The Coventry plant, where the 206 is made, has been the subject of much political manoeuvring in the past few years. A ÷£14.4m Government grant was offered in 2004 to help attract the production of new models, but the offer was not accepted, leading ultimately to the decision to close the plant this week.

We know Suzuki for its top-value small cars, but if you like two-wheeled transport, you will also be familiar with its superbikes. In an effort to combine the two, the firm has created the SXForce.

Based on the four-wheel-drive SX4 supermini, it drew the crowds at the Detroit Motor Show with its innovative interior controls (above) – handlebars borrowed from a motorbike! The basic dashboard has a central rev counter and is finished with carbon fibre inserts, while the seat trim is inspired by motorcycle leathers. The SXForce is powered by a 250bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.

Externally, it draws its inspiration from the forthcoming SX4 World Rally Car. At the front is a deep front bumper that features a gaping air intake to help aid engine cooling. Further visual tweaks include a bonnet mounted scoop for the intercooler, wider wheelarches and a massive carbon fibre rear wing.
