BTW, I still want that "special edition" gold Kizashi with those wheels. Sick, that model was my desktop background for a while lol

If you look for some of the first Kizashi test drive reviews, you'll read that Suzuki even made a V6 Kizashi for reviewers to drive. From what I've read, it obviously added more power but the 4 cylinder version handled better due to having less weight up front.
Despite promises of a V6 and hybrid version, we all know that the 4 cylinder was all that Suzuki offered. The interesting thing is that Suzuki initially counted on the Kizashi being powered by more powerful engines so the chassis was actually designed to handle about 300 horses.

There are a few things you need to do right for the embed to work. First is copying the correct address. Don't use the embed address from youtube. Use the one that appears normally in the browser. Convert your embed version to the browser version by changing the "embed" portion of the address to "watch". After that, you need to copy the youtube browser link into the comment text field here and then use the "youtube" button above which should wrap the link. However, it's imperative that you remove the "s" after "http" for the embed to work properly. See my example below.

See how it did not embed because I left the "s" on? Now below is with it off:

Yep, I remember watching a Kizashi review of the V6 version a few years back (wonder where that one is now).
Whoa, thanks for the tip!

s.n. sad video. If only it came with that 3.6L V6 to get ~ 300hp with "real" auto trans (and manual too) sending the power to all 4 wheels. At least it got the platinum silver paint from the concept though (or close enough).
