Trouble is it really old now. It's been around for ages and ages. So No.

That's a picture of the new generation European Swift, not the current generation. It's supposed to be evolutionary, so it doesn't look much different from the current version, but it is slightly larger and has different mechanics and suspension.

I see a lot of these cars in Northeastern England where my mother lives. It's very popular.

It would be nice to see it here - I just hope I'd fit in it! It's not one of their larger small cars.

I dunno, still looks fresh enough to me. Especially since most folks over here likely haven't seen one, so the "Fresh Effect" will be in full force.

Plus, its a cutsey car and maybe that'll help it earn a niche. Suzuki needs something.
You can't just have your characters announce how they feel.
That makes me feel angry!

Yes you have good point, now they have dump the re-badge Aveo. They have nothing small to complete with the influx of small cars.
