2008 Suzuki SX4 Sedan Preview

The impressively funky Suzuki SX4 gets a sedan sibling by Thom Blackett



2008 Suzuki SX4 Sedan Preview –
New York Auto Show: Think of the last Suzuki ad you saw that didn't feature an SUV racing toward a motorcycle or an all-terrain vehicle romping around in the dirt. Chances are you can't, so don't hurt yourself by trying too hard. That lack of marketing makes it hard for shoppers to be aware of, let alone appreciate little gems like the all-wheel-drive SX4 wagon/crossover thing or its sedan sibling that will be arriving later this fall. Making its world debut at the Geneva Auto Show, the 2008 Suzuki SX4 sedan has the makings for a hit (albeit an unsung hit) if it arrives with the wagon's interior spaciousness, competent powertrain, and exceptional value.

Detroit Auto Show: 2008 Subaru Legacy and Outback

Subaru launched the 2008 Legacy and Outback models at the Detroit show, and while it's largely business as usual for the all-wheel-drive duo, there are a few revisions that the Subie fans amongst our readership might find interesting.

After its kid brother, the Impreza, has gotten a new face time and time again, the Legacy and Outback have now gotten their turn under the knife. Sheetmetal up front is the biggest change for 2008. The Legacy gets a new, bigger, chromed-up grille; restyled bumpers front and rear with shorter overhangs; and new headlights and taillights. The Outback gets a bigger, more upright and rugged-looking grille, plus restyled fenders, restyled hood and new wheels. Stability control will be offered on more models, and a tire pressure monitoring system becomes standard. Both models also get some revised features inside.

The 2008 model year also marks the debut of the range-topping Legacy 3.0 R, transplanting the 3-liter DOHC 245-hp Flat-6 engine that's already under the hood in its Outback sister car. Paddle-shifters for the 5-speed auto are also new, and the car bobs and weaves on a Bilstein suspension setup. And while it may not have the clout of a premium German badge, the 3.0 R makes a compelling case against the usual suspects from Europe.

Hyundai i800 on sale in June (UK)

Updated: 24/04/08

Forget about the popular Volkswagen Caravelle, if you want value for money, then this is just your type of MPV.

The Hyundai i800 (H-1 in oversea markets) is a 8 seater minivan and will go on sale in the UK with a starting price tag of £17,000 rising to £20,000, so expect to see value for money. High grades will see a satellite navigation system, leather seats, parking sensors, ICE for rear passengers and multi-zone air conditioning.

Under the hood will be a 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine developing around 168bhp and 289lb ft of torque. Expect a 5.1 metre mono-cab commercial variant called the i50M later on in the year.

Dear readers, please excuse my hiatus. During the last 16 days, the PC I’m using has become unresponsive. Please bear with me as I’m sorting out the problem

Thank you
