The Chrysler 200 seems to have taken some tips from the Kiz style

I agree and not surprisingly, I think the new 200 looks rather nice.

Tail Lights on the Kizashi still look better.

The 200 uses Audi-style tube tail lights which I think look great.
I think what stands out most for the Kizashi's rear are the exhaust ports. You can tell Suzuki really focused on them and drew inspiration from their motorcycle exhausts when designing them.

The 200 is a beautiful car but I can't get past Chrysler making it. I just don't have any faith in its long term reliability.

Check out the new Buick Regal too--it's almost a twin of the Kizashi styling-wise.

Those ports have been used a lot now in the mid-segment cars after being a styling touch on luxury class cars like the Lexus LS series, BMW 7 series, etc.

I actually really like the Regal's styling too, especially the Regal GS.

They've totally revamped the brand, haven't they? At first I didn't think it was going to work, but I've definitely been impressed by the looks of their new products like the GS you pointed out.

Yeah, Buick is like Lincoln and Acura. Not top tier luxury, but rather nice.
I like Buicks and I consider some of them the best American cars. After all, their cars are usually among the most reliable domestics and I think I've seen more old Buicks on the road than any other domestic.
GM was thinking about killing them off like they did with Pontiac, but Buick is very popular in China so GM kept it around.
