I was wondering,

1. Will the Duo be available in the VXi  and VXi ABS versions too?

1. Will the Duo be available in the VXi  and VXi ABS versions too?
2. Does Maruti have any plans of reintroducing the AX again?

 

1. Duo is available in LXi Trim only & that's too w/o ABS Brakes, but I think MSIL have managed to comply that Old 1.1l F10D engine to meet BS-IV norms.

 

2. May be Some work is going on it, but most probably possible after the A-Star Automatic launch.

According to The Hitavada, a Nagpur newspaper report dated 20/08/2010,

Maruti (MSIL) intends to construct a huge stockyard at Butibori

Industrial Estate, about 30 kms away from Nagpur for speedy delivery of

cars to their respective destinations.Senior officials from MSIL had

visited the area on 18/08/2010 and have finalised acquisition of about

100 acres of land. The stockyard will accommodate about 25,000 vehicles

and according to MSIL, this can ensure speedier deliveries of specific

models, variants and colours, as customers are seen switching over to

other brands seeing the longer waiting time for some Maruti models.

The company is also planning to invest Rs 200 crores to construct

similar stockyards in the North, South, East and West, apart from this

one in Central India.Bangalore has been earmarked in the South with an

area of 25 acres of land for a stockyard.
