How Much is that Bicycle on the Suzuki
When you attend an event like the 2010 Philadelphia Auto Show you expect to see things like cars, and trucks, and hybrids, and even motorcycles. What you don’t expect to see are bicycles. But one of the nice little additions to the 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara is a classy little Schwinn Caliente 12-speed bicycle.
“The 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara gains some new available features. This compact SUV seats five and has a side-hinged rear cargo door. Grand Vitara is offered with two engines. The first is a 166-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that teams with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The other engine is a 230-hp 3.2-liter V6 that has a 5-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive and two all-wheel drive systems are available: Single-mode AWD and Suzuki’s “Four-Mode” AWD that includes a locking differential and hill ascent and descent control. Grand Vitara comes in Base, Premium, Special Edition, XSport, and Limited trim levels. Base, Premium, and Special Edition come only with the 4-cylinder. Xsport and Limited are available with both engines. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Base, Premium, and 4-cylinder versions of the Xsport and Limited. Single-mode AWD is standard on the Special Edition and available on the Premium and 4-cylinder Limited. V6 versions offer Four-Mode AWD. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Newly standard on all models is a navigation system. A wireless cell-phone link is optional. A sunroof, keyless access and engine start, and real-time traffic information for the navigation system are standard on the XSport and Limited. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are standard only on the Limited.”
The Schwinn features 12 speeds, a caramel frame and a cushy leather saddle. – and runs about $18,000 less than the Suzuki SUV.
