1988 Suzuki Swift gti here......those early model Swifts were also rebadged as Holden Barinas here.
But the Japanese called them Cultus.
I don't think the Swift name was universal until around 2000 or something.
So if you're talking to other persons OS about a first series Swift gti they may think you're talking about a 2001 gti (or something like that).
Confused?

I was after looking at wikipedia......the Cultus is listed as being the Holden Barina for here, but we had actual early Suzuki Swift's (Cultus) as well![]()
