Suzuki throws in the towel....

http://www.autofile.ca/News/838/Suzuki-Canada-pulls-the-plug-early?utm_campaign=outbraintest&utm_medium=outbrain

That they said they were staying after the US folded was 50/50....that they were going to have more new vehicles for 2014 after announcing they were packing it in in Canada was 10%.

The Suzuki dealer here in St. John's has already added the powersports products into the showroom....

Suzuki's have been pretty popular here and I see loads of Grand Vitara's and SX4's. Too bad they never brought us the Swift or the Jimny.

Sad to see them go.

Only on trade.   ;D

Retail, the car will be always worth something, but they have kicked your resale pretty hard by shutting dealers.

It's a great car with low kms and no ill effects from being stored for 4 years.  So far no big issues, so I'll drive it into the ground and save my pennies for something nice when it dies.  It's been a messed up summer health wise, so despite all of my daydreaming, now is not the time to spend $35,000 on a new toy...

Life will be long.  Meds are expensive.  Since the early August I have a $320.00/month pharmacy bill, and that's after the Government of Canada Health Care Plan pays 80%...

:( Sorry to hear. Hope its not a major detractor overall.

$320 a month is not the end of the world. This is a problem that can be fixed.

Since life will be long, I have only three words: git 'er done.

EDIT: maybe buy stock in some pharma cos

I am convinced there is a cure for HIV/AIDS but they are hiding it to make megabucks off of folks like me and many of my friends.

If that were true it would be on Wikileaks somewhere.

Good point...  But they are probably paying Wikileaks to STFU. ;-)

PS - everyone I know who is living with or has lived with cancer, along with their loved ones, feels the same way about the pharma industry and that condition.  It's like diplomacy/international relations.  Keeping the world messed up keeps a lot of people employed and makes big bucks for lots of companies.  Peace isn't profitable, just like cures for deadly diseases.

They would make more money by having a cure, and charging for it.
