suzuki displaying 1600 pound booger at geneva auto show

Now, this isn’t something I picked out of my nose. This is Suzuki’s new A-segment concept, a car that weighs a mere 1600 lbs.

Already unveiled as the Suzuki Regina at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show, the car will now be dubbed the G70 when it gets its second showing at Geneva. The G70 is about the size of a Fiat 500 and uses an 800cc gasoline engine, a CVT gearbox, regenerative braking and a start-stop feature to achieve 75 mpg. You’ve got to hand it to Suzuki…it’s certainly different.

I know I shouldn't, but I like this...there is finally a good use for "adorkable".

If you want to see the folks I think this car is aimed at, check out www.japanesestreets.com By the way, I have nothing to do with the site.

I see an angry teenage Renault 8 head neatly grafted to the body of a baby Citroen DS21. A car like this could never be picked out of the nose of a North American. No, this must have been plucked from the ear of a cheese maker in Province. If Suzuki planned a "break" version with a six speed manual and a super-efficient diesel engine I would most definitely boast of buying three. And if they actually built such a conveyance I'd most certainly forget what I just wrote.
