Known more for their motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles than road-going cars and trucks here in North America, Suzuki can finally stake a firm stand in the small-car market with an economy car that doesn’t actually feel like one.

The Suzuki SX4 comes in two flavors; one is an all-wheel drive four-door hatchback, the other is a four-door front-wheel drive sedan. Both offer everything you expect from a small car: small dimensions on the outside, a roomy interior and fuel-sipping mileage. However, this particular vehicle also offers you a fantastic driving experience as well as several luxury features that are found on more expensive automobiles.

The new Hayabusa will be available in Orange, Blue, and Black.

It’s not a particularly dramatic redesign for the ‘Busa, but it certainly looks more sleek and aggressive than the previous model (click on the pictures to enlarge): Continue Reading…
