this brochure may lead you to believe otherwise

it came first in auto pacific 2010 and 2011 both years vehicle satisfaction awards beating everything including members of its class such as audi a3 accord etc. apparently the owners are very satisfied with it. and the quotes in the brochure also talk otherwise
"A game changing midsize sedan" msn autos ( no wonder msn gone bust)
"a engaging driving experience highlighted by a well balanced chasis and an abundance of grip" edmunds.com
"whats impressive here is the high quality of feel of the interior" road and track 10/09
and so many more its full of them
"top crash safety rating for front, side and rear" IIHS
so the brochure would lead you to believe that the car is very exciting and a modified version of this "pile of misery" but still looking mostly the same it broke the record in tis class on the bonnevile salt flats doing 203 mile and hour
by the way anyone knows what it costed suzuki motor company to publish a brochure full of praises like that? i would like to do one to for my car.
