Being in the market for a cheap new car used to mean resigning yourself to time bombs like the Chevrolet Citation or windups like the Geo Metro or Ford Aspire, but the times, they are a-changin’, and the good folk at Kelley Blue Book have worked up their very own top 10 list of cool cars for under...

Miami isn’t exactly a driver’s town. It’s a tangle of perfectly perpendicular secondary streets demarcated by lengthy stoplights and the occasional drawbridge or toll booth. Perched on the very tip of Florida, it’s one of the last places we would voluntarily spend time behind...

“You’ll turn blue in the face if you’re holding your breath waiting for a V6 Kizashi.” That was the word from a Suzuki spokesman at last night’s insider preview of the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport. It makes sense since Suzuki and General Motors have parted ways and that V6...

The 2010 Kizashi will change the way you look at Suzuki. To put it bluntly, the Kizashi is the strongest evidence yet that Suzuki’s automotive division is no longer operating on autopilot in the States. And what’s more, the brand is showing serious confidence. Consider the vehicles ...

We liked our time behind the wheel of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. It drives like a little sports sedan and doesn’t look half bad, and now Suzuki’s newest sedan has another attractive quality: it’s priced to sell. The Kizashi will start at $18,999. The base Kizashi isn’t exactly...

We totally dig the new 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. It’s a bold step forward for Suzuki and (hopefully) a harbinger of great things to come, which also happens to be what “Kizashi” means. However, the looks are a little, well… not outstanding. Not that it’s particularly bad-looking...

The 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas starts next week, and lots of automakers will be in attendance with versions of their production vehicles that take tuning to a whole new level. Suzuki has a new vehicle to show off, the Kizashi mid-size sedan, and will be loading its lineup with four examples that...

There are things that Suzuki does well, and things it doesn’t do so well. Among the former are its motorcycles and small cars like the Swift. Among the latter, well, just take a look at their success in the North American market. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t offer the Swift –...

The Suzuki Alto concept is The Kei You Would Never Suspect: unassuming looks belie the fact that this is car Suzuki is going to use to reach a wider audience. The exterior – which, frankly, looks like a ton of other itty bitty already plying on Japan’s streets — has been subtly tweaked...

Shut your eyes and say the word “Suzuki” out loud. Unless you’re a moto-head or one of those rare Geo Metro fanatics (they exist, trust us), the image that springs to mind isn’t very nice. Odds are that the car your subconscious conjures is tiny, cheap and bizarre. It’s...

Just a few months back, Manager Magazin in Germany reported Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piech was interested in procuring a small stake in Suzuki. Those rumors were subsequently denied by Osamu Suzuki, chief executive of the automaker that bears his name. Now, news from the same source that there...

The Kizashi sport sedan, which originates from the Concept Kizashi series introduced over the last two years, follows a similar design theme and appreciation for performance previously illustrated by the three eye-catching and immaculately designed concept vehicles. The production Kizashi redefines...
