Suzuki Kizashi: From concept to... disaster

Today my manager came in the office and asked "what do you thing about the Kizashi?" Shock, horror, disaster. Those were the first words that came to my mind.

My answer was dead simple (besides the strange look). Totally pointless for Europe. We are talking about a segment dominated by Ford Mondeo and Opel / Vauxhall Insignia, so there is no room for a big Suzuki with 2.4L engine and AWD.

Anyway, following this short conversation, I just though to gather photos of all the Kizashi concepts to see the... progress of the design!

 So, this is the first concept... not bad at all!!!

That's the second concept where designers decided to make it more trendy, thus SUV-like. Still acceptable though.

Hmm, after a lot of thought for the third one... it all started to go wrong, but no one could expect what will happen at the end...

Until the production version appeared... being a typical Suzuki, therefore boring and conservative. And you don't want me to start writing about the interior or it's oily bits... The end.
