DAMD…They Did it Again: Japanese Tuner Mods Suzuki Wagon R

If anything else, you must admit that the folks over at DAMD have a vivid imagination when it comes to styling up small city cars like the Suzuki Wagon R. The aftermarket tuning house treats the Japanese mini -literally- van Wagon R with a new bodykit that comprises of a gaudy grille matched to a new front bumper that comes with an integrated lip spoiler and aluminium accents, side skirts, roof

My Two Styling Dents on the New Suzuki Kizashi Sedan

“They make cars?” used to be the common response when asking people about Suzuki’s automobile offerings. That’s about to change, though, because the runt of the Japanese litter has decided to go head to head against the first-stringers. With its Kizashi mid-size sedan, Suzuki thinks it knows what mid-size car buyers want, but the big question is: how can this stubby mid-sizer hope to compete?For

Cobra Suzuki SX4

Cobra came out with a couple of “off-road looking” accessories for Suzuki’s compact crossover that include a stainless-steel front guard and sill guards. The German based tuner also offers three different set of alloys for the SX4. Sorry to say this but even with these accessories the SX4 still looks utterly dull. Pity, cause design and limited boot-space apart, it’s a real honest and enjoyable

Suzuki Splash: Official Images Released

Following the revelation of Opel’s Agila earlier today, Suzuki released the first pictures of the Splash mini that will debut along with the Agila at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Since the Agila is based on the

Suzuki Alto Dresses Like a Fish for International Green Week Fair in Berlin

Being the only car manufacturer that will participate at the forthcoming International Green Week in Berlin, Suzuki wants to make a splash at the fair with a custom made Alto.
