Suzuki's July 2006 Sales up Over Last Year BREA, Calif.--Aug. 1, 2006--American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) today announced sales of 8,030 units in July - an increase of 13 percent over July 2005. Year-to-date sales total 64,989, up 32 percent over the previous year. Suzuki's monthly sales records continue its recent sales momentum, which included record sales of 82,101 in 2005 - the best sales year in American Suzuki's 21-year history. ASMC's growth was led by the sales of its Grand Vitara, which sold 2,146 units, an impressive 675 percent increase over last year's numbers. The top-selling Forenza family of vehicles also contributed to Suzuki's record month, with 4,446 units sold in July. "Suzuki's record-setting sales pace puts American Suzuki on track to continue our growth in 2006," said Koichi Suzuki, president of American Suzuki's Automotive Operations. "The sales success of the Grand Vitara and the Forenza models, combined with the scheduled launch of two new Suzuki vehicles later this year (the all-new Suzuki XL7 SUV and the all-new Suzuki SX4 with standard all-wheel drive) positions American Suzuki for a successful sales result this year." Suzuki's expanding product line in the United States includes the media-acclaimed Grand Vitara, the popular Forenza sedan and Forenza Wagon, the five-door Reno, the Aerio and Aerio SX, the Verona and the Suzuki XL-7, one of the most affordable seven-passenger SUVs sold in the United States. In addition to the strong vehicle lineup, Suzuki automobiles feature America's #1 Warranty with its industry-leading 100,000-mile/7-year, zero deductible, fully transferable limited powertrain warranty.
