Suzuki's Hungarian Manufacturing Plant Turns 20

What a milestone for the EU Suzuki factory. Hope for the same for the planned 2012 Brazil Suzuki plant, the 1st Suzuki factory in LatAm soil (and the 1st full fledged Suzuki factory in the Americas since leaving the CAMI venture)...hopefully it serves the NA market in the near future. ---- Suzuki's ...

Re: Praying it's a turbo

If the NYIAS concepts are any true indications of the future variants of the Kizashi...according to the Sneak Preview section of the June 2011 Automobile magazine, the hybrid and turbo J24B engines (no mention of any VW help here) for the Kizashi would arrive by 2013..the article though added that V...

0W30...sounds like are you're using the vaunted "green" German Castrol Syntec (aka SLX Longlife) popular in BITOG, I got a stash of these (among other synthetics)... :mrgreen:

BREAKING:Suzuki Readies Change Of Guard/Decision-Making Body

I think this abrupt Suzuki management change/s has something to do with the fallout of the apparent slow progress from the 1+yr old VW-Suzuki Alliance... With the eventual grooming of eldest Suzuki brood Toshihiro-san to the Suzuki leadership, and delegation of other management/decision matters to t...

Re: Praying it's a turbo

It could be a turbo engine..sourced/licensed from VW. Though recent talk of the slow results of the VW/Suzuki alliance since the partnership commenced a year or so ago..I could be wrong, but I'd doubt such an engine would materialize this soon. My money is on either or both: a) A power bump (hp and/...

Re: Kizashi Ring Of Fire!

Well, it's been over a month since the Suzuki All Points Sweeps had ended...missed racking daily points from Tweets and playing the Ring of Fire game.

Re: European Suzuki Kizashi Sedan to Bow at Geneva Motor Sho

Yeah, I'd rather see a Suzuki manufactured (read as reliable) VW V6, a TDI (or a 2.0T) under licensed from VW...mimicking previous engine agreements between former partner GM and Suzuki. Btw, in the Kizashi Wiki page...I noticed an update recently popped out mentioning (besides the J24B), a 3.6L and...
