Re: Your Ideal Suzuki Lineup!

Cars:

First I believe with the success of Scion, Suzuki is the master of kei cars and should bring MR Wagon , the Kei Works, or my personal favorite the Wagon R.

To that, they could add the new Swift (see above link in prev post), and make that their sports car. Also they should add a convertable based off this car that was showcased on the Concept S2.

They should drop the Forenza and Reno, but keep the Aerio. This would keep the lineup more "Suzuki" based.

They should keep the Verona as the Aerio is currently the largest car Suzuki makes.

So cars in this order from smallest to largest:
Kei Sport
Swift
MR Wagon
Wagon R
Aerio
Verona

Then bring over the factory performance from Suzuki Sport.


Trucks/SUVs:

Since the settlement of the CU, I think they should bring the Samurai back as an affordable small suv in the 12-15 thousand range. They could use the Jimny for that. Or sell a 4 door and use the Ignis Crossover.

For small SUV they should use the current replacement for the Grand Vitara that will be built off the Nox platform.

Finally a midsize size SUV could be built off the elongated platform of the Nox, they showcased this on the Concept-X Suv at the NAIS.

So SUV lineup would be from smallest to largest:
Jimny(Samurai)
Ignis(Samurai 4 door or Sidekick)
Grand Vitara
Concept-X
I don't think all those small boxes will be selling in America to well... one, sure, to fight Scion, but half the lineup? I wouldn't go for that... my opinion anyway...
