    Also for some consumers there is brand damage. Who the hell wants to own a Mitsu/ Suzuki when you can buy a Honda/ Yota/ Kia/ Hyundia, etc.

    Just read that article http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/30/l...suzuki-models/ (vaporware!?) on Suzuki stating they have a new SX4 debut coming -> they even released sketch!

    Grand Vitara new model is in the works too reportedly. No sketch.

    Add the new Equator (c'mon Nissan!) pickup and that'll make 3 models at least.

    Shame we aren't getting the new Swift!


    Mitsubishi? i-MiEV is new for 2012!

    While they are deciding on the new Mirage, time is passing.

    A re-styled Kizashi could replace the Galant! What are you waiting for?!
