When the Kisashi went from this:



to this:



I knew they were not long for this market.

you mean that had to happen for you to realize it? I knew ten years ago, it was only a matter of time:

yes it's a sad day, but for the last few years it's been pretty obvious they could care less about the american market.

I may keep my eye out for a few last minute deals on new suzuki's. The Kizashi and SX4 are actually decent cars (maybe a bit boring)

What's kind of funny, is i work for the company that probably helped speed up Suzuki's sales and market share lose.

When all these shitty daewoos left the market and didn't get replaced, that is when suzuki lost it

For all its funkiness, the Aerio got some good press and wasn't a bad little car, but Suzuki really need to start doing more to stand out. The Kisashi was their last best hope, and the production version hit the market with a dull thud. At that point, even bringing the Swift over would have been pointless.

no it wasn't a bad little car, but, you know...prettiest cashier at Wal Mart.

Suzuki just lacked the R&D budget and pushed out boring people movers.

I think people are willing to take a chance on brands that used to be seen as inferior. hyundai, even kia. but not suzuki. theyre still considered bottom feeders.

They desperately need the long promised lightweight roadster with a Hayabusa engine...

That said the Swift and Alto do very well here.

fuck, that'd be sick.
