Thats the marketting gimmick by hyundai..they always do this.
Earlier they had an ad saying that owners of Hyundai had computers..it cannto be more CHEAP than that. Only HYUNDAI can do that.. LOL
Coming to point, ERLX is nothing but mapping a 32bit processor instead of existing 16 bit to sam...e old engine..
The funny thing is that so called educated owners of Hyundai cars does not even know that. They believe HYUNDAI..a KOREAN COMPANY.

The problem with Palio is that, all expects it to give a mileage of Maruti 800. But Palio is 500 kgs heavier than M800.
Its also heavier becos of safety features to it.
But let me say, I can prove also..that Palio gives a mileage of 16kmpl in highways which I think is too good for such a safe ...car.
Also, Palio & Santro are in two different class. Palio is a PREMIUM hatchback where as SANTRO IS JUST A HATCHBACK.
This Erlx thing of Santro is nothing but 32bit processor which palio had right from 2001 when it was launched.
Please compare Palio to GETZ & SWIFT. Also same wrt mileage.
A PALIO CAN NEVER GIVE M800 mileage.Read More

Oh god..still people buy this Zen..and that too at some thing around 4.2 lacs..

There are hell lot of cars much much better than Zen..by the same money you could have bought a palio1.2nv, wagon R or eve...n an ugly santro!
These cars are much better value for money?
Sorry pal.it is a terrible wrong decision..Read More

This so called Santro eRLX..offers you the engine technology..which Palio had from way back 2001.
I suggest to buy a Palio 1.2ELX NV..its price is reduced by 22K now..& FIAT has started putting more sales..& more models are in the offing..
Palio offers a C class comfort at B class price..
I...t has a decent mileage..too..12kmpl in City & 15-16kmpl on highways..its better looking than Santro & Swift.
If you have some extra bucks..buy a Palio 1.6Sport..its got 100BHP..its relaunched to take on SWIFT & GETZRead More

FIAT Cuts Palio price by 22K
In a bid to drive back demand for its once-popular compact car, Fiat India on Thursday announced an up to Rs 22,000 cut in Palio’s price tag.
With this, the base model of Palio has been priced at Rs 3.64 lakh, making it about Rs 30,000 cheaper than the ent...ry-level Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Paolo Castagna, the newly-appointed MD of Fiat India, said: 'In order to counter competition posed by Swift and Getz, Fiat has slashed the price of Palio 1.25 ELX (deluxe model) by Rs 22,000, from 4.37 lakh to 4.15 lakh.'
The price tags of its entry-level 1.2 NV EL and EL-Power steering models have been cut by Rs 15,000 priced to Rs 3.64 lakh and Rs 3.92 lakh respectively.
Observers said the price cut is a clear message from the new managemen that Fiat would be facing competition head-on rather than being passive to industry trends.
The move will also infuse a fresh lease of life into the beleaguered local arm of the Italian car manufacturer which has been struggling to cope with its industry peers.

Go for Palio..its the best compact car around..today FIAT has reduced 22000rs on Palio. Even it looks way better than SWIFT..which looks like a lady with a fat belly!!
If some one says that FIAT is going to close down..thrash them with am big Chooral...they are bluffing.

When I saw SWIFT yesterday...I felt it like a PYRAMID moving on the road.
It was not worth to wait a long to see SWIFT..

Well it was a DEMO car..the color was that of the Palios (orange:)
I personally feel, it doesnt have that road presence as a Palio or Getz.

If it happens then I think Swift is gonna be like Getz.
Getz sold 1500 cars in first month..then its not moving out of showrooms. U guys remember how much money HYUNDAI pumped for advts..all waste now..
I think Indian car market has become matured now..just marketing and hi-fi ads not going t...o push the vooume..we need a value for money car in latest technology..& not just old wine in new bottle.
I think still Palio leads in sales among premium hatchbacks like SAIL, GETZ & FUSION..even though nobody knows with whom FIAT is going to have alliance (TATA or HINDUJA or ICICI venture)Read More
