2007 Suzuki XL-7





Face it, you can't wait until the New York Auto Show to see the new XL-7 from Suzuki. What's that? Oh, you can wait? Well, you don't have to! Here are a couple shots of the forthcoming model.

The official shots are in! Click here.

The new XL-7 will be based on GM's Theta architecture shared with the Vue/Equinox/Torrent trio. The development started long before GM's new "You're outta my life" attitude towards Suzuki. Given GM's sale of its stake, however, expect close cooperation like this to be less in the future. For example there are some rumors, I don't have a lot of backup on this, that Suzuki wasn't happy with quality of the GM/Daewoo sourced vehicles that it was selling. In any case you can check out Edmunds blog entry here and Auto Spies tidbit here.
