Where the hell is the Swift? That car alone could save Suzuki. Bringing it here would generate publicity, just because it would compete against such a quirky car as the Cooper, and possibly defeat it in comparison tests.

Also! Up here in Canada, the manual-transmission and FWD versions of the Kizashi were just cancelled...
...so I'm not recommending it to anyone anymore. The stick-FWD combo was the best Kizashi. What happened to the rumored V6 variant?!
