Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Names Suzuki Equator Pickup 2009 4X4 Of The Year
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Names Suzuki Equator Crew Cab RMZ-4
Pickup 2009 4x4 of the Year
Los Angeles, CA (October 27, 2008)--Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine, the largest truck enthusiast magazine on newsstands, and a
publication of media and marketing services company Source Interlink Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SORC), announced to today that it has
named the 2009 Suzuki Equator Crew Cab RMZ-4 pickup the winner of its coveted 4x4 of the Year award. This is the 27th year of the
enthusiast magazine's in-depth competition of new 4x4 vehicles, and the first time a Suzuki product has taken home the award.
"The Suzuki Equator Crew Cab RMZ-4 pickup handily won this year's test, despite being pitted against top-of-the-line competition," said Rick
Péwé, Editor-in-Chief of Petersen's 4- Wheel & Off-Road. "The pickup consistently placed well ahead of the competition in most areas, and
great value and fun factors sent it over the top. Basic, solid construction gave us the confidence to take the truck wherever we wanted."
The Suzuki Equator Crew Cab RMZ-4 pickup topped the field of seven competent competitors and ranked high in every category of this
year's in-depth test. The grueling 1,000-mile trial evaluates each vehicle's suspension, engine, transmission, and transfer case along with the
style and creature comforts they provide. Most importantly, the 4x4s are judged on how well they perform off-road. This year's competitors
included the Dodge Ram 1500 TRX4 Quad cab, Ford F-150 FX4, Hummer H3 Alpha, Hummer H3T Adventure, Kia Borrego EX V8, and
Toyota Sequoia Platinum.
"To win the Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road 2009 4x4 of the Year Competition is a very high honor," said Kevin Saito, American Suzuki's
President. "The editorial staff at Petersen's are some of the toughest truck critics because they know how hard core truck customers really
use--and occasionally even abuse--their trucks. We're gratified that Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road recognizes the new Suzuki Equator's
class-leading off-road hardware and durability, whether it is hauling our Suzuki cycle, ATV or marine products, or tackling off- road
challenges itself," he added.
To be eligible to compete, a vehicle must be all-new, or have improvements that make it perform significantly different from the previous
model year. Vehicles must also be available for sale before January 15 of the model year, have a production run of at least 2,500 units, and
have a two-speed transfer case. The complete test results and vehicle evaluations for the 2009 4x4 of the Year competition will appear in
the February 2009 issue, available December 2, 2008, and will also be available on the Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road website at
