Injini kwindawo yangasemva, ivili elingasemva, izihlalo ezibini, iingcango zephiko lengabangaba, ubunzima obungama-720 kg kuphela… Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ivakala njengenkcazelo yemoto yokhuphiswano, akunjalo? Ngoko masiqhubeke. 660 cubic centimeters kunye 64 horsepower. Ewe... amahashe angamashumi amathandathu anesine?! Kuphela?!
Amandla angaphezu kwaneleyo kumaxesha okuzonwabisa kwivili - njengoko siza kubona ngezantsi. Wamkelekile kwihlabathi leemoto ze-kei, iimoto ezincinci zaseJapan, icandelo elingekho kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Idalwe ekuqaleni ukuvuselela ishishini leemoto zaseJapan emva kweMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi, eli candelo lihlala "liphila" unanamhla.
Xa kuthelekiswa neemoto eziqhelekileyo, iimoto ze-kei zinezibonelelo zerhafu ezivumela ixabiso eliphantsi lokuthengisa kuluntu, kwaye zisisombululo esifanelekileyo kwizixeko zaseJapan ezixineneyo.
Njengoko lo mboniso bhanyabhanya utyhila, iimoto ze-kei azikho nje abahlali besixeko esisulungekileyo kunye nezithuthi zomsebenzi. Bakwadale oomatshini abanomdla abancinci. I-90 ngokungathandabuzekiyo yayiyeyona inomdla kakhulu ngeli nqanaba.
Kwesi sibini sangoku, iSuzuki Cappuccino yeyona nto yaziwa kakhulu - abanye bade bafika ePortugal. Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni weMazda MX-5 eye yashwabana kwaye ingekho kude kwinto eyi Cappuccino.
