pics stolen from Simonr's camera :
I saw one of those "Fluoro Yellow" Swift Sports on the road the other day, "OMG it looked disgusting"..........why would anyone pick that colour?

The 207 GT and RC looks very nice from whats ive seen of it. The RC name isn't new and was the original name for the GTi180 in europe.

They're a Stupid car those Swifts.

A Pathetic attempt at Suzuki to bring back a cult car.

I haven't seen one in the flesh yet. Reckon they'll probably sell alright though given the numbers of the plain jane model that are getting sold.

It's new for Australia... Hence I said 'here'... not 'europe'

They had the Swift Sport at Centro Bankstown, and I prefer its looks, both inside and out to the Fiesta. Although a standard Swift lowered with rims looks a lot classier.

Remembering the Swift Sport is more expensive then any Fiesta.

Bring on the ST and I know which one I'd take...

I hope you mean 'Vibe' Photn.

And yea, it just didn't feel solid or bring a smile to me for sitting in it.

The Polo GTI was far superior interior wise, and it was just a cloth (non-leather) model!
