What’s been Suzuki’s worst moment?

-

Suzuki has been through the ringer lately ™ a ‹ partnershi­p with VW started off promisingl­y the German firm taking a ‹ per cent stake It was to end in acrimony a mere two years later though as Suzuki entertaine­d fears it was being taken over by stealth It took a visit to the Permanent Court of Arbitratio­n in The Hague for the deal to be fully dissolved in ‹ ƒ and Suzuki jumped in with Toyota in ‹  A positive end to a bad decade that saw the firm withdraw from the US in ‹ ‹ due to poor sales

Still not Suzuki’s worst moment Someone had the bright idea of making a sports car that was easy to live with and a tentative concept was brought to the Tokyo show in – Inexplicab­ly shoved into production the X“ was a disaster Slow rubbish to drive unrefined and unreliable it was a sales flop and Suzuki killed it off after a year and a half Now to be found lurking in the middle of ‘worst cars ever’ lists across the internet
