Geez...what are the odds on that? The Google mobile caught your car there, you just happened to snap a pic the same trip AND you then happened to find the street view of it on Google maps....

Play the lottery man!

I just spotted a Kizashi in Kobe, Japan. Yup, back here again this winter. Man, this country is chocked full of Suzukis but the Kizashi is still a rare sight. Many Altos, Wagon Rs, Jimnys, and Swifts.

I find this thread interesting, being I see atleast 10-15 kizashi's daily. I didn't realize the rarity as some of you guys are claiming. I'm aware they're predominantly in PA but they're actually just as common as any other car in my area (Scranton, PA)

I live in an area of a population of about 140 000 people (The greater Moncton area, New Brunswick Canada). I was the only Kizashi in the area for the first 2 years of ownership. I met a guy about a year ago who has one (2011 grey SX/mine is a 2012 black sport). I do encounter a Kizashi every 2-3 months, but they are not residing in my area.

Took a 3000 mi trip over thanksgiving. Just for fun we decided to count Kizashis. Southern Colorado to north Idaho & back.
Official tally: 1 (ours)

Didn't expect that result!

Living in Western Pa I see the same thing daily. A few weeks ago I was at a fourway intersection and all 4 cars were Kizashi. I was going to post it but who would believe it?

A few days later I almost backed out of my driveway into the path of a Kizashi, dark blue, same color as mine!

Outside of Pennsylvania, I think Kizashis are a very rare sight. I live in Maryland which borders PA and even then, I rarely see other Kizashis.

It is nice to know here in PA we have the most of them on the Roads. Here in NE pa. wilkesbarre area I have seen many on interstate 81 and 80. mostly silver ones. I seem to have the only black one. Not sure of the years . but I think I have the only GTS. I can tell from the front end.

I live in Latham NY (Upstate).....there are four Kizashi's in my neighborhood.....one neighbor has two! Apparently Advantage Suzuki in Albany, NY moved a lot of these cars. I bought mine in Oct. 2010 (GTS - Silver) - only have 25,000 miles on it but I love the car. Only issues I've had was a replacement of the Rockford Fosgate Amp. due to volume jumps, and the usual recalls....oh...and the plastic piece broke on my passenger side front seat.....and new tires needed at about 20,000. miles....other than that...well maintained and it's a great car!
