Spy Shots: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi
Spy Shots: 2010 Suzuki KizashiLikely to take design cues from handsome Suzuki's Kizashi 3 concept car show at the 2008 New York Auto Show, the production Kizashi sedan is expected to take Suzuki further upmarket. Competing directly with the Accord, Camry, and Altima (one of each was on hand with Suzuki's test team), the Kizashi is expected offer a 3.6-liter DOHC V-6, and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The V-6 could generate as much as 300 horsepower, while the four is expected to exceed 150 hp. Optional all-wheel drive is also likely--as is a more consumer-friendly name than the concept-car moniker.

2010 Suzuki Kizashi spy shotsEnlarge PhotoThe 2010 Suzuki Kazashi has arrived in Nevada for some hot-weather testing. Our latest look at Suzuki's new midsize sedan has generated some new details--including our first looks at the Kizashi's engine and interior.

What's this? Suzuki isn't using the low-slung Chevy Malibu as a benchmark sedan? Who woulda thunk it?

I hope this looks as good as a accord but at an Sonata price.

Hopefully looks as good as the concept cars. Not only is there life after GM but rebirth for Suzuki.

i wish they would've left the concept model alone in terms of headlights, they wew much sleeker, it'd be so nice to see those futuristic lights back on there, other than that it looks like a regular vehicle i agree with brian t, i hope it looks better than the accord, i've got the fully loaded verona,(2006) i hope it looks better than that, i was thinking about trading into the 09 hyundai genesis(very very nice, but when i saw the kizashi 3 i said i'd wait/trade up for it, but after looking at the leaked pics, that genesis trade looks inevitable, suzuki please change my mind

The rear of the car is very much like the concept. The front is not beefy enough as in the concept. I have waited for the production model and unless the price/quality margin is very good, I will go with the Genesis. I have owned two Suzuki models in the recent past. The SX4 I have is great.
