2002 Suzuki Aerio Road Test
Suzuki is positioned well when it comes to light sport utilities. The convertible Vitara, Grand Vitara and 7-passenger XL-7 hold their own in a fierce SUV market. But that said, what about cars? The popular Swift is gone as is the stylish Esteem sedan. The Esteem wagon is still available but, while attractive, it's beginning to look dated. Also, its interior design and execution is not quite up to the measuring stick needed to bat off the current crop of compact wagon competitors. What Suzuki needs is something entirely new.
