The mid-sized sedan, Fiat Linea, from Fiat India Private Limited, slated for launch in September may be delayed. According to Fiat's spokesperson, the company had planned its launch for September – December and it is looking at the right time to launch its model in India.
There are too many cars scheduled for a launch in September which might is one of the reasons that the company thinks it wiser to delay the launch a little bit. It aims to gain maximum customer attention when its new model is launched in India.
Other major companies like General Motors, Toyota, Ford and Honda shall be launching their new models in India this month which marks the beginning of the festive mood in the country. “We are industrially ready to launch the vehicle in September. However, too many launches in the same month has prompted us to rethink,” said the Fiat spokesperson.
Fiat also plans to delay the launch Grand Punto which was slated for launch in December. Now it shall be launched in early 2009. It has already made 30 bookings for its model Fiat 500. It has sold 10 units so far and the next 20 shall be available in 15 days.
