Suzuki Kizashi Spied

Thanks to an savvy Autoblog reader, new spy shots have been captured of Suzuki's upcoming Kizashi mid-size sedan. Suzuki displayed a concept previewing the vehicle at the New York International Auto Show.

After some speculation that the car was being cancelled, a victim of the downturn, Suzuki recently confirmed that the car is still on track for a launch in December of this year.  Spy shots bear that out, as Suzuki continues to test the car. I'm quite impressed with what I'm seeing!

Check out that interior!  Not anything revolutionary (did you expect it to be though?) for the segment but definitely well put together, with a nice design.  I'm impressed; think it should do very well when put up against the competition.

The Kizashi Concept wasn't an exact preview; expect the car to be toned down significantly from the concept. Character seems to still remain in the design however.  Ahead of the New York International Auto Show the car was spied (again on Autoblog) that showed the car's headlights and a much better view of the overall design.  Surprisingly, from what I saw, I actually liked that better than the concept. 

I'll be able to tell much better once Suzuki's official press release comes out. I sure hope it's a looker! We don't need another boring mid-size sedan in the world. Maybe with their motorsports heritage they'll put an emphasis on sports models. You never know, right? We can hope. Either way I'm looking forward to checking out Suzuki's new mid-size sedan! It's a place where they haven't really played before.
