I think that is a very accurate account ....

To quote ... "The trouble is that Suzuki is best at making small cars and trucks, and U.S. consumers just don't like them that small."

Yup ... and the rest of the world does, so they sell well in the rest of the world, and the US market is a side business.

Wall street cares about the US market $$$ ... suzuki sells their "small cars" to the rest of the world and is profitable Q in and Q out.

Sorry mr. forbes writer ... that aint a "problem"

It's a shame that the X2 will be based on the Equinox.  I work at a Chevy dealer and those Equinox's just aren't a Zuk.  How about an American Jimny!!!
