The Suzuki Alto has won the RJC Car of the year award for the first time in its 36 year history. It is not just the Turbo RS that has won car of the year it is the whole Alto line up. Honestly I am a big fan of all the models especially the Alto Lapin. I don’t care that it is marketed toward women. I love the styling.

Is it just me, or do I see a VW Up just here?

Technically it is also a Mazda, but surprisingly no Up! DNA in there

I had to look it up for comparison. You are right. The 2-door Up has a similar kink in the rear window; however, the 4-door Up does not.

Also Lapin for women? I still love it anyway...that being said, the Alto Lapin SS is for you! :)

Manual Lapins aren’t very common, but I would love an SS! :D

Can’t import one to Canada yet though...they only started being built 2003...

Thank you for introducing this cool version to me. I can get one in 13 years. On that same note the Cappuccino will be 25 next year!

You’re welcome! I really like the Alto Lapin SS.....looks like an angry puppy, haha! I’ve not seen a Cappucino or a Beat in person yet, but they are both on my list of Keis to import! (huge Kei car fan here!)

A fellow in the local Auto Club in the provincial capital that I take part in events for on occasion just imported a yellow Honda Beat to Nova Scotia, Canada not that long ago! Got it for really cheap too....like $3000 CDN including shipping and it’s not even in bad shape (other than the roof being a little rough)! 0_o (I go by Dagleykd on the Import Era forums)

The Suzuki Wagon R RR is the kei import I want to get for myself sometime...very affordable, fun enough, and still practical! Plus, for some reason, I like the look of them! :D
