American Suzuki Motor Corp. says the new Verona midsize sedan has been delayed due to the need for a higher-horsepower V-6.
Tom Carney, American Suzuki vice president-sales, says the Verona's current inline 6-cyl. won't cut it in the ultra-competitive U.S. midsize sedan segment.
Carney says Suzuki is unsure when the next-generation Verona, which likely will see a name change, will debut.
