Chunj - Is this your Ignis?
Discussion
Your Chunjness, having seen the advert for the new Ignis, can I ask your thoughts?
Are you disappointed that Suzuki have yet again stuck two fingers up at existing owners, & that the new model is only available to a select few preferred customers?
Do you think it will adversely affect the value of your cherished example?
Being built around a pressed steel monocoque & with a lighter aluminium gear stick and less any 6 x 9's in the parcel shelf, it promises to dial out the hedge seeking, tail happy nature of your fine example. Do you think all of the investment & R&D by Suzuki will bear fruit both dynamically & financially?
Thanks in advance.

disation of a proud name. It is nothing but Suzuki raping their heritage and slapping the name of an incomparable classic to sell some tawdry new metal. It is an abomination.I briefly drove an Ignis once. Many years ago in another, better life. The infamous 'Yellow Peril' - still not far off standard in those distant days!
And, while it was a fine experience, I sometimes wish I hadn't seen such riches.
Perhaps the past is best left where it is.
Alas! The gentle rain on the silent sea. The echoing call of the Artic Tern! The road - a fickle mistress.
And that fine, fine day!
Alas!

Mighty Chunj, if you are still with us what is your opinion of the new Aston Martin Valkyrie? I can't imagine it being as frugal, spatious or practical as the Ignis but it has some merits surely?
You wouldn't get people trying to race you, take your photo or worry about where you park it in the evening. Also if you just used it for shopping, tip runs etc then it would make every journey in the Ignis feel that little more special.

Could be restored by anyone with some basic mechanical skills.
Are you mad? The only people I'd want to restore my Ignis (were I lucky enough ever to own one) would be the heritage division at the factory. These cars need to be treated with the respect that only the original craftsmen that built it can give.

Sadly, the much loved Ignis has gone.
I lost it in a rather messy breakup.
It is now being driven by an ungrateful Polish woman.
If you see it, feel free to turn your back in disgust.
I weep for the Ignis.
What you have to remember with cars like this is that you were never the owner, you were merely the custodian waiting to hand it over to the next custodian. It does in fact belong to everyone who loves cars - to cherish and enjoy.I lost it in a rather messy breakup.

^^ That's very interesting.
Only recently a woman with a frown like a smacked pugdogs arse was seen at a local premium detailers remonstrating at the amount of swirls she could see in the paintwork of her car when she stuck her forehead right on the bodywork and shined a 2000 lumen torch at it.
I believe she was booking in for the Platinum Plus Extra Fandango (AKA Wash Extra)service with the free air freshener.
