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.

    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.

  • Dartdude The bottom line is that in the new America coming the elites don't want you and me to own cars. They are going to make building cars so expensive that the will only be for the very rich and connected. You will eat bugs and ride the bus and live in a 500sq-ft. apartment and like it. HUD wants to quit giving federal for any development for single family homes and don't be surprised that FHA aren't going to give loans for single family homes in the very near future.
  • Ravenuer The rear view of the Eldo coupe makes it look fat!
  • FreedMike This is before Cadillac styling went full scale nutty...and not particularly attractive, in my opinion.
  • JTiberius1701 Middle of April here in NE Ohio. And that can still be shaky. Also on my Fiesta ST, I use Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires for the winter and Bridgestone Potenza for my summer tires. No issues at all.
  • TCowner We've had a 64.5 Mustang in the family for the past 40 years. It is all original, Rangoon Red coupe with 289 (one of the first instead of the 260), Rally Pac, 4-speed, factory air, every option. Always gets smiles and thumbs ups.
