Suzuki may have been forced to pull out of the American market, but this setback allows them to focus on the models that have been successful. For Europe, that means small cars… really small cars.
The Swift has recently received a refresh for 2013, gaining things like LED daytime running lights and new paint options. But what if you really want a cheap car. Used as a cheap rental, a pizza delivery car or simply a very small car with no frills, the Suzuki Alto has enjoyed a good run.

Technically, the Alto is based on a Japanese kei car, the model originally revealed in 2008 is getting replaced by a new one that uses tech from the new WagonR, launched last year in its domestic market.

A prototype for what appears to be an all new Suzuki Alto has been spotted on a truck in Southern Europe. The Alto si actually made by Maruti in India, where it's known as the A-Star.

We've heard that Suzuki will be increasing the car’s dimensions to make it a bit more spacious than the current generation. The new Alto will have updated styling and interior equipment, plus the 1-liter K-series engine believed to deliver emissions as low as 80 grams per kilometer.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
