   WHAT:     American Suzuki welcomes the arrival of the first shipment of

             cars are the first of nine new models to be introduced in the

             sales by 2007.

             America's (DMA) request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
             seeking to prohibit GM and Suzuki from importing and
             distributing in the U.S. cars bought from GMDAT.
