Suzuki Unveils Trucks & Car Influenced By Bikes

http://www.motorcycle.com/images/news/tn_Suzuki_SXForce_1.jpg American Suzuki unveiled a new midsize pickup truck with design influences impacted by the company's recreational and powersports products at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. In the accompanying photo of the RMZ-4 model of the Suzuki Equator we can see clearly that the RM and RM-Z line of Suzuki motocross machines are the truck's inspiration. Though Suzuki has made four wheel machines for a number of years, this is the company's first foray into the truck segment. Suzuki teamed with Japanese auto giant Nissan for the project. Known for its successful Frontier line of midsize pickups we can also see Nissan's influence with styling that echoes that of the Frontier. A model variation of Suzuki's SX4 Sport sedan called the SXForce should appeal to all you sportbike fans out there. The SXForce pays homage to the venerable GSX-R1000 with "a striking blend of carbon fiber, Flash Pearl White and Orange Metallic paint," and "a number of performance-based automotive parts and stunning motorcycle accents, including sportbike-style side rearview mirrors and dual exhaust, also found on the championship-winning GSX-R1000."

must be a pain in the butt to make a u-turn w/a steering wheel like that.

do you countersteer?? Um, go ahead and try it out and let me know how it goes..:lol:

I like the truck they showed, as long as it has a steering wheel :headshake titus

Why would they have the clutch and brake and accelerator still on the floor?

well i guess the onlything i can say is, if u DO crash it, ill bet ull probably never end up needing to replace (or scratch for that matter) the bar ends:laughingr

Does the truck come with a jack for the spare tire, or do you have to use a MASSIVE rear-stand?
