This is the new limited-edition Suzuki Swift 1.2 RS. And as you can see in the picture above it was designed by a 10-year-old car enthusiast using nothing more than a big piece of A3 paper and some wax crayons. The contrasting spoiler and side-skirts. The simple geometric decals applied liberally to the doors and roof. Those seat cushions 'jazzed-up' with some incoherent blue lines. The finished product is exactly what I would have penned 23-years ago. Amazing.

Now maybe this aesthetic is your kind of thing? If so then the new Swift 1.2 RS can be yours for R184 800. For the price Suzuki will also throw in electric windows, a radio/CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning and a multi-function steering wheel. Not to mention a two-year/30 000km service plan and two-year/100 000km warranty. Yep, if your inner-child is alive and well – or you're just tired of being a grown-up – then look no further.  – Thomas Falkiner
