They better do something because MSN did an article a month or so ago and in it they said no other manufacturer suffered as huge a loss in sales in 2009 as Suzuki. Something in line of down 78%. It sad too because there is not ONE Suzuki dealer in the greater metro Detroit area or even surrounding area. My Neighbor liked the SX4 but didn't buy one because the nearest Suzuki dealer is hours away. And what would he do for service?
The same happened to my sister in California. She loved, loved, loved her Grand Vitara so when it came time to get a new one the nearest Suzuki dealer was an hour and 45 minutes away. Too far for her, and same thing...what happens if she needs warranty work? So she got a Jeep.
This is the problem, their dealer base is god awful. They have this amazing Kisashi coming out but how are thet going to sell them with 8 dealerships in the whole country....(that's a joke BTW)....but it's a big problem.
