Suzuki Reno: Look familiar?

Post by ragingfish »

No, not the Vibe.But looks a lot like another car on the road... If you guessed Mazda3, then you're right on the dot!
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

Confuscius say: "No design so good that competitor not steal it."IMHO the Suzuki design has an awkwardness that is common to someone copying an original without truly understanding the relationship of the parts to the whole.

Come to find out, it is a Daewoo... http://www.autosite.com/Review...o.aspQuote »It’s happening, thanks to an assist from the bankrupt Daewoo – which originally designed the Reno – and the GM Daewoo Automotive Technologies plant in Korea, where the cars will be assembled.

I think that from the front it looks like a Civic Si, from the back like the Mazda 3 wagon.
