Ritz is the new name of Splash.
It is going to be launched in April 2009.
MSIL is ready with the car and production is in full swing.
There may be total 6 variants—3 in petrol 1.2 L KB series engine, and 3 in Diesel 1.3L SDE (same as Swift diesel engine)

Price would be top end Diesel 5.3 Lacs, top end petrol-4 Lacs

Splash seems to challange both I10 and I20 once launched with the specifications mentioned here. Maruti need to lauch it at the earliest .

It will be a better deal if this car is priced within the Wagon R range seeing to the new cars being launched aggressively and priced competitively

I have been waiting for this car for so long, my eyes are now closing.
Regarding the styling, after the M800s, Maruti have got away with visually horrific cars. They have succeeded only because of a single selling point in any given model – like the new engine in the A-star, high seating position in the Wagon-R, etc..
So a particular model may have one feature which you like but none has a good combination of everything.

This is where the Hyundai i10 scores heavily. And if you see the i20, you will be lured away from Maruti for good.

And I do agree with many of the comments that:

1) The rear needs to be rounded out (not in) just like Hyundai did when they moved from Santro to Zing. The shape of a car’s front and rear need to match. And the overall look has to be pelasing. The new Tata Vista is a good example.

2) The ‘boomerang’ tail lights are visually revolting. They make one dislike the car. One gets the feeling that Mariti is trying to save some sheet metal.

3) The rear seat needs to have a 60:40 split. (I know a guy who bought the Spark for this reason alone even though he knew that GM was heading for bankruptcy).

4) The rear seats need to be high and with the edge as close as possible to the outer skin, without compromising safety. This is what the elders in the family want for them to easily get in and out. Estillo has this feature but even the Swift doesn’t. The extra width of the swift above the rear wheel is wasted in providing a thick door and a narrow rear seat deep inside the body.

5) The gear box will have to be much better than in the Wagon R. The present one (in the Wagon-R and Estillo) is like stirring a pot of halwa and hoping the engine will fall into gear somehow by luck.
