Autoblog reports that Suzuki will be unveiling it’s A Star concept car in India. Although most concept car’s never see the light of day, Japanese companies design their cars based on utility and market forcasting, unlike most other big car makers who want to show off their technical prowess.
Given this, The A Star concept will find it’s way into a production car soon. Why New Delhi? Autoblog says
Well, local interests, of course. The production version of the car, likely the new Alto according to World Car Fans, will be built in India at Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant beginning in October 2008. It will be sold globally (read: Europe, India and other non-US markets), and Suzuki plans to keep the vehicle’s price low.
With India’s car industry booming, the “cheap” labour costs are attracting major car companies, but it looks like Suzuki has them beat, at least until Tata releases their ‘cheaper than tuk-tuk‘ car.
