i've owned a suzuki... it was a good little suv. But I don't see that thing as competition, i doubt it'll put up any fight against what already out there.

Yep, it's rebadged Nissan Frontier.

I don't even know why they're trying. Didn't they learn anything from Mitsubishi Raider?

You know there are some things in life that are best if kept to yourself. Kinda like scooters and fat chicks

I for one wouldn't say that about the Raider in front of a bunch of people.
