thread_title: THIS ARTICLE IS SO SLOPPY!!!

message: The articles should be merged because they are all about the same vehicle marketed in different countries or by different companies.  The vehicle itself is basically the same regardless of name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bimotarich (talk • contribs) 04:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also STRONGLY disagree Suzuki Escudo & Suzuki Grand Vitara should not be merged. There are many differences between the two cars. They are even classified as seperate vehicles.~Hondasaregood 15:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging escudo/sidekick/tracker 

message: I do think the tracker article should merge with Suzuki Escudo because they are the same vehicle, mechanically. The Tracker is only a rebadged Escudo, and made by Suzuki. I agree this page should be merged.

replies: text: I agree, even though these (not allowed to call them that as it would be too politically incorrect to call them that word and it begins with F and has 6 letters) disagree and will use the lamest reasons to explain why. Willirennen 19:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  No merge.  The Suzuki Escudo has the 2.0 diesel engine, and Trackers never had a diesel.  They're not at all similar, except for some of the bodywork.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bushcutter (talk • contribs) 14:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

text: No merge.  They are different enough cars to warrant a different page.  --Reezy (talk) 01:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging Tracker with Suzuki escudo 

message: I do not think this is true. The Jimny Sierra (what the SJ413/Samurai is known as in Japan) continued production until 1998, when it was replaced by what was sold in export markets as the Jimny (Jimny Wide in Japan). --Zilog Jones (talk) 14:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The vehicle was a follow-up to the popular SJ413 and Samurai" 

message: There is no Suzuki plant in St. Petersburg, Russia (the project was frozen, then cancelled during the crisis), so Grand Vitara is not produced there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slightlym (talk • contribs) 06:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error in description

thread_title:  New Generation 

message: There are numerous claims in this article- all without providing any citations that the third generation Grand Vitara is somehow related to GM's Theta platform.
The GM Theta platform was first introduced for the 2002 model year as the Saturn Vue. I cannot find and sources from GM, Suzuki nor the automotive media stating that these two shared any co-development nor suspension components.
A cursory image search on Google would show that the front and rear suspension components, unibody chassis, and front and rear sub-frames are all significantly different; besides the fact that one is FWD and the other is RWD based. Absolutely nothing is shared.

This incorrect information has persisted in the article for several years and needs to be removed.
I believe that is should be explicitly stated that these Grand Vitara and GM Theta are NOT related.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.68.159 (talk) 06:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erroneous GM Theta platform similarities claim  

message: While the Grand Vitara is clearly not a Theta platform, and the general perception of a shared platform may result from confusion with the XL7, the statement now in this article that the "the two are completely unrelated and were developed separately by GM and Suzuki and share no components" conflicts directly with the Wikipedia article for the GM Theta platform, which refers specifically to shared components.
In the excellent research by the anonymous Talk contributor above, the unibody images show that the Vue and Grand Vitara structures are very similar at least in the rear, although the illustrations use different angles of view and different highlighting (the Grand Vitara image highlights more of the crossmembers) which exaggerate the differences. On the other hand, the rear suspensions are substantially different, supporting the suggestion that there are no shared components.

message: I am removing the CAMI Ingersol, Ontario assembly plant reference. The 3rd generation Grand Vitara was never build there. This can be verified from the CAMI website.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans Gruber01 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
