Call me crazy, but I also really like this Suzuki concept car.
When it was first shown, it was called the "Regina". A year later, Suzuki renamed it to "G70". I think it would be a great city car with very distinct looks. It has the design influence of French cars from decades ago.

According to the article, it's a "trunked" version of the SX4 (or sedan) which would make it smaller than the Kizashi. It does look Kizashi size to my eyes as well, but it's hard to get a scale with nothing to compare it to..

The new SX4 looks like a mini Kizashi which is what I was expecting. Would love to see the inside too.

Also, I recently read in a Japanese car magazine that the car I posted about above (the Regina/G70/green weird looking car) is going to enter production in 2014 in Japan. I've seen the production design and of course it's not as cool as the concept.
It will however have a hybrid 800cc turbo engine and get around 35km/l or 82 MPG.

Looks like a last gen fusion with the side being a chrysler 200, and a civic rear. That last sentence is not a compliment. It just could be the angles.

Yeah, that was the last Kizashi concept car before the Kizashi went into production. Others included a cross-over under the same name. This is the car that most influenced the design of the production model. A lot of people really liked this concept car and when they saw the production model, they were disappointed much like with the trolling Subaru does with concept vs. production.

The concept car is quite old now as it was shown before the Kizashi as we know it went into production.

That's amazing that this was pre-production. I actually thought it might have been a 2014 concept!

It must have been an utter disappointment to see the real car after that concept.
