IAA 2011: Suzuki Reveals the New Swift Sport

A little over month ago, Suzuki released a single photo and gave us some basic information about its new Swift Sport. Now, the Japanese firm's sporty hatchback has made its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Swift Sport looks like a normal Swift that’s been working out. Its front end sports a new grille and larger air intakes but it’s the rear end, with its diffuser and the two exhausts placed on either corner that really makes a difference.

Suzuki wants to Dissolve Partnership with Volkswagen, but the Germans Say ‘Nein’

In a move more or less anticipated after the recent publication of Volkswagen's internal review that accuses Suzuki of breaking a contract agreement between the two companies by purchasing diesel engines from Fiat, the Japanese carmaker said it will abort its alliance with the German group.

Suzuki's announcement comes almost two years after it forged a partnership with Volkswagen. The German had acquired a 19.9 per cent stake in Suzuki Motor Corp in December 2009 for 225 billion Yen (then, approx US$2.5 billion) while the Japanese automaker agreed to invest up to one half of the amount received from the German automaker into shares of Volkswagen.

Official: VW Says Suzuki Violated Agreement by Purchasing Diesel Engines from Fiat

It's no secret that Volkswagen's business relationship with Suzuki after the Germans acquired a 19.9 percent of the Japanese manufacture's shares in December 2009 under a strategic cooperation has been a deeply troubled one. However, up until now, the two sides tried to keep the problems "in house".

But today, following recent comments from the Japanese firm's chairman Osamu Suzuki that the two companies "aren't even talking", the Volkswagen Group decided to make these problems public with an official announcement.

Kansas Dealer for Negative Publicity Suzuki to Pay $18.5 Million

The U.S. division of Suzuki has been ordered by a Jackson County, Missouri court to pay one of its official dealers, Jeremy Franklin Suzuki located in Kansas City, the sum of $18.5 million for negative publicity against its business.

Out of the $18.5 million, $15 million are due to punitive damages caused by Suzuki’s action to the dealership, while the remaining $3.5 million are to be paid as compensation to Jeremy Franklin, president of the dealership.

The story goes like this: another Kansas City Suzuki dealer along with Franklin’s own brother, Chad, advertised a “no payments for life” plan for new Suzuki car buyers. As anticipated, their scheme didn’t go as planned so a barrage of lawsuits and negative publicity was inevitable.

Jeremy, who owned his own Suzuki dealership, had no involvement in the promotion. However, his attorneys argued that the negative publicity that stemmed from his brother's case damaged his business as consumers were mistakenly believed that Chad's and Jeremy's separate dealerships were connected.

Jeremy Franklin commented on the court’s verdict: “We see this as a vindication of our commitment to serve our customers and our persistent efforts to grow our business despite all the confusion. We look forward to rebuilding trust in the Suzuki brand name in Kansas City.”

So where does American Suzuki feature in this sibling rivalry? Well, as Jeremy Franklin’s attorney Bill Car explained, it approved and funded some of the “no payments for life” ads: “They should be held responsible for their role in approving their ads and paying for parts of the promotion and not taking steps to stop it.”

Apparently, the jury was convinced by his argument. American Suzuki spokesman Jeff Holland commented that “the company is disappointed” by the verdict and will appeal.

New Suzuki Swift Sport with 135HP

Suzuki is finally ready to add a sporty variant to the Swift's range. The Japanese automaker released a single photo and details of the Swift Sport ahead of its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

The new Swift Sport is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of 135HP at 6,900 rpm and maximum torque of 160 Nm (118 lb/ft) at 4,400 rpm. The four-cylinder engine was developed especially for the Swift Sport and it transmits power to the front wheels via a newly developed six-speed manual gearbox.

According to Suzuki, the new Swift Sport is more refined than its predecessor that was launched in 2006. The company says it will also be more responsive thanks to struts with internal rebound springs and a redesigned rear suspension.

While it has a more aggressive look than the regular versions thanks to the large honeycombed front grille, the redesigned front bumper with the big fog lights and the side skirts, it isn't as wild as the Swift S-Concept we saw at the Geneva Show last March.

Although Suzuki has not released any photos of the interior, the company claims that “it combines essential sportiness with a high-quality look and feel”.

If you want a preview of the cockpit, take a look at the photo of the S-Concept as we reckon most parts including the sport seats will make it into production.

The purchasing price of the Maruti 800 is one of the biggest factors behind its success but by no means is it the only good thing about the car. Just like the low price of purchasing a car is one of the top priorities for low income families, the cost of maintenance and fuel efficiency is also a matter of concern.
