Suzuki officially confirmed today that it would add a new pickup truck in its vehicle line-up in late 2008. The yet to be named pickup will be based on the Nissan Frontier midsize truck and it will be built at Nissan’s manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tenn with production set to start in the fall of 2008. The vehicle will be marketed solely by Suzuki in North America. In 2006, Nissan and Suzuki Motor Corp. announced an agreement to expand the scope of their business collaboration and the midsize pickup is part of that agreement, which also included the supply by Nissan to Suzuki of the Serena minivan in Japan.

    What is the purpose? Mitsubishi can't sell theirs
    and Honda has had a hard time selling their pick up too.

    It reminds me of Mitsu and Isuzu where you can choose between one or two configurations and not have much to choose from.
    IF Suzuki would break the mold and put a Nissan Navara turbo diesel in this truck like they do in literally every other country in the world (Frontier=Navara everywhere else) where it gets over 30MPG and has enough power to pull a house off it's foundation. I'd be first in line to buy one.
    OK maybe not first but I'd rush over and order one.

    Frontier ≠ Navara by the way. The Navara is slightly bigger and only built in Spain. But you're right about the diesel engine.
