there's incentives already. A $199/month lease for 36 months. Replies to this message: rsholland (Sep 05, 2005 6:40 am) jchan2 (Sep 05, 2005 3:21 pm)

Replying to: jchan2 (Sep 04, 2005 3:32 pm) Suzuki has been a marginal player for years, and they're doing whatever they can to get more vehicles on the road. The way I view this lease as just another benefit for customers. Personally, I don't care for leases, but I can see how that might be attractive to many.   It could also be nothing more than a reaction to the high gas prices and the associated anti-SUV fever that is now so prevalent; just covering their butts, so to speak.   Bob Replies to this message: jchan2 (Sep 05, 2005 3:21 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Sep 05, 2005 6:40 am) true.   But the Grand Vitara isn't one of those full sizers that get 10 MPG and depend on low gas prices and America's desire for those large trucks to sell...   The Grand Vitara could actually be considered efficient when compared to say an Excursion or H2.   I guess Suzuki is trying to boost sales with this tactic, especially since its right after launch.
#16 of 1006 Anything... by navigator89 Sep 12, 2005 (11:15 am)
is efficient when compared to beasts like the H2, Excursion, Suburban.   Anyway, I saw a Grand Vitara in silver color the other day and it looks great. Suzuki seems to have a homerun on their hands.
#17 of 1006 Drove one ! by ecotrklvr Sep 12, 2005 (11:58 am)
Got a chance to drive a 5-speed manual 2WD the other day. There was only 1 4WD on the lot, an automatic - it was really jammed in, and I couldn't stick around for them to prep it.   Very nice looking, outside and in. Nice seats, great features for the $$. Fun to drive, as well - plenty of get-up-and-go. The only negative I found was, on the freeway, the engine is revving pretty high - like 3000 RPM at 65 mph. Never needed to downshift to 4th to pass anyone, but never felt like it would make a relaxing freeway cruiser. I have yet to try the 5-speed auto version, which should rev lower at this speed. It's only rated 23mpg Highway - kinda wished they made 5th a real OD, and gotten it up to 25-26mpg. Replies to this message: feelfroogy (Sep 19, 2005 12:19 pm)

Replying to: ecotrklvr (Sep 12, 2005 11:58 am) Really curious about these new vitara's. they just showed up at our dealers here (Utah) and I currently have an XL-7. I am hoping to get a new SUV that has more get up and go than that. Its good, but not as good as what I have previously had. Of course they were all sport cars. Anyone know if is better than the XL-7 or about the same? Worth the money, or no?
#19 of 1006 Wait for the XL-7 by joey2brix Sep 20, 2005 (8:01 am)
I think CAMI will start producing the Theta version of Suzuki's XL-7 next spring. If you need the 3rd row of seats or the 3.6L engine, I'd wait until then.
#20 of 1006 New Pearl White Purchased by packaging pro Sep 20, 2005 (7:20 pm)
I just bought a Pearl White 2006 w/ the Luxury Package 2WD. So far my only complaints are the lack of storage space and I realized the back brakes are Drums, not Disks. I came from a 2002 Altima and it had more storage, even in the trunk. I am hoping this is a reliable vehicle. I put about 25K per year. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
