13: Fronting up with Fronx, Chinese onslaught continues and sports car challenge

Suzuki is an enigmatic company. How can a brand that produces the Hayabusa superbike also produce such pedestrian, tinny cars? In this week's episode we discuss whether the new Fronx SUV has enough to change the equation for the Japanese brand. We also discuss GAC, another new Chinese brand and take our pick of genuine performance bargains under $40k.
