpo all of this are mere expectations.
Hence, I am not sure if it is ok to question the need for this thread. ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
Viswesh,
Sir, my intent was not to question the need for the thread. It was only to do with the title of it [kindly read my previous post again]. It's to do with the baseless expectations that we can find in the thread.
When Fiat chief had categorically denied any launch of 1.6 on the Linea soon [available elsewhere in this forum from CEO of Fiat India, Rajeev Kapoor himself via a face-to-face interview], do you think it's any value to continue expecting and speculating on it?
The 1.4 T-jet is not an expectation or speculation, it's confirmed for launch in India. You can counter that and still doubt it, but you can put it to rest yourself when Fiat launches it sometime soon.
That is all. Quote:

Shantyrocks, you're right and I'm wrong. I stand corrected for the mistake in reproducing the content from AutoCar India. Gearbox issue it is. Thanks for correcting. Note from Mod : In light of the 1.4 T-Jet being nearly confirmed for India, and no reliable news on the 1.6 diesel, this thread is being closed. Hopefully temporarily!
