Kizashi Release Info

[Moto]

It looks like the Kizashi hit show room floors in Japan this week, and it sounds like they will be making it over here soon. (Probably already on the boat)

[Moto]

Starting price $22,000
Fully loaded $24,000
What you get to pick from (for now)

EPA Fuel Economy Estimates:
21/31 manual FWD with 16-inch wheels
20/29 manual FWD with 17/18-inch wheels
~Kizashi manual 0-60 mph: 7.5 seconds (mfr)
Numbers below tested on a 90 degree day so it can probably do better.
1/4 mile (sec. @ mph) 16.0 @ 86.6
0-60 with 1-ft rollout (sec.) 8.0

23/31 CVT FWD with 16-inch wheels
23/30 CVT FWD with 17/18-inch wheels
~Kizashi CVT 0-60 mph: 8.3 seconds (maybe this might slide up or down a little)


23/30 CVT AWD with 16-inch wheels
22/29 CVT AWD with 17/18-inch wheels
~Kizashi CVT AWD 0-60 mph: 8.? seconds (Haven't seen anything I trust yet)
I'm thinking mid 8s to low 9s


20/29 6 speed manual AWD with 17/18-inch wheels....? Please

The release date is somewhere around December, which, imo, is a bad time for a car to be released. But the earlier the better I guess. I just hope they're ready, as this is pretty much Suzuki's last hope.

Yeah, I hope it gets here a little early... I talked to the Suzuki dealer last week and they hadn't even heard of the car yet. Needless to say I was a little disappointed in them
