Maruti 800 is the 'mallu' car, no doubt, I had seen all Kerala family aspiring to have one 800 car. It was a status symbol till recently in Kerala, till the advent of foreign cars and people started shifting to mid-segment cars. But still a drive on the road's will fascinate you at the number of Maruti 800's you could count.
While talking about the Tata's new 1 lakh car I commented to my friend that this will be the new big thing in Kerala,which is know for the high consumerism, but as my friend told me gone were those days, when a Mallu dream was all about a Maruti 800, now no one thinks below a Santro. Mallu's are too status oriented, they will say "you can't even buy a Santro,Phooo, better suicide"(ya, Mallu's may do also,they just need a reason to suicide)
But ya, it may help the lower income group to make the dream come true of having a car. I just can't imagine our plumber Das ettan coming in new Tata nano to repair the motor.
