If my calculations serve me correctly the TTPS would have received 194 suzuki grand vitara 2.4 4wd by now including the most recent tender won (2013 to present). I wonder what would be the new suv of choice since this model is discontinued? Would this new 1.6 model make the cut as a replacement? Time will tell. Anyone went to the event yesterday at the O2 park?

dont worry they will make up for it with absolute sheit service
2016 audi lineup overpriced to hell and back so they must treat it like a gold mine anyway


Are they up from 2015?

Don't really care about southern sales that much tbh. I lock them off

Saw a couple of new Mercedes Benz GLCs on the road today. I'm surprise sterling was able to get them so early.

BMW and Benz don't seem to take away production from TnT I find. We get the latest in these pretty quickly after launch.

I went, it looks nice, but smaller than I expected, definitely less height. I think the grand vitara is not going to be discontinued, its like the santa fe sport and the santa fe, similar names but two different sized vehicles.

Thought it was just me. And not much of an upgrade in design IMO. Especially considering it's been more than 10yrs since the last SGV? The front looks more like a facelift. :?
I know this doesn't replace the SGV. But still..
I'm sure if there's gonna be a new one, it'll just be a slightly bigger version to this.
That's the trend of automakers these days..

Actually ace, the 3G GV (2005 to present) hasn't been discontinued in this region (LATAM). It's gonna be around for a few more years due to its popularity in South America. Expect a few more face-lifts before the EoMY.

The TTPS chose the 2.4 version of the GV over the 2.0, its very unlikely they would choose the 1.6 for their required purpose.

Not bad. But imo the trax aint all that. Had one as a company rental in August in the USA with the same engine and transmission.
Pros:Nice interior space, nice to look at, nice responsive steering and brakes, bose sound system was awesome,nice cabin insulation.
Cons: Slow,very bad fuel economy in the awd version (best I got was 20mpg with mixed driving),soft suspension.
I'd take a vitara over it :lol: :lol:

Dealers aren't gonna drop prices so quickly especially when they would have paid 15% on their purchases

Dealers Don't pay vat on a vehicle until it is purchased by someone when they receive a cheque from a buyer they then prepare customs paper work and pay met duty and vat all vehicles are warehouse via a bond meaning no taxes paid it's like a draw down per say

Really? When I bought the jetta I needed a bonded vehicle. Dealer had lots that were not bonded and available for purchase, had to wait for the next shipment for them to keep one in bond for me. Same thing happened when I was looking at the tucson.

I think they only keep a few in bond every shipment, most they release and probably pay taxes on them. Keeping all vehicles in bond until they are sold would probably just increase the time it takes for delivery after purchase.
