Well, the official unveil isn't until tomorrow, but pictures of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi are already up in the Car Lounge forum. After years of seeing one concept after another, it's great to see that Suzuki finally found a way to get this car into production. More details on it tomorrow, until then this is all we've got for you.

I thought it's Saab 9-5 by looking at the first pic

Acura RL clone. That's not the car a floundering brand should want to copy.

This is a really good looking car. I'm glad Suzuki decided to push through with it.

Looks like a very handsome sedan to me.

From the side the rear taillights look like the subaru impreza and the front has a hint of hyundai genesis. Overall I think its a nice looking car, especially considering its a Suzuki.

I really, really like the front clip but the rest looks like a normal, inexpensive Suzuki product.

I think the concept car still looks a lot better

I Like It. But I'm having a tough time figuring what cars it competes with.. Civic/Corolla, Accord/Sonata, or ?

its a nice looking car. I've owned a suzuki before.. the build quality is nothing compare to honda and toyota but for the money, its reasonable. i think their quality is improving over time. i really hope this sedan can do what the 2006 sonata did to hyundai.

nickkkk,
It's mid-size car. Think Legacy, Mazda6, etc.

This car is based on GM's Epsilon platform. It will be built in Japan powered by a Suzuki designed 4 cylinder engine or a Japan built version of GM's 3.6 litre high feature V-6. The car is about the same size as a Saab 9-3.

Its a nice look for a suzuki but the front is a little too busy for my tastes

If its about the size of a 9-3 then it could be too small. i really hope suzuki will keep the "Kizashi" name. i think its a cool name even tho i'm not quite sure what it means.

This doesn't look anything like the RL. It's pretty sharp. Like a more masculine Jetta.
The wheels could use some work. I've seen sort of the same thing on the new Taurus and it doesn't look to good on either car.

Come on people…the front end resembles the Audi S5 totally and I like how the car look. I can’t wait to find out what Suzuki has put under this car hood and how it handles!

sxyqdawg- I immediately thought the same with the grill that it reminded me of an Audi
I think it looks like an Audi with RL headlights seems like a pretty cool car. It could do well with good power and MPG . . .

...that actually pretty nice imho (the concept at NYIAS was just cool), almost reminiscent of the last gen Legacy front end. It's like a Legacy and 9-5 combination, hopefully the details will prove to be pretty interesting powertrain wise.

Wow, each epsillion car gets better! The g6 was ok, the Aura was decent. The Malibu was good. This car looks GREAT! Heh, i may buy one in the future! Way to go Suzuki!
Give me 170hp, Manual Transmission, Sunroof, and heated seats and i'm sold!

They stole the center grill from the VW Jetta/Audi lineup....so did BMW 3series.
