Suzuki's Kazashi Test Drive Challenge Offers $100 to Audi A4 & Acura TSX Buyers (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/03/suzukis-kizashi-test-drive-challenge-offers-100-to-audi-a4-and/)

Called the "Kizashi Test Drive Challenge" incentive program, Suzuki is offering sport sedan buyers $100 if they test drive the Kizashi first and still end up purchasing either a 2010 Audi A4 2.0T or four-cylinder 2010 Acura TSX within 10 days of the test drive. The program ends runs through January 31, 2010. Says Koichi Suzuki, executive vice president of American Suzuki Automotive Operations:


With styling, performance characteristics, luxury features and a new advanced All-Wheel-Drive system on par with the Audi A4 and Acura TSX, we're excited to extend this unique offer to consumers across the country, providing potential sport sedan buyers another reason to consider the all-new Kizashi-at a substantial savings. We're definitely putting Kizashi's premium without the premium moniker to the test.

Interesting eh?

Resemblance?

yep, definitely the same design there

[BraXta]

OMG .... itsss UUUUUUHhhhhhhGGGaaaaalllllyyyyy lol

i dont like it ... lol

rather roll the suzuki guy for the 100 bucks and drive away with my 04 euro cause im not a fan of the new VW passat or euro (sorry other CU owners =P)

seriously tho car manufacturers are running out of ideas for looks....

new HSVs... hmmmm audis onto something with their front ends BAM FOG LIGHT DESIGN FROM R8 Audi...

i could go on all day but ill probably kill my keyboard lol

the car market is becoming weak with looks... they all look the same in some way now....

maybe honda should use the front end of the Euro and make a 4WD like mitsubishi did to its lancer =P

[hisoka]

id drive that

[denot]

I dont like the look, compared to the cu2. But then again, i prefer cu2 looks to cl9. Heck i prefer fd looks to cl9. Too square-ish n oldies cl9 for me, looks the same with most car. Cu2 looks diff. Sry cl9 owner :p

What happened there ? the concept car looked awesome, the production version looks nothing like it.

[nickxau]

Welcome to reality! hahaha...

I like the AWD idea though...

[r-r-redEuro]

i see that the interior looks like the US tsx.

[furythree]

the concepts were so awesome

kizashi 1 headlights were awesome

[felixd]

well im sure some of us will buy this car :)

[tony1234]

I'd be interested in taking it for a test drive.

[albii]

Honda or Suzuki? I know which one i'd rather drive.
Off topic, has anyone realised how the new Liberty looks like a holden epica?

I'd take it for a test drive but i don't think i'd own one.

[OMG.JAI xD]

Its nothing special.
They did or had planned of a high powered awd sports sedan or coupe. But plans changed.


The pre production car is what you see in the previews. The end result. Is a restyled sx4 with a grand vitara engine.


Its a wonder why suzuki is so succesfull with high powered motorcycles but cant or dont produce any exotic/supercar-like cars.

^^^ so true

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I was going to get a CU2 for sure ( which is why i joined this forum ) but ended up buying a Kizashi.

The rear end looks a lot better than the front does for those saying it's ugly but we all have our own taste. Reason i bought the kizashi over the Euro is because the Euro was $3000 more not to mention suzuki gave me $25,500 to trade in my SV6 Commodore while honda only offered 23k wtf? I went to 3-4 different dealers and everyone offered 25k, Holden, Mitsubishi, Subaru etc. Larke Hoskins Honda basically shot themselves in the foot. Overall the Accord Euro is a better car, i test drove it and loved it, i like the look etc but when the difference all up including trade in is $5,500 i had to make a choice. If Honda offered me 25k trade in like everyone else did i probably would have gotten the Euro.

[MikesVtec]

Not a bad purchase I'd say. Your sv6 must've been pretty new for 25.5k trade in price. Yeh Larke Hoskins Homebush don't offer too good trading prices, but their first offer is only the starting point of negotiations. Snap some pics and tell us how it goes.

[djpro1]

damn I'd gladly get the $100 and use it for fuel :D

Suzuki had a challenge in Australia last month,where if you test drove a Kizashi,but bought a Euro,Audi A4,VW Jetta,Mazda 6,or Subaru Liberty instead,they would give you $200.

I drove them all,but previously had a Jetta,and the Euro felt like it was a class above the rest,so I bought the Euro,and got a cheque for $200.

Very happy with my choice.

[minircc]

From the front it just looks like a big Swift.

[antony]

I think the front is very much like a Jetta,without the chrome...
