BREA, Calif. -- (July 3, 2006) -- American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) today announced sales of 9,516 units in June – representing an increase of 28 percent over June 2005 and marking the best June sales in company history.  Year-to-date sales for the first six months of the year, which total 56,959, are up 36 percent over the previous year.  Suzuki’s monthly and half-year records continue its recent sales momentum which included record sales of 82,101 in 2005 – the best sales year in American Suzuki’s 21-year history. 

ASMC’s growth was led by the sales of its Grand Vitara, which sold 2,514 units, an impressive 606 percent increase over last year’s numbers. The top-selling Forenza family of vehicles also contributed to Suzuki’s record month, with 4,772 units sold in June – an 11 percent increase over 2005. 

“Suzuki’s record-setting sales during the first half of the year, following the outstanding first quarter result, demonstrates Suzuki’s positive sales momentum and puts us on-track to sustain our growth throughout 2006,” said Koichi Suzuki, president of American Suzuki’s Automotive Operations.  “With the increasing popularity of the 2006 Grand Vitara, the continuing sales strength of the Forenza models and the excitement surrounding the two new vehicles (all-new 2007 XL7 and all-new 2007 SX4) set for introduction later this year, American Suzuki is in position for a successful sales effort this year.”

Suzuki’s expanding product line in the United States includes the media-acclaimed Grand Vitara, the popular Forenza sedan and Forenza Wagon, the five-door Reno, the Aerio and Aerio SX, the Verona and the Suzuki XL-7, one of the most affordable seven-passenger SUVs sold in the United States.

In addition to the strong vehicle lineup, Suzuki automobiles feature America’s #1 Warranty with its industry-leading 100,000-mile/7-year, zero deductible, fully transferable limited powertrain warranty.[/code]
