Hi all,
Just got the news buzz that Ford is going to formally announce the launch of its small car "SPLASH" on 23rd September.
While it will not be a vehicle launch, the media has been called in formally as FORD plans to give out details of the car in terms of Specs/Features, price indication and actual timeline for vehicle launch.

I immediately spoke to a freind in the media and he confirmed having received the info from FORD.

Current details available:
Name: SPLASH (this is the reason why MSIL had to call its Splash as Ritz in India)
Engine: 1.2L
Price range: approx 3.0 ~ 4.5 Lakhs

Sources inform that Ford plans to target this vehicle as a mass seller and the base variant will not have AC or power steering (similar to the M800 strategy)

They say the car will have headlmaps similar to Ikon and body structure resembles the Fusion.
An interesting entry at that price I guess

Will keep updated as I get more info.
