Now this looks promising, and with their history of small 4x4s should be a decent drive too.

I'm not keen from that picture myself.

 

I always quite liked the idea of them especially the SWB. I thought it would be a good SWMBO car.

 

Hope the engines have improved, the mpg was always pretty poor on them as I recall.

I'd expect it to get the same 1.6 tdi as the SX4 which is excellent on fuel.

Hairdressers across the land rejoice!

 

I'm guessing Barbie Pink & Ken Blue colour options will be carried over.

I have always been quite a fan of Suzuki. I have a Jimny mainly for winter use and local hacking about. Its like my old defender except it doesn't leak like the Landy did.

Old fashioned but has both low and high range gearbox switchable 2 to 4 wheel drive.

Wouldn't be without one.

Looks very grown up. If priced well I'm sure they'll sell loads.

Suzuki have really sorted themselves out lately

They could lose one of the Alto and Splash, and I'm not sure why the old SX4 is still for sale, but they are certainly heading in the right direction.

Doubt they'll do away with the Alto, they sell stacks of them, I'd hazard a guess it's their biggest seller.

Not everyone's cup of tea but they are vfm.

I've a SWB Grand Vitara and it is a genuine off roader but it's a bit of a drinker and not a great motorway car (as you would expect). A new Vitara would be good, but hopefully they wont make it too much of a cross over and just bolt the 4x4 on as an afterthought.

 

Jeep seem to be doing a proper job on the Fiat 500, with their Trailhawk Renegade.

Not for me thank you, i never liked the first model.

Looks very fiat 500L to me.
