Somebody tell the guy to go bang on his drums elsewhere. It's been twelve minutes and still no sign of the car.

Finally, after thirteen minutes, they reveal the Splash. Meanwhile the drummer is

while diesel buyers are still getting shafted with the non-availability of airbags and front seat pre-tensioners.

Awesome prices. Now I don't see the "hunch back" can hold ritz back from being successful.

joy_swift · 15th May 2009, 13:06

Really competitive prices with respect to the i-10.

Should have a better engine and be more spacious(what I feel from initial impressions).

Thanks for the info! The Ritz Vxi looks like good value to me!

romeomidhun · 15th May 2009, 13:21

Good pricing. Seems the price difference with Swift petrol is the tax benefit the 1.2 L engine enjoys. Going by that, the Lxi pricing could have been lower by another 5-7K.

The colour options could have been better. Seems dull in those green, red and brown colours.

Accelerator · 15th May 2009, 13:22

Nice prices.
I am off for a look, the car will be available after 2 pm in the showrooms today. I think the Swift and the i10 should well be under heat.

Fountainheader · 15th May 2009, 13:26

True. The Swift D is going to take a beating. Because of a fresher car.

But I now wonder the fate of the Swift ZXi. 35k more than the Ritz!!

There is a huge difference in Swift Zxi and Ritz Zxi pricing.
as i understand - this is because of lack of some of the features in Ritz which are there in Swift.
eg: Auto-Climate Control etc.
waiting to get my hands on a feature list.

eMGee · 15th May 2009, 14:06

Anyone got any info yet on the waiting period (if any) on the Ritz? Specifically the VDi model, as on Swift VDi it still seems to be 3 months in the NCR region.

How??
I10 kappa Sportz has these many things extra:
1) Tilt Steering
2) Rear Defogger
3) Rear Washer/Wiper
4) Parcel(Not too signicant i guess)
5) Rear Spoiler
6) Radio/CD/MP3 with four speakers (Which is of good quality)

Which makes Kappa Sportz much much more value for money right?
