I wonder what the dominant gender is who purchase our car. It almost seem like everyone driving one in the Dallas Fort Worth area are women. Oh well, they have good taste in cars.

Here in NE PA.. it seems to be mostly men driving the GTS.. I see women as well but mostly in the SE.. I see very limited SLS's again those are men...guys in their 50's .

Pretty even mix here in SE Virginia. Although my sampling of about 10 of us in three years is certainly not conclusive! When I see another one, I always look to see if they notice me. (not me as a person, but my car) Are they on the lookout for other Kizashi siblings? The answer there has been a resounding "No!". But I'm always on the lookout for my Kizashi brethren. A long time ago we talked in the forum about a "secret" Suzuki greeting. You know, like all the H.D. riders wave to each other. I suggested the letter "S" or the letter "K" in sign language. If one of us ever got the same response back, we'd know it was someone from the forum.

Except I might normally be going too fast to ID.......


Around here most seem driven by middle-aged women, with an occasional sprinkling of younger folk.
I'm 61, but I'm on my second Kizashi :mrgreen:

So I see at least 3 or 4 on a weekly basis. There seems to be a concentration of Kizzys in the central PA area. 50/50 men or women. But so far I am the youngest to drive the wheel at 37. Most were aged in the 50's 60's.

I spotted an Ice Blue Metallic Kizashi last week in Washington, DC. The owner was obviously into his car. It had custom wheels, was debadged, and some trim and the S emblem was plasti-dipped. He also had a Bumper Bully. I have one too but it's in the trunk when I drive.
It looked to be an SLS with the tan leather seats. I pulled up next to the driver to try say hi but he wasn't paying attention although I am near-certain he noticed my Kizashi pulled up next to his multiple times in the traffic.

I didn't think that color combo was available in GTS/SLS trim. I'd thought it was S or SE? model(s) only...I could be wrong...have to check the sales brochures.
