Kizashi Club

Has anyone else seen "The Block" on Ch9? Suzuki sponsor the show and I was peeved everything except a Kizashi seemed to be on there, but tonight I spotted a customised Kizashi. It's white with black bonnet / roof and black wheels (possibly lowered too?)

I tried Googling and looking on 9msn but can't find any pictures....

It's the "Kizashi Karbon" concept/project car. I've sat in it. Completely stock minus carbon fiber look vinyl on the hood roof, wing mirrors, exhausts surrounds and side skirts and also on the interior brushed chrome garnish. Stock suspension, 19" alloys. Cool to get some recognition though:)

I didn't watch the show but judging from what murcod and wonson92 said it is probably this car below:

Yep thats it in early stages, they since added the wrap on the hood and changed to different rims, I believe for motorshows.

Youll find a fair bit on google.

Interesting as I found that one- but it's done by Suzuki in QLD. I know they used to be not associated with Suzuki Australia and imported their own vehicles - at least a few years ago that was the case? It didn't have the Karbon decals on the front guards either?

Im not sure about the qld business but im almost sure its the same car. Same rims? The suzukis on the block are filmed by Hornsby - My dealer:D if you watched last year they had a swift in melbourne that was modded a bit aswell by some local guy.

Notice in that Caradvice article they also say " the Queensland distributors for the Japanese company have come out with a special edition Suzuki Kizashi Karbon". Perhaps it is the same one- or a similar copy?

(I knew about the separate QLD importer because the wife's Grand Vitara is a QLD model. It even has a different model designation on Redbook. The local SA dealer said they're exactly the same, but imported by a different company - so not listed on Suzuki Aust. computers.)

So I dont know if anyone watched the block tonight but it isnt the "karbon" kizashi I dont believe. Sports badges instead of 'Karbon' on the side guards and the interior garnishing looks to still be the chromy stuff and from memory it had the RF sound system at the motorshow but on the show theres no sub and a GPS head unit. Wheels are the same if not, similar, all the vinyl appears to be in the same exterior places

I missed it tonight. They've been plugging the GPS nav on the latest Kizashi adverts, so I guess they'd be silly to have the old model on The Block without it fitted.

PS: It would be funny if they had the sub and then tried loading the boot full with renovating goods on national TV.

I want the gps unit now:(

haha yea, I noticed last night they were actually driving with the boot fully opened, it didn't even appear to be tied in any way, it was bouncing around. They didn't show any external shots of the car this way but you could see it through the rear window from the in car cam. Makes me wonder how the Handles it.
