Driving along I-86 today I passed a car I hadn't seen before. As I closed up on it I read Suzuki Swift on the lift gate. WTF, did I miss the American release to a car this message board has been clamoring for?

No. It turns out I didn't look at the plate and it was a Canadian market Swift+. A Daewooki Aveo, no relation to the real Swift

None the less it was interesting seeing a new car I hadn't seen before.

Since GM/Daewoo have split from their "partnership" with Suzuki, this couldn't have been too new a model?

That's it. I shall now make it my life's goal to merge those two companies, just so I can see this badge on a production car.

They are still selling these new in Canada.

Jay, I first heard that name on GRM when I was looking at a Reno
