Qashqai faces tough challenge

DO YOU remember the Suzuki X90? For the benefit of readers who missed it, the X90 was Japan's first attempt to offer a conventional car that looked like a 4x4 without any of the costly drawbacks. via Customer Interaction Solutions

I owned one, 1996 Silver Pearl, for almost ten years until a jerk zoomed through a stop sign and totaled the car. It took a year and a half to locate another one worth buying. Since they made a limited number of X90s in 96, 97 and 98, most have a lot of miles on them with lots of rust. I got lucky-I found a '96 with less than 29,000 and NO rust. Great condition inside and out, cherry red. I bought it in Oct. '2007. If Suzuki offered X90s again, I would definitely buy a new one. They are fun to drive, GREAT on gas,
