Maruti Suzuki’s big day of recent times is just a day away
and guess what? the new Alto 800 has already received 6500 bookings. Maruti
Suzuki opened bookings for the car just 15 days back through its teaser website
www.marutisuzukialto800.com.
The teaser website has received over 3,50,000 hits already. The new Alto 800
has arrived the dealerships in Bangalore. Mandovi Motors has already displayed
the covered car with some balloons sticked on it.
Mr.
Mayank Pareek, Chief Operating Officer, Maruti Suzuki India - "Despite
the price remaining unknown to customers, who have not seen the car fully, we
have received 6,500 bookings of the new Alto. At this rate, we are confident
that it will cross 10,000 when we launch the car on October 16”.
The new Alto 800 though not as
pretty as the Nano, will sell in good numbers and Maruti wants it to start from
where the old Alto left. In September, Alto sold over 30,000/- units and with
the new model Maruti wants to increase the sales numbers still further. With
the new engine dynamics, better fuel efficiency and new interiors, the Alto 800
is definitely better than the old model, but as we have been saying for some
time, Maruti could have designed the new model much better!
