Okay so I speak German (live about 5 miles next to it). I'll try to translate it for you guys:

The New Suzuki Grand Vitara,
Bigger and more luxurious.
The new GV is officially not here untill Fall 2005. AUTO BILD has it allready in it's Mag. First pictures.
For a while Suzuki Sent the new GV only on-road in a camouflage suit  ;D but now we have found it without. On the pic it's obvious to see that the new model is more modern and even looks a bit lake a Toyota RAV 4 (ugh, puke  ;D).
Obvious fender flares, big back lites and clear lines follow the auto-mode now a days. Also in length there will be some added. On the autosalon in Geneve the car will be as a study model but on the IAA in Fall 2005 it will officially be the serial version in Europe.

I don't like it as much as I hoped  :-[ and what's up with this:
Look at the hood, would it open up forward????? :o
I think it looks like a Mitsubishi Pajero or something (don't know if you have those over there but I don't lik em).
At least we have the Jimny around here. But as for a while I'll stick to my Vit  ::)

That first pic it looks like a Murano or Axxiom. I like it though.
