New Suzuki Swift Sport launch postponed

The launch of the new Suzuki Swift Sport was intended for spring 2011, but according to a report from a Japanese magazine, it has now been postponed until next autumn. The reason behind this has to do with engine improvements, as Suzuki aims to achieve 30% improvement in the fuel consumption. The engine will also feature a stop/start system and a decision regarding gearboxes has been made yet (manual or CVT).

A glimpse of the new Suzuki Swift 3-door

Those photos appeared on the net showing the 3-door version of the new Swift with a bodykit as well.

To be honest, I am curious to see how the Sport version will look like and I hope that Suzuki will equip it with a decent engine (direct injection, stop/start system and a DSG style gearbox... please).
