Last week told 12th April this week told 24th April, at least the dealer principle is phoning, no good will on fitting of extra bits.

Yet more events being cancelled where we were going to take it (was meant to be January and then March).

Not sure what will happen if it goes into May. In reality the experience has taken the polish off it so its do I flip and go Macan S.

New customer to the brand, not bothered as a brand or dealer group its late.

So as it stands I have no clue whats going on again. Why they have had no Jimny's in so far is weird (if this is to be believed). All i know is, if i retract my deposit at this stage, I have 0% chance of getting one. As opposed to a seemingly 1% chance of getting one as it currently stands ;-)


I dont know what to expect, think or feel at this stage.

Bugger it ;-)



Andy - I do feel for you mate. We are all pretty much in the same boat, but you do seem to have had the 'Oscar-Winning' version of the dealer run-around!

Perhaps as Suzuki Waiting List members we should all start having "Indicative Votes" for a way forward? Of course, it wouldn't help in any shape or form - but at least we would be emulating 'Our betters'?

(Apologies to all non-UK members - that's just an in-joke for the Brexit-Downtrodden)

Last March when there was all that drift snow in the road, a near neighbour in rural Northumberland couldn’t get out anywhere in their Macan, meanwhile a Suzuki Vitara and a Fiat Panda could drive through the snow perfectly well.

In fairness my Golf R on winters obliterated most in the snow last year.

Asked the dealer if we could borrow their demo for a few days so our graphics people could start prepping and they said no due to test drives.

Funnily enough my Porsche dealer aware of our predcament has offered to loan us a Mecan for the Goodwood Member's Meeting which sums things up. Out local Suzuki dealer said they may offer us a Vitara, I think they missed a trick not saying the Swift Sport which would be a lot of fun.

Wrote to Suzuki UK yesterday given the Japanese are meant to be punctual, honourable and do not like to lose face.

In support of some dealers:

I got an unsolicited phone call from the owner of my local dealership today confirming I am top of their auto list (but still way down on their overall list of manuals), and apologising that his next couple of vehicles were manuals.

I have to say that I felt sort of reassured by this!

Glad you got a good service today Guy.

On another note.......

Just call me spot, or the hound will do ;-) Im like a dog with a bone!

I got some telling info today. Suzi GB have been very thorough and assure me they are now on the case (of shoddy practices and the allocation mystery). Just waiting for a call from the Suzi GB logistics dept. But they were very good and much more informative this time.

I'll let ya know what transpires. But unfortunately initial info aint looking pretty. And that's for everyone waiting on a Q2 allocation.

I'll say no more until fully confirmed. I'll keep ya'll posted.
