While it’s only known for its tiny cars, motorcycles and its compact SUVs, Suzuki is now getting serious about larger cars and will be taking on Toyota’s Camry and Honda’s Accord as early as next year.

According to CARandDRIVER, the Suzuki Kizashi 3 concept based mid-size sedan will arrive in late 2009 as a 2010 model year.

I would like to see this in a coupe and possibly a convertible. THey would need to work on quality. The only really good thing to come out of suzuki recently is the Busa.

The ninja was a 1400cc bike. The busa a 1300cc bike did take the thrown back.

Agreed, aeyjay.
It does appear that Suzuki has source more than just the 3.6L V6 (non-DI) from GM. Hopefully the production car will look just as nice as the concept photos.

Yup S4, nice Audi grill. I also noticed that the XF in yestertday's post had the GS roofline, which you forgot to mention.

Not to worry...the production car will hardly resemble this...Suzuki is the master of bait and switch and spin..EVERY new model is preceeded by a hot "concept" car that gets watered down with the production version. If the Japanes execs in charge at Suzuki can find a way to screw it up, they will.
