Looks like a bigger version of the SX-4 Sedan, and I like the design of that car.

I wonder if the kizashi will still be called the kizashi when it comes to north america,
Imagine showing up at a WWII veterans group, and telling everyone you just bought a "SUZUKI KIZASHI"

I think the top of the line one with 4WD may cost somewhere near a Civic SI....

I will still choose a Civic Si.

nice looking car. Can anyone explain how come production cars ALWAYS look worse than concepts? is it just cheaper to make them look like shit compared to the concepts? the only car that looks close to concept is the genesis coupe and thats why it's so sexy, even though there are minor differences that makes the concept still far superior.

shit those luggage cases are $600+ each!

Because they do not need to worry about road safety regulations when its only a concept.

But still, the production model looks pretty good too.

a step in the right direction. Their product line up was bleh and meh.

and For $20k to start, that's a lot of car. Engineering wise they are pretty good, Suzukis in general. Plain, simple, not a whole lot of electronics compared to others.

Think of this as the new 90's corolla.

below 30... how far below?

you can get a 4 banger accord for 26 and a v6 for 32... and it's a suzuki brand. Still japanese but not as well known.... I don't think this will sell that fast. Needs a lower price, and a v6 especially with a heavy awd drivetrain.

^ Damn, not bad at all considering all of Suzuki's cars generally look like crap. Not sure if I like the tail lights though.. looks like they're off a Civic coupe.

what about cosmetic differences, for example on the genesis, the bumper and fog light holes are different and look way better in the concept. On this suzuki, the enlarged light looks retarded compared to the sleeker ones of the concept, is there a regulation on light size?

^^ Of course there are most definitely regulations on light sizes. Countries don't make North American cars different from everyone else for fun.

Also, the good looking fogs might cost 10c more to make per car, and they can't have that. Welcome to the world of mass production.
