Kizashi Club

Hello everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster on this forum. I have been interested in a Kizashi ever since I saw an ad of theirs long time ago. I recall thinking at the time, wow thats a nice looking Suzuki. On these forums I read all the complaints about paint chips and the slow CVT off the gun and i sort of delayed my plans to purchase one.

So today, Oct 9 2011, I went to a dealership to get a look at the car myself and I was very impressed. Unfortunately I did not get to test drive it because they were closing up. I asked him if the 2012 models have come in yet or not and he said they will not be here till November. So I asked him what, if any, are the differences in the new models that are coming out and he said.......an AWD (the sports model) will be coming out with Manual Transmission.

Now if what he says is true, I believe I will be an owner of a new Kizashi, however I was unable to find any information on what he said on the net.

Could any of you verify if you are aware that a MT with AWD model is in the books for 2012.

Thank you,

Wolf

Welcome to the forums!

I would love to tell you that a MT with AWD is in the books for 2012. But that would be like selling you "liquid lipids from an ofidious reptile" Not for 2012 unfortunately. Probably not even in this generation Kizashi.

If there was a combination of MT with beige interior and and exterior color other than white, I would be changing my car in a heartbeat. It is a nice white, I'll admit it, but detailing white while shatter the self confidence of any detailer. If something as simple as a build options combo is not going to happen, the AWD with MT is not happening either.

Obviously you haven't tried black.

I can do wonders on black and red. What is a major pain with black is keeping it swirl free White is easier to maintain, but to make it "pop", oh what a pain!
