i figure someone will eventually make a kit of this car, so here ya go.

As an ex Suzuki Sport employee having been involved in this project, I really hope someone kits this car - any scale, any media will do!

it's a gorgeous car. i want a road-going WRX STi-style version!

Cool, good stuff. You had me hoping for just a moment that maybe someone had announced a kit of it!

MC is a week from tomorrow- can't wait to see how this one does! My wife would also absolutely love a Suzuki Motorsport road car of this one.

the car will run in this colour scheme http://www.wrc.com/news/big/080108_suzuki.jpg

Damn shame we'll probably never see WRC coverage again in the US thanks to Speedchannel aka "NASCAR/BarrettJackson/Pinks 24/7" :shakehead

get your fix here (http://www.racing-underground.com/index.ru?cls=32). motorsports overdose at your fingertips. races are up within hours of the checkered flag (so to speak).

That is one good looking rally car... It's nice to see more manufacturers in the WRC. Now let's hope they are competitive real soon!

But a quick questions: I see no paddle shifters in the pics, and just a teeny-tiny selector to change gear in the console... What gives?

this is just a mock up. the paddle shift is installed on the full works car. you can get live coverage on wrc.com if you wanna pay for it. or you could always pay me and i'll send you dvds of the full irish rally season lol

Hi.

Concerning wrc.com, things have changed. At least, all the vids are now available without paying. I think everything's free now. Don't know if that applies for the live stages they had last year (I really hope so !).

Oh, and great livery of the SX4. I too hope that Hasegawa or Fujimi will make a model of it. Suzuki being a Japanese company might help in that regard...
Here's hoping !

think you still have to pay for the live stages but that could change

now that's a hot hatch... I'd possibly rock a street version.

Sorry this post comes late but my Internetz has been failing me. :lol:

The wife and I have been looking at these SX4s. Everything seems to indicate that they're a decent package. But I'm still skeptical as Suzuki changes their designs every year. I don't want to finance a car for a given number of years and by the time it's paid off have the only one left in existence... haha. Seriously though, I'm keeping an open mind about it. Not sure if we want a "crossover" or something fwd as we're also considering the Kia Spectra5 and a few other import models...
