New Optima Wagon in camo spotted for first time... while browsing the photos I saw one of ours truly in the background! (side note: I need to get my headlight cutoff that sharp)

Nice find. That's really rare given that's a Kizashi in Germany. On Autoblog, there are better pictures and the driver's face is photographed.

As for the cut-off, that's because the Kizashi in the photo has factory HIDs which the North American market never got. HID projectors have sharper cut-offs than halogen projectors with HID kits. The headlight washers on the bumper give it away that this Kizashi has factory HIDs. I wish NA Kizashis had things like folding mirrors, factory HIDs, rear fog lights, headlight washers, etc. like Euro-specs but that would have raised prices beyond what Suzuki could get away with in the US.

Depending on funding and how long my Kizashi lasts, the Optima Wagon could be my next car should I like the styling. That concept blew me away last year.
