I didn't realize they were making a fwd version of the 5-door. I'm gonna have to go check it out. I've always liked the car, but never considered it because of the hugely unnecessary and mpg killing awd.

Re: 2009 SUZUKI SX4: NAV Standard

I don't think this speaks to the 'new era' so to speak in vehicle/technology integration as much as it does to Suzuki's attempt to reestablish themselves in the NA midsize market in 2010.....they're going to need to really build themselves up and get it together by the time their Kizashi 3 concept reaches production......this is a decent start IMO.

Your Humble Narrator reviewed the SX4 sedan in the Reader Car Reviews section. Nice little package, they're advertising them for 13 grand now with automatic and air.
