> [@355firebird](#): > > Sounds sweet, if that car was 300hp it would destroy many cars out there but 221 sounds weak. I don’t understand why a company that makes one of the best bikes put such a weak engine in all there cars. Then there is the Escudo Pikes Peak car. Where did that come from??? The escudo is actually a light truck. ---

No complaints. I’ve seen the car in person and did not mind the look all much. It is MUCH lighter than any other AWD car on the market. Toss a turbo into the mix, and it is a shit ton more fun than the new Imprezza. ---

I read that they are making it except it is something you have to order and suzuki has a specific company install the package. ---

I love this thing. I have wanted them to sell a turbo version since I heard they were making it awd. And the WRC car is holding up pretty well considering it’s their first season. ---

it has a pretty interesting awd system from what i read. i dunno if it can handle the torque. and the center of gravity has to be high in stock form. suzuki has a really baddass off-road motorsports program. a friend of mine looked into it because of his discounts working at a suzuki motorcycle dealership. suzuki has been sponsoring rally cars in canada for a few years (fourstar). Im all for turbo AWD 5 door’s. bring it. i can see them making it a factory performance parts package like TRD for toyota’s superchargers… if they only didnt have to market it as a “crossover” here to sell it. the WRC SX4 is baddass looking. i have been wanting one since i saw the first picture last year. 220 HP + 2900 lbs awd = decent wheels for me. ---
