we had a random hail storm here in new orleans sunday night. before i could get out to move the car it was to late. golf ball sized hail for 15 minutes straight pounded my car... waiting on insurance to come check it out now. every panel has huge dents in it now. will post some pics tomorrow when the sun is out.

That's how I ended up with a Kizashi, the Honda I was driving got hailed on and it was totaled. With the bad depreciation you probably won't get much, but you may find another one for just as cheap!

Everyone I talk to thinks they will total my car. If they do I'm not getting another kizashi since they went bankrupt here. I'm looking at Acura tl's or Infiniti g35

We've only recently got Infiniti back in Australia. I just had a look at the G35 coupe - it's a very nice looking vehicle. Surely the price difference would be substantially more than a Kizashi?

A G35 (now, a G37 and soon will be Q50 aka Nissan Skyline in Japan) is basically a BMW fighter. It's a lot more than a Kizashi. The Kizashi was going after the heels of Audi A4s and Acura TSXs as a budget sports sedan chaser. The G37 and TL are even a class above the Audi A4 and especially the TSX.

nothing wrong with a g35, but you are talking a 40-50k car...so it would be an upgrade

i meant the g37 sedan not the g35. i forget they changed the numbers lol. i gotta have a four door since i have a lil one. what sucks is i let her pick out the kizashi and when i have to get rid of it its gonna break her heart. but now its daddy's turn to pick out the car i may let her have the color choice

Hey, well I'm jealous

The G37 sedan will be an awesome vehicle to own. Be sure to post pics if you get one.

rusty,

You'll be happy to know that the G37 is also very safe. It has some great safety ratings. The Acura TL is also very safe too. I really like both cars. Infiniti also makes a G25. It's not popular, but it should be cheaper and a little better on gas. That car would be better to compare to the Kizashi given the displacement.
