The Kizashi Spotting Thread!

Last night I saw the first Kizashi in the wild in almost two years (I’m not counting KuroNekko’s because that was a meet-up lol). A dark blue model of lower trim, I thought it might have been the same one I found at the nearby Target almost exactly three years ago (I posted a picture of my Kizashi parked next to it), but the plates don’t match. I think the Target one was a higher trim, too. But this spot, a pair of freeway onramp turn lanes, was where I saw a silver one a couple years ago. I was in the lane on the right and the car a couple cars behind me decides to go in the empty lane to the left. I decided to see what it was and was taken off guard. Did not expect a Kizashi, as it’s been a while. It took off real fast, too. Like “not good for the JATCO” fast, assuming it was a CVT. I was behind it on the freeway for a little while, and it was weird because in a way it was like being behind my Kizashi on the road.

The low beams look like they aren’t halogen, but that’s just the camera. The light they cast was definitely halogen yellow-ish, and not in a wide beam.

So my Kizashi spotting counter has been reset to zero days lol. I wonder how long it will be before I see another.

Encountered a Jimny the other night. Couldn’t take a picture, unfortunately, as it was in motion and it all happened fast. Saw this little rolling cube with LED headlights in a dark stretch of road, and wasn’t sure of what I was seeing. Then it rounded the corner under a street lamp, and I was able to identify it by the highlighter yellow paint. Had it been a different color, I might not have figured out what it was. Honestly thought I’d never see one.

Likely from Mexico. Nice spotting!
