Suzuki SX4 Sportback

I’ve never seen many SX4s around where I live.
I do like the way they look.
But I always thought that standard AWD was not necessary. Especially around here.

Suzuki will now market in the US a FWD version of the car, with a slightly more powerful engine (150hp)
The automatic switches from a 4 speed to a CVT.
I guess the FWD version would be lighter, although the CVT might just kill that advantage, depending on how it is calibrated.
