The Suzuki Splash to be introduced at the Paris Auto Show next month.

Looks ready for a Chevy grille.

It's the bastard son of a Smart and a Yaris.

It's called "splash" because that's the sound the design inspiration makes when it hits the toliet water.

This reminds me of MDM's chop:

I actually like it. It's obviously much too small to sell in the US.

wasnt there a GM concept from the late 80's to mid 90's called the splash?

opps im worng im thinking of the 88 Ford Splash

and there was the 1989 Pontiac Stinger a rip off of the splash i think

I wonder if this is on the new Daewoo developed global platform or a Suzuki platform?

Ugly as sin. That Audi-esque style Edsel nose is NOT flattering

to this car. Why do designers lack any sense of originality so

often and instead just mix-N-match current trends?

I assume they aspire to this masterpiece of modern automotive design:

This is definitely the best automotive Splash, I think! The front end reminds me of the GM Sequel concept car (one I like a lot), and while its a bit tall, it is stylish.

Here's a photo of the actual concept, just released:

I'm thinkin those side mirrors aren't going to hold up to U.S. regs....

If Ford's grille looks like a Gilette, this thing looks like a Norelco.

As much as this design sucks, it does have some nice headlights. LEDs open up some interesting lighting possibilities.

I like the tires on that Ford Splash concept, they've got a cool tread pattern.

I get a reptile vibe from these headlights.

Well... other than the grill, I think it's sort of cute.
