WOW! Suzuki SNAPPED! 2010 Kizashi 3 Concept! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 03-20-2008, 10:46 AM

Shit is GANGSTER! Damn I wish there was Nissan Maxima badging on that car. +1 to Suzuki.

From Autoblog:

Suzuki has been teasing us over the last few months with its duo of highly stylized concepts, the Kizashi and Kizashi 2. While it was obvious that cues found on both those concepts are going to inspire the styling of future models, it wasn't clear how Suzuki would implement some of the more extreme features of this design language. Today in New York, Suzuki showed what elements were making the cut with the unveiling of the Kizashi 3 concept.

Sporting a toned-down version of the gaping maw found on the first two concepts, deeply drawn headlights and recessed fog lamps, the fascia has made the successful transition from design exercise to down-to-earth concept. While the profile and rear end is a little less dramatic than the view up front, the 21-inch wheels add a healthy amount of visual weight down below. Underneath the hood is a 300-hp, 3.6-liter V6 that drives all four wheels through Suzuki's intelligent AWD system.

Suzuki made it very clear that the Kizashi 3 is a close representation of the production model that will arrive in the U.S. by 2010. It's a serious step to shore up market share in a segment rife with competition, but if the Kizashi is executed as well as the concept, there could be another serious contender coming out of Japan.

How about the S15 headlights. hubba hubba.

I love the hood line in the front.

Now if they could build a smaller coupe with this type of styling

OptionZero · 03-20-2008, 12:32 PM

Audi grill, Lexus fender and headlights

blitzkrgCT9A · 03-20-2008, 12:37 PM

That looks so awesome!!

ryguy · 03-20-2008, 12:37 PM

I think it looks dumb as hell, I think the front fascia looks dopey.

SimpleS14 · 03-20-2008, 12:44 PM

I like the looks of this concept and I can't believe its from Suzuki. I wonder how much they will tone down for the production model.

Probably like 80%, I cannot see them putting it into production with wheels anywhere close to resembling those.

murda-c · 03-20-2008, 12:53 PM

I never thought suzuki would suprise me, damn.

Though i do love their hillclimb and wrc cars.

*exitspeed* · 03-20-2008, 12:53 PM

+ a bunch of rep for anyone who photoshopes it into a coupe with nice wheels.

All right, GO!...

*Antihero983* · 03-20-2008, 01:00 PM

There, added that important detail on for you

ryguy · 03-20-2008, 01:50 PM

Didnt shorten the wheelbase, but I like it as a coupe better than a sedan.

SimpleS14 · 03-20-2008, 01:55 PM

+ rep for you

That looks pretty good.

*exitspeed* · 03-20-2008, 01:59 PM

Oh man ryguy, that is fresh! So sick.

Come one Suzuki. DO IT.

lflkajfj12123 · 03-20-2008, 02:26 PM
