The Lexus LFA and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG are about as different in approach and ability as a muscular sprinter is from a sinewy long-distance runner. It’s a clash of characters along the lines of a Suzuki Hayabusa sportbike taking on a BMW K1300S, a Moog synthesizer compared with a Steinway piano, or techno music as opposed to Beethoven. This is a little surprising when one compares the almost identical DNA of the two supercoupes. Both cars are front-engined; are powered by high-revving, normally aspirated engines; feature a well-balanced transaxle layout; rely on lightweight body structures; and make do with nonadjustable suspension and steering setups.

We’ve already learned that VW might be interested in building a low-cost, Japanese version of the Up! but now it seems that the Germans are also eyeing Suzuki’s crossovers, particularly the next generation of the SX4.

Suzuki may be a small player in the global automotive scene– but they’re a brand that’s big on fun and recreation, not to mention responsible for some of the most highly sought-after products in the enthusiast off-road community. The Japanese manufacturer has a history of building some solid vehicles, and they’ve got extensive experience with 4×4 and utility models, too. If you know an avid weekend off-roader, chances are they’ve got some kind of Suzuki related story about a Sidekick or Samurai that still bombs around in the dirt reliably.
