Suzuki China need to boost their range with something other than small cars.

The Aygo / C1 / 107 is a car that could really succeed in a China paying real world prices for fuel, but in such a tight money market buying the BYD Copycar for 20,000RMB less will mean Toyota will lose sales and I am sure they would not be happy about that.
