BREA, Calif., March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) today announced it will reveal the North American version of the all-new 2008 Suzuki SX4 sedan at this year's New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). This exciting vehicle will join the dynamic Suzuki XL7 midsize crossover SUV, award-winning Suzuki SX4 compact sport X-over (crossover) and media-acclaimed Suzuki Grand Suzuki Vitara as an iconic vehicle that indicates the future direction of the Suzuki brand, and will deliver a sporty blend of driving excitement, comfort and performance.

With features and benefits derived from the highly acclaimed Suzuki Swift, Suzuki will debut the 2008 Suzuki SX4 sedan during its 2007 NYIAS press conference on Thursday, April 5, at 12:05 p.m., in the Suzuki display (#1215, Level 1) at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. ASMC introduces its all-new sedan on the heels of an impressive 2006, when the company enjoyed sales in excess of 100,000 vehicles for the first time in its 22-year history. Through February of this year, Suzuki sales have continued to grow -- and the new Suzuki SX4 sedan will help fuel further growth starting this fall.

"It'll be great to be back in a city with so much energy and vitality to unveil our latest vehicle to the North American market, especially since our future products themselves convey so much of that kind of energy and vitality," said Gene Brown, vice president of marketing and PR, ASMC. "The Suzuki SX4 sedan continues to reflect the Suzuki DNA that was established in many markets by the popular Suzuki Swift, and we're excited to have the SX4 sedan joining our wide-ranging line of versatile vehicles."

2008 Suzuki SX4 Sedan

Introduced globally at the Geneva Motor Show earlier today, the 2008 Suzuki SX4 sedan will make its North American debut at the NYIAS in April. The all-new Suzuki SX4 sedan being unveiled in New York will be built in Japan and features a versatile, four-door design along with a sophisticated 2.0-liter DOHC engine that delivers 143 horsepower.

With its contemporary styling, roomy interior and high-output engine, the all-new Suzuki SX4 sedan delivers stylish comfort with excellent driving dynamics designed for those who lead an adventurous life. The sedan's design incorporates a rounded dashboard with a high roofline to enhance interior space and visibility.

Many features of the Suzuki SX4 sedan are inherited from the Suzuki Swift, including aspects of the suspension and brake systems. Like the Suzuki SX4 X-over, the sedan features a rigid body structure and suspension settings designed for outstanding performance. Customers in the United States will have the choice of a five-speed manual transmission or an available four-speed automatic transmission, and can buy the vehicle starting in the fall of this year.

First Drive: 2007 Honda Civic GX

Previews Greenie spendthrifts wanted: A heavier, slower Civic with a smaller trunk. Oh, yeah, and it costs 50 percent more. Never mind that we in Michigan are just emerging from our igloos after a long cold winter. The world is heating up, the ice caps are melting, and when that melt is complete, we’ll all be living high in the mountains in houses on stilts to stay dry. Forty days and 40 nights the waters will rage, and when the ice caps refreeze, we’ll all be fighting over who called first dibs on those last two pigs for our celebratory barbecues, since the unicorns were already eaten by sharks. There are people who would argue that that sinister little creation, the automobile, is responsible for it all. We blame Al Gore, China, sweatshops, and greenie celebrities who flit about in private jets. Those who want to make a difference drive hybrids, while those who researched their decision drive diesels. Those who are truly enlightened and want to make a difference, however, seek someth...

NAIAS Detroit 2007: Volkswagen continues BLUETEC offensive

Volkswagen is presenting the Concept Tiguan SUV study at the North American International Auto Show. In the first half of next year the series version of the “Touareg’s little brother” will be debuting in the US. The Tiguan is being advanced as a significant component in Volkswagen’s model range in order to expand the market position in the US. Moreover, Volkswagen expects additional US growth starting in 2008 from the market launch of the cleanest TDI of all times. The introduction of the Turbodiesel direct injection engine equipped with a NOx secondary treatment system is taking place as part of the BLUETEC offensive in the latest Jetta– the most successful car in America from a German manufacturer. European injection technologies are increasingly convincing US customers: In 2006 Volkswagen of America had sales 4.9 percent above the previous year. This corresponds to 235,140 vehicles sold in the US. The positive signs for 2007 include the Eos being offered for the first time over an ...

Ford Offers Sneak Peek at New Mondeo

BRENTWOOD, England — Ford has released teaser images of its new Mondeo in advance of the car's world debut at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. The vehicle should be of major interest to U.S. buyers, even though the car initially will only go on sale in Europe this summer, since it is one of several vehicles under consideration by the Dearborn automaker for launch in America. Just as Saturn has done with the Astra, sister car to the Opel Astra, Ford is taking a hard look at whether its European models, such as the Mondeo , would be appealing to American buyers who have shown a decided distaste for products like the Ford Five Hundred. The Five Hundred was recently renamed the Taurus in a bid to boost the vehicle's showroom traffic. The Mondeo is said to be one of several vehicles being studied for a U.S. launch at the behest of Ford's new president and CEO Alan Mulally. The new Mondeo goes upscale, apparently adopting design cues from sister brand Jaguar. It will be offered in ...
