Suzuki is headed for its second straight 100,000-sales year here in 2007.
Aerio: The 2007 model year is the last for the Aerio sedan.
Reno: A freshening is scheduled for the 2009 model year. Suzuki is considering a high-horsepower engine for the vehicle.
Swift: The Swift was last sold here in 2002. It will return to this country as a hatchback for the 2011 model year. There also may be a hybrid sedan.
Forenza: A freshening is planned for the 2009 model year.
SX4: A sedan will join the SX4 five-door hatchback as a 2008 model. Like the hatchback, it will be powered by a 143-hp, 2.0-liter, inline four-cylinder engine. Unlike the hatchback, which comes with standard all-wheel drive, the sedan will be front-drive only.
Awd "was good for the dealers in the Northeast, but it made the car more expensive," says Gary Linam, an Alabama dealer who is a member of the Suzuki dealer council. "A lot of dealers wanted the sedan to come with fwd."
New sedan: The Verona, built by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co., was plagued with quality problems and killed after the 2006 model year. Sources say Suzuki is designing a Verona-sized sedan that could be on sale here for the 2010 model year.
Grand Vitara: The small SUV is due for a freshening for the 2009 model year. A hybrid version may be available by the 2010 model year.
XL-7: The vehicle was redesigned for the 2007 model year; no more major changes are planned.
Pickup: Suzuki's version of Nissan's Frontier small pickup goes on sale next year as a 2009 model. It will be built at a Nissan plant in Mexico.

Whoops, and i meant to add. Suzuki is backing out of the Daewoo business. They've decided to that 2009 will be the last for the GMDAT vehicles. But since the co-developed the Reno with Daewoo they will keep the Reno and the rumor from when i worked at Suzuki in 2005 was they want to drop the 2.2 ecotec in it. I'll tell you right now they give the reno eco power and i'll be all over that.
