Suzuki Four Wheel Drives.

The Suzuki X90 4WD is unlike any other four wheel drive. It can only be described as a 2-seat four wheel drive sports car. A check of the specifications shows its parentage - same engine and wheelbase etc. as the 1.6L short wheelbase version of the Vitara but two fewer seats.
