Sixth-gen Suzuki Swift spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
Suzuki finally seems headed in the right direction: away from a lineup clogged with SUVs towards one chock full of fun-to-drive cars. The
SX4 was a good start and the
Kizashi, in our estimation, is a home run. But the brand that's big everywhere else in the world has one car after which we've always lusted, the Swift. You may remember the Swift from back in the day as a rebadged Geo Metro (or vice versa), but that name carried on in other global markets where it was eventually affixed to the fifth generation Swift that debuted in 2004. Think of it as a poor man's Mini.
While Americans won't get to sample the fifth-gen Swift, Suzuki has indicated that the sixth-gen model currently under development
will be sold in the U.S. And here it is in three-door guise.
It's hard to believe that just ten years ago the U.S. market for automobiles was awash in trucks and SUVs, and soon we'll be knee deep in a sea of small cars like the
Ford Fiesta, next-gen
Chevrolet Aveo and Spark and
Honda CR-Z to name a few. You can add the Suzuki Swift to that list now.
