"Suzuki LIVE Series" Xboxed Right Up
Designed for, "the ultimate video game enthusiasts - a car for 2007
Following our story regarding the Xbox 360 Peugeot 206, yet another motorised console is to hit the market. This time it comes from American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) and is built by ASC of Huntington Beach, California.
The motor is based on the Suzuki SX4 compact sport X-over, the SXBox is designed for, "the ultimate video game enthusiasts". It's been given, "mild performance upgrades, including high-flow airbox/intake, cat-back exhaust, an enhanced suspension and multi-piston alloy brake calipers mated to cross-drilled, vented rotors".
Stop, wait! It is also equipped with a high-performance wheel and tire package, "providing gamers with the means to get to the nearest gaming competition" (We had to quote that, it was begging for it).
What else do you get? Well, here's just some of the 'features':
• An ultra-high-tech, 'game-inspired' colour scheme including recessed LED emitters to brighten the interior of the vehicle.
• A dashboard-integrated Xbox 360 coupled with a close proximity digital projection system to display on the interior of the vehicle's retractable hood, easily enabled by the push of a button.
• A second Xbox 360 powering two separate LCD display screens in the seat backs.
• A 30-inch retractable rear projection screen in the cargo area.
• High-relief, force-feedback front seats
• Four wireless controllers, including a steering-wheel-mounted gaming control for the driver.
• Multi-speaker surround audio system with wide frequency response.

It's not Microsoft, it's the car manufacturers trying to expand their demographic.
The other (UK) one was just some lame stickers - but this one seems to put an Xbox right at the heart of the ICE, and that's to be respected.
