It's a bloody clone I tell you... .
This my friends is the new Suzuki Kizashi
Points of similarity:
- The dash meters are a clone.
- Paddle shifters & CVT
- 8 airbags
- 425 watt Rockford Fosgate premium audio system with 10 speakers
- hands-free calling with voice command
- 235/45R18 tires
- leather wrapped parking brake handle and steering wheel with cruise control.
- automatic rain sensing wipers, automatic headlamps
Improvements??:
- AWD (that's a big one)
- 3-position memory driver's seat
- Push button start comes default
- air conditioning piped to rear seats default
- telescopic steering
Their design process must have been: "Let's look at the Lancer. whatever great? We'll copy? What's missing we'll add it!"
I wouldn't be laughing at this Suzuki... . It's bloody amazing!! Think this is a real value for money buy. To date, I can't say that I would buy another car besides our beloved lancer. If I were buying now, I probably would go for one of these!

Not coming?? Seriously now, I think Suzuki would be stupid NOT to bring this in... . It'd compete against the CIVIC, LANCER, IMPREZZA sedans and win because of the price.

I'm not kidding when I say this. I'd actually sell my Lancer to buy this.
They even have Akebono brakes as standard!!
There is only a A$2500 difference between the 2WD and 4WD versions!
OK so it doesn't have MIVEC but but it has so much more otherwise!! I've never been so excited seeing a car!
I reckon this has raised the bar. I can't wait to see what the next Lancer is going to be like!

Yeah that really does look like a lancer clone especially in the interior and specs, but all done up.
I have to concede this is a very nice car.
But I still prefer the lancer's external styling. Plus I suspect the lancer wouldbe better in handling.
