Hey guys, I just thought I would drop a note about this article I saw. It looks like the Kizashi might share the same platform as the Chevrolet Epica. I’m not too sure if the guy has his facts right though. You can probably decide for yourself.

Here is a link the article

Here is a link the forum this guy got his information from (or set him straight rather.)

Keep up the good work. I look forward to see how this page develops
Later.

The Kizashi is an all-SMC platform. That, and SMC and GM have 100% parted ways...SMC is in bed with Volkswagen now.

I think the original plan may have been for the Epica and the Kizashi to share the same platform. The ball was rolling for both of those cars before the whole GM meltdown. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with Suzuki and Volkswagen over the next few years. We were talking about a TDI Kizashi before, but I'll probably just make a new topic on the subject since it is bound to come up again.
