Looks like Suzuki US is out of the game, now it's going to be a pain in the ass to do maintenance and get parts. Wonder who is going to continue to honor the warranty and doing the service? Hopefully Suzuki Canada will not be backing out

Well that sucks!
On a more positive note :
Suzuki said it will continue to honor warranties and will provide automobile parts and service through its parts and service dealer network.

well this is certainly disappointing. I wish I would have known this in June when I bought my kizashi and I probably could have negotiated a better deal.

The news certainly sucks. I need to go and grab a few numbers of the Suzuki Mechanics in case I ever need repair.

The drawback is resale/trade values will plummet. Parts will be available and warranties honored unlike Saab. But like others, I would not have purchased this car had I seen this coming. Uncertainty isn't a good thing when it comes to cars.

Well that news really sucks. But as a very wise old man once told me, "IT IS WHAT IT IS" LOL. I still love this car. I was poised for difficulty in service and parts from day one. That is always the case with rare cars. I usually keep my cars until they are dead and this is no different.

Crap! I just bought one back in September... I can only hope the car is reliable for a few more years.
