If you want a Kizashi you better get one soon.

I used to like the Suzuki sidekick in middle school. Ah youth.

Kind of a shame, I guess.

I thought the Kizashi or whatever it was called was one hot motor shy of being a great small car. Why Suzuki, the purveyor of the Hyabusa, couldn't come up with some hot, screaming motor is beyond me. Same with the Swift, had they brought their motorcycle motor prowess into its engine bay, that would have made for a real zinger.

Instead, they settled for mediocra competance and just sort of blended into the woodwork at best when Suzuki really needed to stand out and carve out a distinctive niche for itself.
