I was wandering around Enthusia's menus and found the car license page. One part said:
Any racing models of Suzuki cars, as appearing in this game cannot be purchased from Suzuki dealers.
I haven't seen any racing Suzukis, are there any? Or is it just what Suzuki told to write?
 
The only Suzuki in the game is the Cappuccino, unless there's some non-playable Suzuki in the background scenery. It could be Suzuki's standard text for a license, or it could be interpreting a Lv10 Cappuccino with modifications as a "racing model".
 
I noticed that too a while back. I was crossing my fingers for a secret #212 car unlocking if you did everything in the game. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I think Wolfe is most likely on point with his speculation though.
 
This post made me check out the licensing credits to check the Suzuki disclaimer, but I think I found something that's also interesting
Honda [or Acura] Official Licenced Product. Honda. "H" logo, Acura, "A" Logo, Civic, Insight, Integra, NSX, Accord, Type-R, Type-S RSX, Beat, Odyssey, Mobili, S800, S2000, Fit, City (Turbo II), and the distinctive design elements of Honda products are trademarks and intellectual property of Honda Motor Co.. Ltd used with permission from American Honda Motor Co.. Inc All rights reserved.
Which is also weird since there are no Acuras in the game, only their JDM equivalents. And this only applies to Honda, as Nissan and Toyota's license disclaimers don't mention Lexus or Infiniti, even though they have cars in the game with Lexus/Infiniti equivalents. Plus, none of these brands are ever mentioned in their parent companies' Maker Profiles
 
The only Suzuki in the game is the Cappuccino, unless there's some non-playable Suzuki in the background scenery. It could be Suzuki's standard text for a license, or it could be interpreting a Lv10 Cappuccino with modifications as a "racing model".
Maybe they were planning to add more Suzukis to the game. I found it kind of weird that the only Suzuki in the game was the Cappuccino. Though, then again, it could be some weird mistranslation.
