According to Mibz.com, the
Suzuki SX4 won't be pimped to just Fiat anymore (see:
Sedici),
Volkswagen is getting in on the act. Going after the small end of the market, VW is reportedly set to take advantage of its
new 19.9 percent share of
Suzuki and swiping the lovable little SX4 as the basis of a new model tentatively dubbed Rocktan.
Positioned as a city-sized crossover, the Rocktan theoretically slots in between the similarly tiny
CrossPolo and
Tiguan, though this is all unconfirmed at this point. Power will apparently not be from Suzuki, but rather from VW, likely the 1.4-liter TSI gasoline engine and 1.6- and 2.0-liter TDI diesels. This could be mere grist for the rumormill, or we could soon see a
Nissan Juke-sized VolkZuki. For now, all we've got are dreams of another flavor of the friendly SX4.
