Suzuki Vitara.

| Special Promotion |

The Suzuki line-up: Vitara (4 door), Sierra Stockman (ute),
Vitara (2 door), Sierra.

Suzuki make SWB and LWB versions of the Vitara. Long known as builders of small cars and 4WDs, the LWB Vitara has 5 seats and a 2L V6 option. Suddenly it is not so small any more.

The main competition is Toyota's RAV4. Suzuki's ad's have been having a good dig at the RAV4, pointing to that 4x4's lack of a chassis and a proper hi/lo-ratio transfer-case, and painting it as a sheep in wolf's clothing.

In the USA the Vitara is sold as the Tracker, pre-1998 the Geo-Tracker and in 1998 and later as the Chevrolet Tracker.

eCars Spotlight
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
