I wish I could see Kizashi's as often as you guys do in PA/NY. Every time I see one around Kansas, I go bananas and try to waive at the occupants.

Yeah, that's the funny thing here. If you look for that acknowledgement from the other drivers it just isn't there.
It is not like" Hey look we are both driving the same unusual car". Its just I'm driving a car your driving a car lets try not to wreck into each other. :)

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.
Wonder if you've ever seen me hah. I'm from scranton but on 80 and 81 often. You'd know if you've seen me though. Arguably the loudest and lowest kizashi and red rally armor flaps

came out of work last night from doing white Christmas and found couple getting into a silver Kizzie. I stopped and we roled down windows and in the middle of the street , talked about reliability and how much they love their car. it was a 2010 SE CVT AWD. First time I talked with someone who has one. Let's hear it for PA. we seem to have many in the wilkesbarre Scranton area

In 6 hours of driving to the middle of nowhere Kansas and back. I only saw one Kizashi. It was a pristine black one with side trim, but no fog lights, heading east on I-70.

Just saw my second Kizashi in Japan today. Oddly enough, it was totally unexpected as I was on top of a mountain. It was a white Kizashi and the occupants wore work uniforms and looked to be headed towards a TV broadcasting station. Looks as though the Kizashi was a company fleet car.

I this point now I haven't seen you but will be looking out for you.. I live down in the Hazleton area. I think the PA crowd in NE PA should get together and talk about this car.. I have had a few people stop me and ask about it. Some knew about it but because it is a orphan they will not get one .. I took the chance and so far so good. I like the look and the amazing interior that has everything I could ever want.. I do not need the screen with the back up camera. as I grew up knowing how to park with out all the new gizmos..

Was looking at the Christmas boulevard in Berwick PA. on Dec 26th. stuck in long line of cars and saw a Silver one that had made it through and was heading south on opposite side of street. I believe it was a SE model didn't see the gts wheels or trim. but looked like it was in great shape..

Not a Kizashi, but spotted some 2010 GTS wheels on an '05 Mazda 6 yesterday. Looked pretty good, save for the excess chrome trim they had.
