"remoteless and keyless entry"? Is this a typo? I'm thinking "remote keyless entry" would make more sense...

[edit] Mini-SUV?

Is anyone really calling this a "mini SUV"? It sure looks like what I'd call a "compact car". Friday (talk) 03:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


Its a crossover. Too big to be a compact car, but too small to be a SUV. I think the fact that it has AWD adds to the "mini SUV" statement, but it's a crossover for sure. Tenbit 15:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Too big? I don't see that- have you looked at the dimensions and weight? It's a couple hundred lbs lighter than my compact car. AWD is becoming increasingly common on plain old passenger cars. But I suppose we should go by what the sources say rather than inventing our own criteria. Friday (talk) 15:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
From the link in the article, "The SX4 is positioned to butt heads with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla in the States." This sure makes it sound like it's in the compact car segment to me. Friday (talk) 15:54, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


Yeah I get your point, I am going by European standards for compact cars. My SX4 is a LOT bigger than my Clio and Alto ever was. However, I heard this was supposed to be the new rival for the WRX in other articles. Maybe they were talking in terms of WRC Tenbit 15:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, right, the classifications are different depending where you go. I think it's similar sizewise to the WRX and can be had in a wagon body style, but the WRX actually has decent performance. With this thing's little 140horse engine, I guess they call that adequate, but it's hardly going to have good acceleration. For what it's worth, I don't see anything calling the WRX any kind of crossover or SUV. It's a sport compact, available as a sedan or a wagon. Friday (talk) 16:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 4WD

May I suggest changing all the "4WD" in this article to "AWD", as it is an AWD car, not 4WD. 4WD suggests you can take this car offroad like say, a Jeep. Tenbit 15:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, and changed. Friday (talk) 15:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speculation

please can i change this text, this it to mutch speculation.

"An expected 60,000 units will be produced — 2/3 to be sold by Suzuki and 1/3 by Fiat, rebadged as the Sedici, and a Lancia sister model is expected for 2007. "

"So far, sales have been strong in the U.S"

How match in numbers ?

In the Netherlands in june 2007 250 were sold by Suzuki and 148 by Fiat. Stef --World arm lamp 22:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
