Their car business will remain obscure. The cars will always be in the shadow of the motorcycle business, hence the need for their current campaign: our cars are as fun as our motorcycles.

A contender against the WRX or Lancer Ralliart would raise Suzuki's profile, and get the attention of those of us who dream of that level of performance, but can't quite rationalize the expense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2007 11:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Don't believe the hype: Suzuki won't be producing roadgoing rally-inspired SX4]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would be really shocked if they take on the EVO or WRX.The minds running the Auto division at Suzuki are very conservative. Their products are focused on the home Japanese market. If they fit other markets, so be it. Thus the reason we get Daewoo's for the more American style cars. In the 1990's I remember a statement that the US market was not that important to them. They could pull out  and still have a huge market for the rest of the world. Still pretty much the same today. I know the American arm likes to say they are increasing sales but if you look at the numbers they are really small. Toyota sells in three months ,more corollas than Suzuki sells in its entire line for the whole year. I personally like their Japanese cars. The Daewoo's, not so much. If they were a full line car maker with a model in each class the US market might be more important. Until then, we probably wont see high performance models. All just my opinion of course. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 8:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Don't believe the hype: Suzuki won't be producing roadgoing rally-inspired SX4]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not taking risks and being obscure as some of you stated<br>before  are completely  wrong.  At the Frankfurt auto show Suzuki is planning a segment D sedan with very modern feel and with refinement. <br>I do agree that the SX4 needs to expand their performance capabilities and I am sure we will see something like that in a few years.<br>The much loved Swift should be coming our way very soon and eventually the XL 7 will most likely have its own platform in the coming years. Right now, I do see a growing number on the road(NY).<br>Although Suzki has been in the shadows as some of you stated,  I do feel in the near future they will catch up to Hyundai and maybe some other well known brands.<br>I wish them the best,]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ebm14]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2007 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Don't believe the hype: Suzuki won't be producing roadgoing rally-inspired SX4]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/25/dont-believe-the-hype-suzuki-wont-be-producing-road-going-ral/</guid><description><![CDATA[damn it!!! so they won't? i love the motocycles and i wanted a suzuki sx4 rally to be my second car. i was waitting for it. focus can have the garaje for a little more.however is a great car too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[alexer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 27th 2007 11:30PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
