Default Concept and Production

Concept: http://www.autofans.us/images/2008%20New%2...0Reveal%209.jpg

Production: http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/2010-suzuk...s-and-coffee/#4

the concept with the exception of a few things looked production ready. from the side it looks like one of the chrysler sebrings but the interior is very nice.

For some reason I just don't think Suzuki and long lasting car. It just seems to be the same as most cheap 4 cyl fwd cars that are made to a very low price point. Because the low price is the only thing going for them. And after a few years they just seem to fall apart.

Production version looks like another epic fail for suzuki in the car market. The concept looked bold.

Concept is bold. Production is not. Even the interior looks bland.

Who makes the final decision on this kinda stuff??? I mean in all honesty that pronto thing is kinda cool looking. I would have never guessed that would turn into one of the dumbest things on the road today...

People who make these changes have bad taste.

the production car isn't terrible looking.... just nothing like the concept, which if made as was - would catapult Suzuki back as a viable option in that segment. Too bad.

Suzuki swifts back in the day were really fun little cars to drive from what I understand.
