Taking the Kizashi to the next level
I really hope that one of these is a turbo. No idea what the second will be. A turbo wagon?!

I don't think they will make a wagon, but it could be a turbo.

It could be a turbo engine..sourced/licensed from VW. Though recent talk of the slow results of the VW/Suzuki alliance since the partnership commenced a year or so ago..I could be wrong, but I'd doubt such an engine would materialize this soon.
My money is on either or both:
a) A power bump (hp and/or torque) for the J24B (following the 2010 SX4/J20B bump).
b) An available AWD 6sp manual option (again, following the above SX4 yr model).
Btw, I'd assume an improvement in fuel economy as well...

I hope it's more than that with the "next level" talk, but you could be correct.

I'd bet my kizashi it's a V6.
Has Suzuki been effected by one of the many disasters japan is facing right now?

I am on the verge of buying a new 2010 SLS. I am not sure what to do now? I really would love a turbo. CVT is really really slow off the gate. On ther other hand, I wouldn't get such a deal with a turbo/V6 on 2012.

It's not going to be a Turbo V6...it's probably going to be a plain ole V6 so it competes with the other sedans in it's class with a larger more powerfull engine.

I agree it wont be Turbo 6 cylinder. I meant Turbo Or V6. Either way it is going be more powerful and probably MPG isn't going to suffer much

Bingo... makes me wish I would have shopped a little longer. The Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata are ones to look at too. I kick myself everytime I see a Sonata. Still never been in one though.
