Farewell Suzuki - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*The_Blur* · 02-13-2013, 09:13 AM

After years of mismanagement, terrible treatment of American counterparts by their headquarters, nonexistent advertising, and unimpressive product, Suzuki is leaving the American auto market. They didn't deserve to sell here, and they deserve to be totally shuttered based upon the miserable way they treated their employees. They had the potential to do great things with their performance bike engines in cars, but instead they just built abysmal cars like this one.

The Samurai is great with a transplanted V8.

After they declared bankruptcy, they used part of the provided funding to build more cars, as their 'going out of business sale' resulted in a massive increase in demand for their cars.

The Swift is the only half cool looking Suzuki... especially next to these. [dibs on the left]

You can still rush out and get a leftover Kaiashi (probably spelled wrong)...basically a Malibu with a better warra...oh wait, nevermind.

Seriously, I thought they pulled out two or three years ago. What were they even trying to sell here at the end?
