6 speed. Oooohh. I'd like to see the extended cab version.

Its built by Nissan so are they just reskinning a Frontier the way they do a Ford Ranger to make it a Mazda B Series pickup ?

It looks a bit too...retro; almost like it could use whitewall tires.:)

Move along folks, nothing to see here. Old dog... not so new tricks... just keep walking.

The article pretty much says that the Suzuki will be based on the Frontier.

We can't be snooty, though, because a Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo with a Honda motor & tranny & Isuzu "skinned" the 1st generation Odyssey. (If memory serves, the inimitable & unlamented Chevy LUV was an Isuzu...)

Ugh. This gives me only one degree of separation between Chevrolet & Honda. I think I need to go take dramamine...

Or a laxative to get the taste of the thought out of your head...

what's the problem with that? The Frontier is a capable truck. If Suzuki does their typical scheming it'll be priced a few thousand less than the competitors and give a better warranty.

So what about when Hyundai comes out with their truck? :) They do have a capable V8 powerplant (see new Genesis car)

Believe it or not I had one of those back in the late '70s. Kinda fun to drive, but you could almost watch the damn thing rust out.

I like the black tires :)
