Main > Car Makers News > Suzuki > Suzuki Splash This is the sort of car we should all be buying: small on the outside, big on the inside, with a low price tag and superb fuel economy. The Splash is a supermini in size but an MPV in height: and for a tiny car it really does have outstanding headroom. Even my 6ft 5in passenger had a good four inches above his head in the front; and the back was scarcely less spacious. For comparison, the Suzuki Swift - by no means a cramped car for tall drivers - has 29mm less headroom in the front and 30mm less in the... Full article...

The video comes courtesy of a fan recording a television screen at what looks to be a Nissan event display. The background noise is rather overbearing, but if you crank up the volume it is possible to catch a hint of the squealing tires and screaming engine. Those are the same street tires available off the showroom floor, along with supposedly stock engine specifications. Regardless of the equipment though, the... Full article...

The 3,800lb car’s 480hp twin-turbo V6 just shouldn’t be able to move it around like it does, and the base model’s 20-inch Dunlop Sport tires shouldn’t let it be thrown through the corners with such abandon, either. But the physics books are wrong, and Nissan has videographic proof. Filmed by a fan at what appears to be a Nissan event or factory garage, the video below shows the GT-R, as reported earlier this month... Full article...

The deal caps gas at $2.99 per gallon with Chrysler paying the rest. It was to expire June 2, but now will go through July 7. Chrysler said Monday the deal has resonated with consumers and raised traffic on the Chrysler Web site by 25 percent since it began May 7. "Boy, have we gotten a great response," Vice Chairman and President Jim Press said on a conference call with reporters. "This... Full article...

The XL7's unitized Theta II platform, on loan from General Motors, also serves as the basis for the Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent. Suzuki also borrows the General's 3.6 liter V6, trying its very best in this application. The XL in the name is an apt descriptor, this is a lot of vehicle, and the price makes it a lot of value. So, what had to be... Full article...

As gas prices soar, the attractions of commuter-style motorbikes and scooters -- with their excellent fuel economy, maneuverability in traffic and ease of parking -- are becoming evident to more and more consumers. No longer secondary vehiclesAccording to the NADA price guide www.nadaguides.com, interest in motorcycles has risen sharply in recent... Full article...

Perfectly executed and relentlessly entertaining, it's no surprise that Mazda's little roadster is the track-day weapon of choice for a number of people. While countless 4-banger Miatas do their thing on the autocross circuit, one Mark Snell was interested in kicking things up a level so he could run with the big boys in their 'Vettes...

On the one hand, you have the motorcycle side of the company, maker of end-times miracles such as the Hayabusa and the GSX-R. These are completely and utterly fantastic bikes, virtually without peer, especially if you like going 300 mph in first gear. The company also makes scooters, ATVs and outboard motors, and I hear they are pretty good too. On the other... Full article...

The legendary test driver took automotive writers for hot laps around the Autodromo Fernanda Pires Da Silva in Estoril, Portugal, recently as part of the 2009 model's introduction. Suzuki still had his mojo working a few days after setting a record time for the GT-R of 7 minutes, 29 seconds at Germany's 22-kilometer Nurburgring. That shaved 9 seconds off the previous record and bolstered... Full article...

With that in mind, we packed some extra content into Autoblog Podcast #93. It's the usual rollicking good time where we discuss our current Autoblog Garage occupants, hit a few news items like the neo-M1 concept from BMW, Suzuki's content addition to the SX4, and the unveiling of the new Mazda6.
