Honda Jazz is 2009’s best selling vehicle in Japan

Honda Jazz is 2009’s best selling vehicle in Japan

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.

Monster NX 16 – The Swift’s new ruthless Japanese cousin

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.

Suzuki Vitara “O’Neil Limited” Edition launched in Japan

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.

More Suzuki Kizashi spy shots prop up on internet

More Suzuki Kizashi spy shots prop up on internet

The Suzuki Kizashi will be Maruti Suzuki’s first D-segment car in India when it arrives in 2010. The Suzuki Kizashi is a stylish sedan, with so many Suzuki trademarks all over it’s body. Be it the raised boot-lid placement or the steeply raked windscreen, it’s oozing SX4 or Dzire from which ever angle you are looking.The twin exhaust that comes out the rear bumper adds to the aggression and is a nice touch.

These photographs are from Japan, the test mule was putting in some quick laps at the local race circuit. Will the Suzuki have the might to take on cars like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry? Your question is answered if you know the answer to how many 20 lakh-car owners would like to run shoulders with Suzuki Alto and Omni owners.

Kizashi buyers will no doubt benefit from the ample availability of spares and unmatched Maruti Suzuki service back-up. Peace of mind, and lots of it.
