I nailed a tree doing 70 in one of my Porsches back years ago....a curve came up and I accidently went straight...there was hardly any damage to the car...I clipped the same fender as that Suzuki...I busted a front reflector....dented the fender slightly...talk about well built //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif They don't build cars like they use to....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I drive a 2003 Suzuki Vitara all the time. I only drive it 'cause it's a standard and it's fun taking it to the lake and makin' fun of all the guys with the big trucks getting stuck, and I just maneuver my way around it all. It's a decent little vehicle.

I actually test drove a suzuki forenza and it wasn't all that bad besides the pick up, interiot, exterior and the seats. Besides that was a sweetttttttt car!

I dont even know why I test drove it. Doink!

You guys do understand the concept of crumple zones, right ? They're designed to crumple to absorb energy which would otherwise be passed onto the passengers thereby reducing the chances of suffering severe injuries in the event of a high-speed collision.
Crash both the car and the truck into a brick wall at 60 MPH and I guarantee that the driver in the car will be more likely to survive than the driver in the truck ...

^x2. I was going to mention this as well, but Jmac seems to have explained it better than I woulda. Still...suziki's **** regardless. For cars at least. I hear their motorcycles are pretty nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Umm, that fender ripping off like that had nothing to do with a crumple zone. It caught the bottom of my bumper and just ripped off like tin foil. I'm willing to bet they total that car out.

i agree with you. but as for the truck vs. car 60mph wall test..the truck will be safer. especially the older chevys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

automotive collision repair profession ftw

Chevy > Suzuki .

exactly.......truck vs car.....truck wins.......unless the car is a 70's caddy........I agree w/ ya on suzuki cars, but their bikes are THE BEST

Agree to disagree //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/escape.gif.52b661afb17bde1db0e0c7da97e75b38.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I dont know what it is but I have driven an 03 and an 07 gixxer and didnt care for either of em. Not sure why. I havent driven a busa though, so maybe thats where its at with suzuki.

Care to offer an explanation of why the truck driver will be safer ?

1. stronger metals in bigger vehicles to support larger loads of the engine, more cagro area, increased payload etc..

2. larger area to dispurse(sp?) collision impact force

some others..but i wanna eat.
