No, the photo isn't scrunched. Suzuki's X-HEAD concept really looks like this. The little truck can be set up with one of three distinct modules to make it useful for specific needs, like the Camper module that sleeps two, and the Fashion configuration that's designed for urban use. The third setup is called the Rescue -- it preps the truck for search and rescue operations.

Suzuki's new production truck, the mid-size Equator, will be on dealer lots for the 2009 model year. Suzuki showed three concepts of it at the truck's Chicago introduction, all designed to appear in-sync with the automaker's off-roading and marine products.
