| Not many cars appear and disappear while leaving as little trace as did the Suzuki Aerio, which was sold in the United States for the 2002-2007 model years. Normally, I ignore such new cars when I'm wandering around the wrecking yards of Denver, but I'll break out the camera when I find something of historical significance— for example, an example of the final year of the GM J-body's 24-year run— or when I see a car that doesn't seem to exist on the street any more. This Aerio is such a car. The car used for the first seven years of Top Gear UK's "Star In a Reasonably Priced Car" series was a 2002 Suzuki Aerio (called the Liana, which was supposedly an acronym for "Life In A New Age," in Europe). This is the only Aerio most of us have ever seen. American car shoppers ran out of reasons to buy Suzuki cars, though Chinese buyers can still get a new Liana. Will anyone pull any pieces off this car before it gets eaten by The Crusher? Probably not.
