Suzuki

I took my son to a Suzuki dealer near Charlotte cause he wanted to look at a new car there. While we was there the salesman was telling us that Suzuki will be selling trucks here in the US. Models ranging from 4x2 to 4x4 in regular cab,extended cab,and crew cab with a V6 engine. He showed us a picture of a crew cab sprayed in Rhino lining from top to bottom,with waterproof seats to appeal to hunters and fisherman.From the size of their vehicles it won't be very big.

It's a Nissan Frontier with a different grille from the looks of it. All body lines match up-

On edit:
I'm a ******* (news flash for those who don't pay attention-) The press release say it's a Nissan built truck.

That salesman is hoping. Right now he has a 7 vehicle lineup. It's possible and probable more are on the way.

Suzuki Auto

This suggests they will be stopping by Nissan first, then running them through the repaint and rebadge booth:

Suzuki will probably have something going, but don't hold your breath.....

I have a friend that bought a new Suzuki and it has been in the shop for 3 months trying to find out what is wrong with it. Right now they are getting ready to move out of state and need it back. To the dealers credit they did provide them with a loaner car. They said that they would allow a trade in on another Suzuki, but they don't want another one after the experience with the one they have now.

3 months.... Long enough to R&R everything on the vehicle in a trial and error method of fixing it. And they still can't do it. Raises questions about how a Suzuki dealer is selected and who gets a dealership. Maybe guys finally thrown overboard by Toyota.....
