Suzuki Does TTAC A Solid

Despite our relentless Death Watch against Suzuki, the company decided to throw TTAC a bone by displaying a brown Grand Vitara at the Canadian International Auto Show.
This is actually one of two shades of brown available on the GV. While you can no longer get a rear-drive or stick shift configuration on the GV like in days past, it’s nice to know that someone is listening to some, if not all of our prayers.

- Slavuta Nissan + profitability = cheap crap
- ToolGuy Why would they change the grille?
- Oberkanone Nissan proved it can skillfully put new frosting on an old cake with Frontier and Z. Yet, Nissan dealers are so broken they are not good at selling the Frontier. Z production is so minimal I've yet to see one. Could Nissan boost sales? Sure. I've heard Nissan plans to regain share at the low end of the market. Kicks, Versa and lower priced trims of their mainstream SUV's. I just don't see dealerships being motivated to support this effort. Nissan is just about as exciting and compelling as a CVT.
- ToolGuy Anyone who knows, is this the (preliminary) work of the Ford Skunk Works?
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I will drive my Frontier into the ground, but for a daily, I'd go with a perfectly fine Versa SR or Mazda3.

I suppose this Firm had to display a Car in Toronto, to show people they are not dead yet! I think most people who have these Cars like our Mail Courier are now looking for another vehicle, as maybe so are there dealers here in Ontario.
I looked at these around 2008 when shopping for our Mazda 5. We were looking at small utes new and used. I always liked the clean lines and the underdog nature of the GV. I thought "how bad could this be?". Initial impression on the test drive was OK. It was a Limited V6 with a 27k window sticker they were letting go for 19900 out the door. To make the story short, I drove it home and drove it back, about 30 miles roundtrip. I could have turned around midway between the dealer and home because i knew it wasn't for me. False hope? The wife and I drove a 2002 CRV later that day with 40k and it was more refined than the Suzuki.
