India's largest selling car for 16 years and counting, Maruti Alto has become the first car brand to top cumulative 4 million unit sales in the domestic market. The success of the car in the last few years makes it easy to forget its slow start in the beginning. Alto became the best-selling car in India in 2004-05, when it overtook the erstwhile leader Maruti 800.
