Certainly, some individuals might still drive a V6, and Suzuki says one should appear in the next season or two.

As amazing as it is, the Kizashi does have a few disadvantages operating against it. First, Suzuki doesn't exactly have an substantial seller system, creating a test-drive and assistance possibly challenging. On a sensible stage, the Kizashi's a bit lesser back burner could also be a turnoff for individuals used to the newest supersized sedans like the Union and Mazda 6. Then there's the name, which is certain to generate a lot of emphatic "You generate what" from associates and family
