Looks really beautiful. Why cant hyundai launch this one in India? Its better to start a segment rather then always think about responding to the challenge. I guess Hyundai is loosing on that one.

Bassam the i20 is a global car and i am sure Hyundai will be launching it worldwide, including the US. Hyundai should be offering ABS and Airbags on the atleast one variant of the i20.
