Thanks for that. It's how the whole package "feels" on the road that matters most of course.

Here it remains only a token loaded '09 four cylinder, and a raft of mostly loaded and notably "immobile" six cylinder '08's. Suzuki: sure hope you get the December incentives right....

Good idea: Specs of the single greatest improvement for '09?, the "All things old are new again" [***IDEA***] to bring back a FOUR CYLINDER engined "Vitara" model, (my name for it), include it's anti vibration balance shaft and new variable port fuel induction system. Maybe just fancy soundin' stuff there on paper, up until you get in and drive one and discover the overall goodness this imparts "to the seat of ... Read More

Spied: Suzuki Gets Aggressive It's a tall order By Paul Horrell "Suzuki plans to triple North American annual sales from 80,000 to 250,000 in five years. That's a tall order because it means biting into Hyundai's and Kia's growth. But the company plans to roll out a fleet of imaginative new vehicles to help it succeed, according to Hirotake Ono, board member in charge of U.S. and European marketing. First up ... Read More
