Daily U-Turn: What you missed on 10.25.10

Review: 2010 Suzuki SX4 SportBack by RoadRace Motorsports
We were curious how a hopped-up SX4 would perform, particularly in 2010 MY guise, which gets a bump to 150 horses and gains a six-speed manual transmission. Can it compete with the world's best hot hatches?


2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is the crème de la Chrysler
Chrysler engineers have taken the 2011 Challenger SRT8 up a notch or two with a new 6.4-liter V8 that produces 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque while delivering 15-20 percent better fuel economy than the outgoing 6.1-liter V8.




Ford offering sport packages for 2012 Focus SE, Titanium
When the new Focus goes on sale in early 2011, Ford will offer sport packages for both the mid-grade SE and top-end Titanium models, adding things like a more aggressively tuned suspension, larger wheels, better brakes and a host of interior upgrades. Still, only a five-speed manual?
