Europe and Asia to boost Suzuki 2006 sales by 10%

Suzuki Motor Company says that its expectations of European and Asian demand will raise the company's overall sales by as much as 10 percent.

The company, in which General Motors has a 20 percent stake, is banking on sales in China to go up 38 percent, a 15 percent increase in India, and 17 percent in Europe. The company also expects the overall jump to be aided by the introduction of its redesigned MR Wagon in Japan.
