According to the June issue of Car & Driver, page 31, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi 3 will go on sale in Japan in late 2009 and reach U.S. dealerships in early 2010. Arguable the Kizashi 3 will be the sexiest sport sedan on the road in 2010. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/20/new-york-2008-suzuki-unveils-kizashi-3-concep- - t-coming-in-2010/ The Kizashi 3 is a tad smaller than a Mazda6 but slightly larger than a BMW 3 Series sedan and will be powered by a (front or all-wheel drive) 2.5 inline-four or a 260 hp 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine derived from GM’s high-feature V-6, the same engine found in the Cadillac CTS and Malibu. Base prices will start in the $21,000-to-$28,000 price range. The Kizashi 3 will sit on 110.2-inch wheelbase identical to the Honda Accord. The new sedan will spawn a wagon version and a crossover to replace the current XL7.

Replying to: kdshapiro (May 04, 2008 5:35 am) The previous Suzuki mid-sizer, the Verona, wasn't competitive. This new design looks on paper to be fully competitive. So I think that is a good thing--yet another option for mid-sized sedan buyers, and a Japanese-made car at that. In fact, when it arrives it could be the only mid-sized family sedan sold in the U.S. sourced entirely from Japan. |

Replying to: lilengineerboy (May 04, 2008 1:41 pm) I'm still reserving my final judgment until I drive it. I do like what I see so far. If I had never seen the JDM Mazda6, I would like this one even better. |

Replying to: aviboy97 (May 05, 2008 8:34 am) From what I have seen so far, the 2009 Mazda 6 would absolutely be at the top of my list among mid-size sedans. I have had several of the current generation Mazda 6s as rentals and like them OK - except for the noisy 4 cyl engine - but I would never have considering buying one. The 2009 with the 3.7 engine will be a definite possibility, though. |

Replying to: m6user (May 05, 2008 8:55 am) Or: 1. They're a little annoyed that they didn't wait to get the '09 and got a '07-'08 instead. 2. They're too young and/or ignorant to fully realize that the Mazda6 is supposed to be a Midsize Sedan, and not a riced-out Civic with graphics, 22" wheels and a two-tiered wing that can double as a set of bleachers.  Of the other Midsize Sedans, Mazda's got a winner IMO. Being a current 6 owner, I'd like to think that my tastes have matured since 2004, and so has the second-gen 6.
