THE ALL NEW 2008 SX4 SEDAN Air Conditioning / Power Windows / Power Locks / Power Mirrors / Remote Keyless Entry Suzuki offers truckloads of fun at 2008 North American International Auto Show After a fourth consecutive year of increasing sales, Suzuki Auto carries enormous momentum into the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). With the Motor City serving as a backdrop, Suzuki showcases its X-HEAD concept, a completely contemporary vision of off-roading built on Suzuki's 40-year history of credible off-road architectures. The Suzuki X-HEAD, making its North American debut at NAIAS this year, combines form and function, with a healthy dose of "cool factor", using purpose-built modules for various active lifestyles. In addition to the go-anywhere X-HEAD, Suzuki will showcase the SXForce, a sportbikeinspired concept based on the all-new 2008 four-door SX4 Sport that embodies the company's legendary motorcycle heritage. Suzuki also sports its entry in the World Rally Championship (WRC), a head-turning vehicle derived from the five-door SX4 Crossover that has received significant attention since being introduced at SEMA in 2007. Making its North American debut, the funky Suzuki X-HEAD concept cross-utility vehicle was built to offer serious off-road performance and was first seen globally at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. With flexibility and fun at the heart of its appeal, the X-HEAD concept offers adaptable stowage with diverse load-carrying capabilities and can be coupled with three distinct purposebuilt modules, including the "Camper," which allows two adults to sleep in comfort. X-HEAD also can be equipped with the "Fashion," which provides stylish urban mobility, or the "Rescue," which is designed for emergency search and safety operations. FINALI BEST N SMALL 2008 In Detroit, Suzuki showed its X-HEAD utility vehicle that has a wide range of uses. In the airy, functional cockpit, the X-HEAD includes many practical features designed for added convenience and comfort, including a rear vision camera with wide monitor display and neoprene seats with net sheets for waterproofing. And in case you find yourself in a precarious situation, the X-HEAD also comes equipped with a portable multi-utility toolbox that includes a combination flashlight/hammer. If preparedness is your motto, X-HEAD is your vehicle. The SXForce is one of the latest additions to Suzuki's media-acclaimed Suzuki LIVE Series (LIFESTYLE VEHICLES), a line of brand-dedicated concept vehicles specially designed for life enthusiasts, adventurers and thrill-seekers. Reinforcing the link between the company's rich motorcycle heritage and versatile line of fun-to-drive automobiles, the SXForce is a sportbike-inspired concept based on all-new 2008 SX4 Sport. Designed and built by Road Race Motorsports of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., the SXForce boasts a powerful 250 hp, 2.0-litre, turbocharged engine matched to a five-speed manual transmission.

Yet, there are still all the heritage cues ­ the round headlights, the seven-slot grille, the bolton style of trapezoidal wheel flares and taillights, the removable full-framed or half doors, the exposed hinges, the fold-down windshield and the choice of removable or convertible tops. Climb in and the high hip point and extra room gives the Unlimited a "trucky" feel and lofty vantage point, especially accented by a six-speed shifter that shakes with side-to-side, knee-thumping potential, vibrating like a junkie in rehab. Some of the instrumentation looks and feels brand specific but the rest of the off-the-shelf Chrysler issue equipment will please company bean-counters more than the interior designers. A totally dedicated style in Jeep character (a la MINI) would be preferable. But, even so, the Jeep Unlimited has enough funky offroad and utilitarian personality to compete with the HUMMER and Toyota FJ Cruiser bad boys. And in offroad Rubicon trim, as tested, with the big BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires howling and the engine straining as I worked the shifter through the gears, well, it was hard to keep the grin off my face. You know, sometimes at the end of my drive, just for fun, I would shift into 4LO, bump ahead and leave the Unlimited with the front wheels perched on top of the curbstone instead of just parked behind it. What can I tell you? It's a Jeep thing. And, yes, I understand. BAD CREDIT Everyone Deserves A Second Chance. We Can Re-establish Your Credit And Get You In A Vehicle And On The Road Today.
