"Suzuki is delighted to provide one lucky consumer with the keys to a brand new XL7," said Marty Haynes, Suzuki's manager of auto show operations. "Ms. Esparza is already an SUV owner, and we're confident the XL7's responsive powertrain, roomy cargo compartment and easy access to all three rows will accommodate her family's transportation needs."

Ms. Esparza, who lives with her husband and two sons near Joe Pool Lake, will take delivery of the XL7 from Chacon Suzuki in southwest Dallas. Chacon is one of Suzuki's newest Suzuki Square dealerships, and provides Suzuki owners and prospects in the area with an excellent selection of new Suzuki cars and SUVs in an open, stress-free shopping environment, and underscores Suzuki's Way of Life experience.

Having entered the drawing last fall, Ms. Esparza initially overlooked the announcement of her win. "I had received notification by mail -- and thought it was nothing. I threw it away." It took a follow-up phone call before the news -- and enormity -- of the win began to take hold. Ms. Esparza has since visited Chacon Suzuki, enjoyed a test drive and is truly excited by her turn of good luck.
