See above, Swift+ = Chevy Aveo
- M4H
Op wanted a Swift with 1.6, Swift plus is 1598cc... I call that close enough.
I agree, my point is why drive to Canada to buy an Aveo when he can get one locally?
- M4H
The man wants a Suzuki Swift, not a Chevy Aveo. Who am I to argue?

Ok, I went through this entire thread. I visited the website. I looked at the pictures and I read the information about the car.
I still don't understand what all the fuss is about...?

That's one of the odder arguments i've ever seen as to why yanks love SUVs and HUUGE sedans
FYI, much of the rest of the developed world has cities of similar street dimensions
Try driving a Hummer H2 around Europe, or even in Asia - tell me how well it fits
Last time i visited the UK the roads seemed pretty normal, and as far as i'm aware most of Europe is pretty normal too
Then there's Australia, New Zealand, most of Africa, the Middle East, Russia...hmm
Dug - have you sent any time in the US outside of major metropolitan areas? I've lived in Panama, Turkey, and Germany, and I find it hard to believe their roads or transit systems could support the myriad of Hummer sized SUVs found in the US.
Face it - much of the US is made up of urban sprawl. Until the recent gas price hike, we have had no need for smaller vehicles.
Yes, more than likely far more than you, and i think you are full of it
I'm not going to get into this pissing contest, just so you can boost your ego and confirm your anti American viewpoints. The fact is, the transportation systems in most of Europe, Asia, and Latin American could not support the vehicle market makeup we have in the States, thus, making it necessary and convenient to own a smaller vehicle.
If you're making the claim, back it up.
Road planning codes?
I can't see the anti-americanism, but anywho
Well, you are rather daft. I've been all over the World, and I can tell you that American roads tend to be wider in the City and sometimes on the highway. Now, obviously, the older the city the more likely it is to apply. Cities that have been around for centuries tend to have issues preserving the natural geography and buildings, so the roads are a bit more narrow. On the highways in first world countries it is a near wash. The autobahn is pretty similar as the highway in the US. The autostrada as well. Now, go to somewhere like Colombia where the roads are but an afterthought. The rumor is that Bogota's mayor owns a paving company. How else can they explain the millions of potholes that appear overnight? The highways are pretty crappy as well, although there are some that aren't so bad. Needless to say, there are not many big trucks or hummers that don't struggle in concentrated urban areas around the world.

Rather daft? There's a VAST amount of the world you seem to have forgotten
The argument that you drive vast SUVs because you have a reasonably low population density doesn't hold, otherwise we'd be driving semi-trailers
