Sketchy Reports of Suzuki’s New S-Cross Concept

With the eagerly anticipated Paris Motor show on the horizon, the usual hubbub of activity from manufacturers across the world has already begun in earnest, accompanied by the obligatory drip-feed of press releases. It is now time for Suzuki to show their hand but they have remained firmly poker-faced over their latest creation.

What we can reveal is that Suzuki will be handing a world debut to a brand new crossover concept named the S-Cross in Paris this September. Presumably aimed at a similar audience as the steady if not spectacular SX4, few other nuggets of information can be gleaned at present besides the “Emotion x Quality x Aerodynamics” design theme, which Suzuki say is supposed to suggest stability and solidity whilst “creating a cutting-edge crossover look”. It would have been awfully decent of them to provide us with a proper glimpse of this intriguing notion, but instead all we can pass on to you is a lovingly drawn sketch straight from the designer’s note pad and a sinister, gloomy picture taken in the deepest, darkest corner of the workshop. Still, if they want to keep us in suspense, we’re quite happy to play the waiting game.

Nevertheless, we expect to hear more from Suzuki in the coming month and will bring you more details and images as soon as we get our hands on them.

 

 

Jaguar F-Type To Pounce At Paris Motor Show

The world has looked to Jaguar for a true E-Type successor for decades now. The machine that is arguably the most beautiful in the world captivated the public not only with its looks, but also with its performance. Jaguar announced the F-Type months ago and ever since the automotive world has been all a buzz. Now we learn that the Paris motor show gets yet another point of intrigue.

After months of camouflaged tearer images and video, the big cat is finally taking the dust sheet off of the production F-Type. Initially only to be available as a convertible, the new car will compete directly with Porsche’s 911 whilst undercutting the Germans price significantly. Engines will range from an all-new V6 to a 5.0 litre V8.

Sleepless nights commence…
