I like it :) Looks good 8) (It works, if you are on a slow connection it will take forever, the site is a movie about the new model, not a regular web page 8)).

The interior looks awesome and the exterior looks good too. I was hoping to get more details on the guts of the truck (gearing, frame (or not), axle setup, etc....) I guess I'm going back to the I want more info tab like the movie said.

It said it started out at $18900. I would guess the loaded version to be around $25000 :-\

It has similarities to many of the modern SUV out there today but there are nice differences that set it apart, it’s "muscular" or squared off shape, the hood definitely has some Sidekick styling influences, and great approach and departure angles. The grill work is very nice with cues from earlier Suzuki vehicles and looks much better to me than the European and Japanese variants. I'm excited to see one and can't wait to drive it.

You know....

     As a modern competitive SUV I think it looks like a pretty neat piece. NIce mix of proven and new technology.

    But who on this board can afford it....I know I couldn't and it's alot more complex a unit than I would want.

     I really wish Suzuki would get back to their roots, how about a modern SideKick priced to be attainable, how about a new Swift that goes back to the theme of the originals.

     I was attracted to the Suzuki's because they were well built, well engineered basic vehicles that performed exceptionally well in there classes.

        " I want them back!!!"

     I'm sure this new unit is well engineered, well built and will do well in the market, but Suzuki please come home!

I not a fan of the part-time 4wd
I'm not a fan of the IRS
I also can't tell, but I suspect it's unibody as well.

Styling is nicer than most of the competition, but a shame it's not a true 4x4.

  I work at a GM dealer the Saturn VUE and chevy Equinox are the same vehicle. From what I've read the new grand vitara is based on the same unibody platform as it's GM cousins but uses a Suzuki derived powertrian ;D you can't get selectable 4wd on any of the GM units it's AWD or FWD so thats a huge difference also the interior and controls look far superior I'm really looking foward to driving one of these things thanks for the info eric ;)
