i20 and the craze

Why do I write about the Hyundai i20 even though it is yet to see the light of day in India? Well, for one, it is touted to be most awaited car after the Suzuki A Star to grace our lands this year. Even more convincing than that arguement is the fact that the Hyundai i20 has been searched and googled like never before. Everyone wants to find out a little bit more about this B Segment killer that is on the anvil from the Korean Manufacturer.

Keeping with the 'i' generation, Hyundai is extending its range from the i10 to the i20. There is an i30 also available in international markets but that has no plans for India at the moment. For most of us who have seen the i20, either at the Paris Motor Show, or in pictures splashed all over the internet, you can't help but think that the i20 looks like an evolved Getz. I personally feel that the i20 is Hyundai's answer for a Getz replacement in international markets, but in India they will keep both brands alive, afterall, why kill off a good thing right?

Anyways, the i20 is in the limelight, and its touted to come with several engine options as well as a neat styling package. Personally, I feel that the i20 is destined to be a winner, provided that the price is right.
