Allegedly yes. It has been promised at the last Tokyo and Geneva motor shows but nothing official said yet.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Do you think it will defo look like that Martin as according to two Suzi franchises I spoke with the thinking is that the same will happen as did with the Ignis (or was it Swift) and when it gets to showrooms it will be changed a fair bit.
I hope it keeps the Hummer look cos I am saving up to get one.

Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

Last I heard was it would be made in India.

Even Renault had to move Dacia production from India :ohmy: (They were rusting faster than Lancias, despite instructions to actually paint them)

Puts me off, unless it is under £5000, in which case I will definitely buy one!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Well as the leaked pictures also show it on the production line then it is pretty much finalised

Maruti have been making Suzukis for years for a number of markets so they are pretty established

I watched loads of Maruti vids before I decided to get my Celerio.

I think the made in India issue is a lot like the made in China issue. They may not be the same as a Suzuki made in Japan but the quality will be driven by what Suzuki demands.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

More likely by the minimum cost for manufacture. :whistle:
