That new Swift overseas is a pretty sweet car. I believe their top of the line sport model has a TC from factory!

Its ok...looks dont really do it for me. I know two people that drive Suzuki's, solid cars, never heard a peep of complaint from either for the years they have owned the car. Except maybe one who says the mpg on his SX4 could be better.

Yes but if you will notice, that cool looking photo of the raced out swift is a coupe. The proportions on the 4-door look out of place somehow.

But again thats just me hehe.

I agree the 4 door isn't as hot, and after dipped my head in a bucket of ice, I have decide that, I will only trade my fit for a swift coupe, and only if they don't water it down like everything else we get here in the state.

I may go test drive one too if it is turbo'd.

It looks more like a Mini and Clio got busy and popped out an illegitimate child, then let it be adopted by Suzuki.

hmm, i don't know about that one. i think that Clio is way out of Mini's league. Mini probably got shot down when he tried to ask Clio out, then Mini got upset and wanted to get back at Clio for embarrassing him in front of the rest of BMW, so Mini slipped a ruffie (sp?) into Clio's tank and had his way with her. Clio woke up in the middle of a Kmart parking lot, not knowing what had just happened. Clio began back firing, running rich, and having electrical problems. 9 months later, Clio gave birth to Swift. She knew she couldn't afford to take care of Swift so she left him on Suzuki's door step with a note and a merchant's suggested retail price.

sorry, got out of topic.. but i think that's how it all happened.

This most certainly didn't get any ugly genes. I'd rock it turbocharged, repainted Black Amethyst Pearl, glass top with black paint, with 17" Racing Hart RS451's in machine black, Recaro Pole Positions with matching stitching, and 4 ho's, plus 2 more ho's in the trunk. This ain't the kind of car you roll respectable girls in. I'm talkin nasty skany chicks.

Or maybe I'd just get a Fit instead.

Suzuki's here are NOTHING like they are everywhere else in the world. The Swift is a VERY popular and well-built vehicle. The best part though is it's handling. I'd own one in a heartbeat if the Fit weren't available.

When we found out Suzuki had an event with a Euro-only 2008 Suzuki Swift just a short distance from Chicago we jumped at the chance to take it for a quick spin. A volume seller in Europe, Asia and other markets, the Swift has a mostly inglorious past here in the states as the almost indistinguishable cousin of the Geo Metro between 1995 and 2001. Anyone who has driven either might wonder what made us so excited about the prospect of driving this particular Swift. There are two reasons. The first is that there's more than an ocean's worth of difference between that Swift of old and this completely reworked global compact car. The second reason is that although this particular version wasn't meant for American consumption, one similar to it will be here as a U.S.-spec model. Also, I'm not crazy enough to pass on an opportunity to drive one of the only two new Swifts in the US.
