POLL! - Which Equator Concept do you like best?
« on: February 11, 2008, 09:18:05 AM »
Of the three new Suzuki Equator concept vehicles, which one do you like best? There are more pictures of the vehicles here: http://www.zukiworld.com/month_020108/feature_suzuki-equator-first-look.htm

The more important question.... WHY do you like the one you selected best? Comments....

Thank you, Eric

If the QUAD (Olive drab one) is the Front page one.
I'd go for that one.
Cause it looks like a true Bad A#$ off Roader one

My vote is the QUAD (olive drab) as well.  First off the color rocks.  Look at that bumper!  No need for an aftermarket one to wheel the truck.   Usable roof rack, 4 doors, usable bed, BLACK WHEELS... all the right stuff to be a street fighter and not another chrome pile of crap (read toyotas).  That is my 2 cents.

If the quad gets the equivalent of the NISMO offroad package it'd be my choice for sure.  If they bring a diesel over for it I'll buy one in a heart beat.

The olive drab one not only has more "hardcore" styling cues but it also retains a more traditional Suzuki grill. Get rid of the ugly grill on the other two and they'd be ok.

I like the extended cab model. The rest look like foo-foo trucks. Who wants an expensive truck with all that stuff on it. It's just more crap to take off in 10 to 12 years when we can afford them and want to wheel them.

Is there a "none of the above" option? They look like re-badged Nissans to me, and I've not heard a lot of good things about Nissan's offroad reliability.

The Quad - ( Olive Drab ) , now if they would only bring to market something of their own like the X-Head, with gas or diesel options. I agree, not a re-badged Nissan. True innovation, and the quality we expect. A killer application that we'd give our left nut for.

So its actually a rebadged frontier? I thought the fronteir got bigger? But this looks like the older smaller frontier?
Styling wise the fronteir was gorgeous i thought, one of the nicest trucks on the market as long as you stuck to black or red. This quad concept looks even better.
I've heard the frontier had supercharger issues, but other than that it seemed fairly capable offroad. Nobody else makes a light truck except the ford ranger, if this really is a remake on the 05 frontier I'll buy one in a heartbeat. Say what you want about nissan but at least its Japanese.
EDIT*
No nevermind that does look like the newer frontier. Bit big for a zuki :P Oh well at least it looks alot better than the new frontier. That grill is hideous on the Nissan...

BTW my vote goes to the Quad concept, its the only one that actually looks like a truck :/
