All Cars, All the Time

Suzuki XL-7 Pictures
The Car Connection has a torrent (it's late, I can get away with that pun) of spy shots of the forthcoming XL-7 replacement. The new model will be based on the Theta architecture like it's stable mate the Grand Vitara but unlike the dimensional clones Equinox/Torrent, the two Suzuki models "bookend" the GM twins with the Grand Vitara being just a bit shorter and the XL-7 being longer. The article mentions "wood trim" but the interior shot is from so far away we can't really see that much. Perhaps they are referring to a shot not in the collection? Of course Theta is going in all directions as part of GM's "we sure hope crossovers are the next big thing" approach. We now have the Vue, Equinox/Torrent (they are so similar they don't deserve a comma), Grand Vitara and shortly the XL-7 replacement. In the future there is talk of Cadillac and Saab based Theta's.
