What's with the Suzuki Areio Wagon

[kidkorrupt]

not to start s*** but you guys know that this has more HP than a stock p5 and has AWD right????

the body is ugly as heck but i wish my mp5 was AWD =(

I know this may be a little of topic, but I think that car is a pretty close competitor to our P5.

I was driving into work today and saw one on the road (finally). Man, that thing is soo ungly. I don't know what the Suzuki designers were thinking when they penned it. Ugh...

i think they were drunk on saki!

ahhhh considering your comment in the second paragraph....

just HOW do you consider it a CLOSE competitor? that POS dosn't hold a candle to the P-5. its a lame attempt to get into or a piece of a nitch market......that is about it.

 

[AlaskaP5]

Yeah, that sh*t-zuki does look pretty bad.

(pow)

 

[mypfizzle]

man my roomate was going to get that after i brought my p5 home.. after i labeled it the red headed stepchild of sport wagons he pretty much gave up..

 

[sundevilMP5]

i think that after the release of the P5 and seeing how good a car almost straight from japan could be marketed in the US, suzuki jumped on the bandwagon...the aerio is a basic design of most cars in asia...small, wierd looking, cheap...suzuki should stick with crotch rockets

 

[OrangeAppeal]

Sad thing is, one was sitting in the showroom at the Mazda dealership i'm buying my MSP from...they can't sell it...especially not sitting in a showroom with Mazda6 and MSP.

Yeah, they do make pretty good sport bikes. The cruisers are way ugly and the dirt stuff isn't that great either. They are making a killing on the naked bike SV650, tho. You wouldn't believe how many people race those things on the track.

If it's a Suzuki engined car that you're wanting, I suggest
this...

I've ridden in a real '69 Lotus Seven with maybe 120 whp and it was a go-kart. I can't even imagine what this thing would be like. I think it's the Hayabusa tranny too, so that means six speed sequential tranny.

Yes, but does it have an in-dash mp3 player?

 

[sundevilMP5]

or this...the escudo pikes peak

 

[Rotus]

Oh Yeah, I forgot about the Escudo. I've got one of those...OK, Gran Turismo on Playstation... ;-)

 

[LazerBlueP5]

I can see it now, a thread title in another forum around the block "Protege owners bashing Areio!" Sound familiar?

 

[Rotus]

Man, I saw another one today! That makes 2 in as many days. This one had a 'Thrify' rental car sticker on it, so I guess I'll let that one slide. I didn't know they were AWD. I knew they had the same size motor though.

 

[Humvee]

Yep - they look like a bastardized SMART car.

As for the AWD Mazda P5....I think it's been said before - but the price would jump a bunch, and then it'd compete with Suby buyers...and more than likely loose.

LazerBlueP5, i don't think they got the point
