VIDEO: Suzuki GSX-R self-assembles, can AI be far behind?

Fancy yourself mechanically inclined? Ever want to try your hand at building your own motorcycle? While some of us have rebuilt our fair share of cars over the years, we've never gone and tried the ground-up thing ourselves on a two-wheeled machine, and after watching the video embedded after the break, we think we'd rather be out riding. A heck of a lot of work obviously went into producing this clip, which we're told was completed by a father and son team (that'd be Noah and Noah's Dad, we presume) in about 30 hours. Using a bunch of ... Read more →

REPORT: Volkswagen to take 20% stake in Suzuki Jeremy Korzeniewski

Review: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi GTS is up for the Challenge John Neff

2010 Suzuki Kizashi to start under $19k 1 month ago on Autoblog

We liked our time behind the wheel of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. It drives like a little sports sedan and doesn't look half bad, and now Suzuki's newest sedan has another attractive quality: it's priced to sell. The Kizashi will start at $18,999. The base Kizashi isn't exactly a stripper model ...

SEMA 2009: Custom Suzuki Kizashi models impress, upset 1 month ago on Autoblog

We totally dig the new 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. It's a bold step forward for Suzuki and (hopefully) a harbinger of great things to come, which also happens to be what "Kizashi" means. However, the looks are a little, well... not outstanding. Not that it's particularly bad-looking (it ain't), but ...

REPORT: Suzuki CEO nips VW tie-up rumors in the bud 1 month ago on Autoblog

First Drive: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi drives brand out of basement, into fast lane 2 months ago on Autoblog

Shut your eyes and say the word "Suzuki" out loud. Unless you're a moto-head or one of those rare Geo Metro fanatics (they exist, trust us), the image that springs to mind isn't very nice.

It's o-kei! Suzuki Palette SW introduced in Japan 2 months ago on Autoblog

You're Japanese. You have a family. You need a minivan. But minivans are freaking huge, Japan's streets are crowded, and you want something that's a lot smaller and can dart between lumbering dekotora lit up like Vegas. So, you look to a kei minivan because it's teeny tiny. Suzuki's got your back ...

Spy Shots: 2011 Suzuki Swift... will we get it? 4 months ago on Autoblog

We've been hearing for quite some time that the subcompact Suzuki Swift could possibly make it Stateside, and while we think it probably should have made the trip about four years ago when the latest generation was first introduced, we'd still accept another fun-to-drive little hatchback with ...

2010 Suzuki Kizashi sized up against the competition 4 months ago on Autoblog

The 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is being billed as the Japanese automaker's first entry into the U.S. market's mid-size sedan segment. Truth be told, Suzuki never calls the Kizashi a mid-size sedan in its official material, but rather uses the term "sport sedan". It's hard to tell based on pictures of ...

Suzuki offering free gas for summer with SX4 purchase 5 months ago on Autoblog

Suzuki is getting in on the free gas bandwagon that Hyundai kicked off this year by launching a "Free Gas for Summer" promotion on all SX4s sold between now and August 31st. Of course, it pays to read the fine print – what the purchaser really gets is a pre-paid credit card loaded up with ...
