The seven most powerful men and one woman who lead the eight most powerful nations on the planet and make decisions that affect the lives of all of its inhabitants are meeting at a secret evil ice cave somewhere in Hokkaido right now. As part of the G8 Summit, Japan’s automakers are showing off their fleet of green vehicles. I can’t believe this, but I’m at a loss for what the first one on the left is, but the rest are the Subaru Stella electric vehicle, Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, and the Mazda RX-8 and Premacy hydrogen rotaries. Toyota donated 78 cars, ranging from a hydrogen-powered Kluger/Highlander to Crown and Lexus LS600h hybrids. Mitsubishi contributed i-MIEVs while Nissan showed off X-Trial clean diesels and Suzuki supplied SX4 FCVs.

Suzuki is offering GPS systems on its 2009 SX4 sedan and AWD crossover packaged as the Road Trip edition. However, it has failed to supply a photo of it, so here’s a photo of a standard SX4 Paper Map In the Glove Box Edition. $16,000 for a GPS-equipped car would be a good deal if I wanted GPS, which I don’t.

Road Race Motosports has created the Suzuki SX4t, which bolts a Mitsubishi 16G GT3 turbo good for a 78hp bump over the stock 143hp four. The kicker is that this will be offered at Suzuki dealerships for $5400 plus another $1100 to $1200 for installation. Ouch. Why don’t we have the Swift again?
