Likely what it is going to look like. The Fiat Sedici (SX4) replacement:

Fiat changed the name from Sedici to Fiat 500X. Suzuki should also...not the same class of vehicle. It's appears it is going to be larger and will likely cost more than the SX4 it's replacing. Some speculate that may open the door for the Swift to be brought here.

I heard Fiat is not going to use rebadged SX4, that's why they change the name. And this 500L (X) supposed to use the same engine from the 500, so most likely it's going to be super slow with the extra weight.

actually it would be the other way around, no? I had always thought the SX4 body was designed by Fiat. hmmmm interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_SX4
It's designed by a famous Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. (Know that even he's Italian, he's not related to Fiat in anyway) However the whole production is by Suzuki. "...It was introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show and is manufactured at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Esztergom, Hungary, Japan, and Manesar, India. An expected 60,000 units were produced — 2/3 to be sold by Suzuki and 1/3 by Fiat, badged as the Sedici..."
