I can't believe I actually read this whole thread. I gotta turn off this computer and go for a ride.

See 'ya!

Just for PostHuman I think we should change it to "New, (2007): Suzuki-s?"

I believe that the pluralisation of Suzuki is indeed the point in this case. Rather than Suzuki the company it is describing Suzuki the motorbicycle, in which case to pluralise Suzuki would surely be correct as Mike has featured more than one model of Suzuki motorbicycle in the article on the Suzuki 2007 range?

My personal feeling, at this time, would be to endorse the solution proposed by yourself.

Maybe we should ask Mike his original intent when forming the headline?

As far as I'm concerned, the people who don't care and/or don't know enough English to understand the error should stay out of the thread instead of poo-pooing on those of us who do. Professional writers and editors know the difference, and I expect them to fix the inevitable error or typo.

"The new 2007 Suzukis" is correct, as noted. "Suzuki's new 2007 models" is also correct.

No worries. I'm probably a little bit more touchy than I should be, and I may have snapped at you more than I meant to.

Sorry for being a "dog".

It's like 3 degrees (what's that? 37 F?) and a chance the rain is going to be snow flurries this evening.
