Suzuki May Bring a Third Kizashi Concept to New York Auto Show
Suzuki has seemingly gotten good value out of its pair of Kizashi concept cars, aimed at judging customer interest in the carmaker moving upmarket.
While the original Kizashi sought to provide a sporting sedan with diesel power, and the sequel aimed squarely at the premium wagon/crossover market, Kizashi 3 will be the first iteration to explore V-8 power. This third look at the Kizashi family will reportedly bow at this year’s New York Auto Show in March.
After the warm reviews that came following the Frankfurt and Tokyo debuts of the first concepts, Suzuki is said to be sufficiently emboldened to move ahead with plans for a 2009 launch of a production Kizashi. There’s no word yet on what form that production car would take, but if it’s anything like its progenitors, there could be a whole new reason to get excited about Suzuki.

They are going to explore V8s when the rest of the industry is abandoning them

I like the red one a lot - 4 door hatch with wheels at the corners. Looks purposeful. The white version has some fussy pieces I could do without.

The Kizashi concepts were both pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing another, and hope they bring something similar to market.

The front of that car is so ugly I almost threw up all over the keyboard. Please Japan, put down the pencils. Hire the Itallians to design your cars for you!
