It's not the most attractive car but it looks loads better hunkered down like that and minus the roof rack. Spending that much on it though... I don't think so. Not when I can get a relatively low mileage '05-'06 WRX wagon for about $18k and way less. Plus, 221hp sounds good at first, until you remember that this thing weighs close to 3000lbs. Good effort, but kinda pointless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Franz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2008 7:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/road-race-motorsports-releasing-turbo-kit-for-suzuki-sx4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/road-race-motorsports-releasing-turbo-kit-for-suzuki-sx4/</guid><description><![CDATA[I actually think it looks a lot like the Mach IV Golf/GTI.

Not digging the two-tone paint, but everything else seems good.  I think it'd look best all white, even with some white wheels thrown in for good measure.  Plus it'd look more like their WRC car.  7psi of boost sounds kind of weak but I guess that's about the norm when talking aftermarket forced induction.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[speedball3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 22nd 2008 8:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/road-race-motorsports-releasing-turbo-kit-for-suzuki-sx4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/22/road-race-motorsports-releasing-turbo-kit-for-suzuki-sx4/</guid><description><![CDATA[Reading this article gave me flashbacks of my 1G DSM.<br><br>Go Road Rage Engineering!

Kudos to Suzuki Auto for following through on its "we're just as exciting as the motorcycle division" pitch, if belatedly, and perhaps insufficiently.<br><br>But that price! Take a $15,700 base SX4 hatchback, add $5,400 for the turbo and $1,200 for installation, and you're looking at a $22,300 car.
