Who else is pissed about the Suzuki Equator?

[Andy4106]

i think with the building truck thing they are trying new things, it will probably help the market a little for our trucks. just like chevy and gm guys. same **** different name.
it will do some good, im not really a big fan but hey why not give it a try. and with the dodge titan thing, is because nissan is building the ram for dodge in mexico hahahahaha.
i read some inline story on it. was a joke but informative.

lol exactly; I'vs seen the new Maxima comercial so many times I have that song stuck in my head. Don't get me wrong, its a sweet car, but I would get so much more excited to see an actual Frontier commercial.

As far as the Equator, I guess Im like many on this thread, if it helps our aftermarket then it is ok w/ me.

I might buy one used, cause they will have way lower resale..

I am gonna buy its leather seat skins b/c they look to be the same frontier seats but in two-tone leather and I am going to see what else I can use.

I havent either. When i think suzuki the first thing that pops to mind is garbage.

maybe if your refering to there cars but as far as bikes, they make very good motorcycles.

Remember the Suzuki site is still showing only the auto show units and not the production units. If Suzuki offers different accessories for our trucks, then it will be a big plus for us. Here is a link from “Automobile”, but is this the finial version? or will Suzuki add more.

Dodge will only be making the Titan

Too funny. An American company building a Japanese truck in Mexico. The last bit might be a stretch but Dodge builds some (most?) of its trucks in Mexico so I thought it was funny.

What might be good is if Suzuki offers a diesel version over here whereas Nissan hasn't. I would love to have a diesel in my truck.

wont happen, nothing about the truck is suzuki, the truck is a nissan with cosmetic differences and maybe a little different packaging of options but likely nothing major that the frontier already doesnt have. since nissan doesnt put their diesel in anything over here, they simply dont have the engine to put in the equator, plus, if they bring the diesel over, it will end up in the frontier too.

i'm so pissed right now...

i'll be trading my frontier...

getting the EQUATOR!

and just to get back at nissan, i'm putting on my titan swap and Nismo sticker on the Equator!

haha,

hmmm, on second thought i might actually do this for real, but not the sticker...

or maybe wait for the Nissan Samurai..

Per the article "The new front and rear treatments are handsome and an improvement on the Frontier's look". WTF? Fark you David Gluckman, the Frontier looks way better than the Suzuki. The Suzuki front looks like the fluffy, round, bloated pig of a Tacoma if you ask me. Another reason I went Frontier over Tacoma . . . . cosmetic design appeal . . . or more simply put LOOKS. Anybody else feel slighted by that comment?
