I wouldn't say allergy, but the kind of state it was in a few years back, isn't very confident inspiring as people buy cars for long term and want the companies to be around. Of course the fact that it drinks like any thing (or at least it used to), never stuck the right cord with majority of mileage minded junta.

FIAT is already serving more than half of the most fuel efficient engines (Diesel) in the country. Namely Maruti Swift/Indica Vista/Dzire/New Indigo Vista/Palio/Linea etc. All powered by Fiat Multijet 1.3, few more expected are SX4/Chevy Aveo/Spark etc.
So cannot be blamed for bad fuel economy atleast.
However their major concern was servicing issues, even that has been taken care of (strictly comparatively) after tie up with TATA.

true, i20 engine upgrade and the new swift round the corner should do the trick.it's nice to see that the customers have many options now.
