No, we’re not kidding.
As Honda induces rage shock into the tender hearts and brains of Indian hatchback buyers with its pricing, it manages to topple every other car to take the coveted best selling car in Japan, year after year.
65,589 units of the Honda Jazz were delivered to Japanese customers in the first half of 2009.
The Suzuki Alto is India’s best selling car. I guess it sells for a million yen in Japan.
The Honda Jazz/Fit was the best selling car in Japan last year as well and is in a strong position to repeat that feat again.
Suzuki Swift being a proper hot hatch with its mini-like looks has bowled over millions of Indians. It has been the younger generation’s toy to play with as for as modification of cars in India is concerned. This is apart from the older Honda City, Mitsubishi Lancer and Skoda Octavia.
The 87 horses of the Swift was enough for the Indian customers to break speed limits, but the new Japanese cousin has so many, you could reach speeds that could end you up in jail.

After bringing on the new third generation Grand Vitara, Suzuki is not sitting back. It has gone ahead and launched a limited edition Escudo (the name by which Grand Vitara sells in the Japanese market).
Joining hands with surf wear and equipment brand “O’Neil”, Suzuki has introduced the special edition limited to 600 units.
The 2.4L XG model would be available in this unique form, but only in Japan. The rest of the world will have to wait and watch the success of this venture which may then spark more such special units for the rest of the world. India could sure do with a revamped and exclusive Grand Vitara to bring back the enthusiasts.

Our sources in Japan tell us Suzuki’s D-Segment Kizashi project has been put on hold. Suzuki announced it had scrapped the 3.5-liter V6 engine in favour of a 2.0-liter engine, but now that engine’s development has also been halted. Don’t expect the Kizashi in India till 2011 or 2012.
The JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Toyota Land Cruiser has received a new 318hp 4.6-liter V8 engine. The Land Cruiser’s current engine is a 4.7-liter Toyota engine which uses outdated technology.
The 4.6-liter V8 Dual VVT-i gasoline engine produces 318-horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 460Nm of maximum torque at 3,400 rpm. The predecessor’s 4.7-liter V8 posted inferior figures of 288HP and 445Nm. The new 4.6L V8 is coupled to a new 6-speed automatic transmission that replaces the previous 5-speed auto box.
Is this the best form of advertising by a company which will release it’s first up-market car in a short while? Is this a large-scale example of utter confusion and chaos? Or is this is a neat display to show a company’s decision making skills is as efficient as a 5-year old’s. Welcome everyone, to Suzuki, or what we Indians affectionately refer to as Maruti Suzuki.
The cute little Fiat 500 which is also known as Cinquecento and the ‘mighty mouse’ has been voted as the ‘Best Compact Car’ in Japan.
