Just read a news piece which claims that Hyundai has booked more than 10,000 units of the new Creta, way before it's launch as well, what do you guys have to say about this? Also, will this cut down on the waiting period on the Kia Seltos?

I think you were very much right over here @highwaywarrior, according to my source at a dealership, most of the bookings have been for the top-end variants with the panoramic sunroof!
