2010 Suzuki Kizashi
Suzuki is one of Japan’s smaller automakers. To try and grow its sales, later this year it’s launching a new midsize sedan called the Kizashi. It’s aimed right at competitors like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The car is not available at dealerships yet, but here’s a quick overview of what it will bring to the market.

@MrGgggg123456789 Uhhhh not exactly. Kizashi was developed and came to market BEFORE Suzuki and VW became partners. Kizashi’s appearance was more based off of the Suzuki family of cars, such as Suzuki Splash, Suzuki Swift, Aerio and Suzuki SX4. The swoop grille design first appeard on the Suzuki Concept S which was penned in 2000 which then became concept S2 (2003) and became a production car by 2004. All long before VW used the grille on the Jetta.
The similarity to a VW is not coincidental as VW now owns 20% of suzuki, so it does look like a japanese jetta
he seems nervous
it looks like a vw jetta mixed with an acura RL at the front.
is he still working for Suzuki? he stumbled over his words like a 8th grader in speech class.
I think Suzuki needs a new bloody rep!!
This should do well!
Saw other clips of the Kizashi, looks better in other colors, the same Suzuki guy, Eddie Rayyan is in other clips, did a great job on the description.
Would never have thought the car was a Suzuki, at first glance, I thought I was looking at a VW or another Euro brand. The Suzuki rep had a lot to say in such a short clip, I thought he did a good job with an experienced reporter.
What would be most interesting is if this car actually lives up to its name.
“kizashi” in Japanese means something along the lines of “foreshadowing”, “signs”, “omens”, etc.
If we’re lucky, perhaps they mean to indicate that this is the new direction they’re taking and that it’s indicative of where Suzuki is headed. Another lower-tier brand climbing the quality ranks (a la Hyundai) to fight toe-to-toe with the big boys can only be good for the industry. Hooray, capitalism.
eddie rayyan doesn’t seem to know what he’s talkin about and stumbles. very unprofessional

Its sad.. I actually don’t know the name of the host. But I preferred to hear him speak, compared to the Suzuki rep.
He does a lot better job in my opinion at recognizing things on the car.. and his voice just sounds better.
