Too bug-eyed. Styling-wise, European hatchbacks/coupe is getting better & better, what's wrong with the Japanese?

The spy photos of the model testing in India appears to have roll-down windows (with small fixed rear quarter windows). I guess this means that the Alto for markets with warm climate will most likely get the version with roll-down windows. ------------------------------------------------------------ So the Aygo's pop out and roll down, for sure? didnt kno dat AM2 said,

Warm climate markets might get the version with rear roll-down windows. Here's an old spy photo posted a few months ago... http://images.paultan.org/images2/Production_Suzuki_A-Star_2.jpg If you notice, the rear window is not flush like the Euro model, and it has a small fixed quarter glass panel (which allows the window to roll down the door and clear the wheel arch) lowprofile, I think the version with flush rear windows that pop open is for Europe.

It is usually for three door vehicles. I suppose Suzi plans a three door version which will subsequently use this part.
