Suzuki's latest "Authentics" concept car for the C-Segment (compact cars) looks closer to the Kizashi than anything we've seen from them. This may be the next generation SX4 sedan.

I first thought it was going to be the next generation Kizashi but it's a for a smaller segment which the SX4 occupies.
I am pleased to see this as a possible new SX4 because I have always disliked Suzuki's designs for their compacts like the SX4 and the Aerio. Finally something sleek.

I'm not too sure about this car....I know concepts are a long way from what ends up on the road but this looks too big, a bit bloopy and no offence to anyone a bit like a cross between a Camry, a Volvo and an Audi.

Nothing wrong with a bit of 'borrowed' styling but it could dissapear on the road.

Although the Kizz can look a bit like a couple of other cars at a distance, it's a bit more of an individual!

Having said that...if they build it...I hope it does well. I'm sure it would be a beautiful car to own.........

I thought the same as you except was thinking a cross between an Audi and a Honda Accord. It also looks bigger which i don't like. I prefer the current Kizashi with its genuine midsize and individual look.
