2008 Suzuki Equator Illustration Is For Real

That corner of an illustration we brought you of the 2008 Suzuki Equator is apparently for real, so we've decided to bring you the full monty.

We mentioned the Suzuki-Nissan deal many moons ago, but it looks as though we've finally got some details on the first American impact. Suzuki has announced that Nissan will start building the company a midsize, Frontier-based pickup in their Smyrna, Tennessee plant. No name or real details yet, but we're guessing they're going to call it the Milanera. Any guesses on the name? Artists rendering above, press release below: More »
