Suzuki vs. Volkswagen: things get nasty

The acrimonious shredding of the agreement between Suzuki and Volkswagen has been made official, with Suzuki serving a legal 'notice of breach' after trying in vain to patch up the relationship.

Suzuki says it has not "received what we were promised" from Volkswagen, after the two entered into a partnership in January 2009, which at the time seemed both odd and justifiable in equal measure.
