Red face Wagon R - is the model changing????

I am planning to buy a Wagon R , actually i have already booked one.

My concern is, by the word of mouth i heard that they are doing some modification in Wagon R model like reducing its height and doing some changes in the front part.

I have checked on the internet but found nothing like that, whereever I searched abt new model of Wagon R, I got the LPG model

I just want to know from you "brainy" people have the heard such kind of thing or I can now sleep at nights because I have already booked Wagon R Lxi


Anything else you want me to tell about LXI will be much appreciated!!!

The Wagon R already got a face lift 2 years ago - so I doubt that any serious changes are in the offering. There are three types of changes that happen to any vehicle:

a) Change of heart, i.e., engine specs, gear box, transmission
b) Change of body, i.e., body shape/size, seating arrangements, etc.
c) Change of clothes, i.e., minor changes of styling, looks, etc.

All of the above cost money and unless there is a real need to do this it is not done. Normally major uplift is carried out after 5/6 years. (A) and (B) above are completely ruled out as far as Wagor R is concerned. So if you are sure of what you want just do it.

As far as i know from One of my friends working in Maruti Dealership, Maruti is going to Phase out WagonR within a year of Launch of Splash(Launching in around December 2008) or may be sooner. Splash will take place of Wagonr to compete Hyundai i10.Splash will be launched with 2 different engine variants of Petrol and diesel also. That might you have listened that wagonR is changing in loks or whatever.

Wagon R is the most best selling model in Indian Market. Its tall boy design gives personality to the customer.Hardly santro /i 10 gives the same. Maruti WagonR is a established brand and cannot be replaced by others.Since cocacola cannot stop selling coke, just like Maruti Suzuki cannot stops selling WagonR

It has been heard that Maruti is stopping the production of WagonR but i doubts why Maruti is taking such stupid step.

WagonR is the most successful model after M-800 & Alto. We have seen many WagonR on the roads. This model has all the looks, appeals what a maruti car's should have.

There is no change in the model but its slowly going to be phased out.. but when thats only Maruti knows.

With the advent of A-Star (which is not doing well, btw) and Ritz, MS may retire some older models.

But then again, the same was said about Esteem also. Yet it continues to be sold.

I don't drive it much. It has done 28K km only. When I go on longish drives, I borrow my bro-in-law's Honda City.

Also, I used to have an Esteem till 2007.
