Not a Kizashi "Good Omen"

Anderson Auto group, headquartered in Nebraska, and which owns Ford, Kia and Suzuki dealerships in St Joseph, MO, has closed their Suzuki dealership. I don't know if this was Anderson's or Suzuki's choice. Guess I wouldn't blame Suzuki, the Kizashi I bought last month was the only one they ever sold...
