2010 Suzuki Equator look

Under the tough-looks hood is a 152-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a 261-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-six. Transmission choices are a five-speed automatic and a five-speed manual. Fuel economy ratings reach 15-19 mpg city and 19-23 mpg highway. Power and fuel economy ratings are strikingly similar to the Nissan Frontier, while V-six power beats the Toyota Tacoma and both metrics are competitive with the two base motors of the Chevrolet Colorado.

Passenger room metrics are generally at the front of the pack with the four-door Crew Cab, while the smaller Extended Cab is also spacious. The Extended Cab comes with a long six-foot-three bed, while the Crew Cab is available with either the long bed or a five-foot bed. Wheels are available in 16- and 17-inch diameters. Flip-up rear seats and a fold-flat front passenger seat help you make the most of cargo or passenger room inside the cab.

This Suzuki would have probably been the car of the year if Suzuki had a larger advertising budget. The truth be told that the S is a sleeper. Starting at under $20,000 for a well equipped base model and $26,000 for a loaded Sport version, these sedans are comfortable, fun to drive, and we squeezed out over 32 mpg in our extended stay with the Kisashi (Kee-Zah-Shee).

Why extended? Because the horrendous weather that was pelting the area was making testing difficult. Nevertheless, despite the snow and rain the Kizashi always felt sure footed and safe.
We were hard pressed to tell we weren’t driving an Audi or Accra based on its fit, finish, and handling dynamics. Okay, we exaggerate a little, but if you like to drive, and not be driven, this Suzuki is much more enjoyable than the traditional sedans.

Suzuki’s SX4 models compare adult surprisingly good opposite budget-priced vehicles from other brands, charity clever value for a income and a pleasing, ample package deliberation a really compress exterior. The 2011 Suzuki SX4 Crossover is again a lowest-priced automobile of a form with all-wheel drive.

While a Suzuki SX4 sedan competence seem a tiny too bold and truncated during a back, giving it an anonymous, rather high look, a extraneous of a SX4 Crossover and a sportier front-wheel-drive twin, a SX4 SportBack is many some-more distinctive. The SX4 sedan, on a other hand, will disappear immediately in a sea of china subcompacts found in any mall parking lot.

Ferrari 612 comfort

The 612 Scaglietti epitomizes Ferrari’s talent for innovation and design, perfectly melding a cabin capable of accommodating four occupants in comfort with the beautifully balanced body of nimble, sporty front-engined rear wheel drive Berlinetta, to offer unprecedented onboard comfort. But make no mistake about it: the 612 Scaglietti isn’t just another 2+2. Its more a two-door four-seater that never feels anything less than sumptuously comfortable and roomy no matter what the driving conditions.

The curve of the wheel-arches, the bonnet, cabin and tail, in fact, lend it a beautifully aerodynamic thoroughbred grace. But what give the 612 Scaglietti a real touch of character are its scalloped sides, a styling cue borrowed from the legendary 375 MM bought by director Roberto Rossellini for actress Ingrid Bergman.
