Osamu Suzuki, the director and CEO of Suzuki, has confirmed that they are not in talks with Volkswagen for a small car alliance in which Volkswagen is going to invest. During the last week, there were rumors that Volkswagen was considering acquiring a 10% stake in Suzuki.
In an interview with Chunichi Shimbun, Osamu says: “Right now, we are not in contact with Volkswagen for this issue, and just like before, we are again becoming a victim of lots of rumors.”
With the unilateral withdrawal of AMG, it seems that the ongoing horsepower war has come to an end in Germany, as the coming Mercedes E63 saloon is not going to carry the ceaseless game of one-upmanship that caused problems for the fastest and biggest German saloons for quite some time. The proof is that you will find it only with 518hp and the torque of 464lb. Though it’s a real huge grunt, one can find more than 54bhp in the Audi RS6.
It was in May last year when the car was launched even knowing that anything below 572bhp wouldn’t be accepted. It seems that AMG accepted that limits knowing the fact that the increase in power wouldn’t offer the same kind of boost in its drivability.
