Suzuki pins hopes on all-new Kizashi

Suzuki makes great motorcycles - everyone knows that. However, their car business has never quite measured up to their two-wheel business. Yes, the Grand Vitara has sold decently well, but it is not a breakout product.

Now, Suzuki has unveiled a car that it hopes will change things and move the company upscale. Behold the Suzuki Kizashi. Details are still scant, but we know that the Kizashi will be available with the following:

- 2.4L 4-cylinder engine
- approximately 200 hp
- approximately 180 lb-ft of torque
- all wheel drive (switchable to FWD)
- 6 speed manual or CVT transmission
- sports tuned
- 425-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth capability
- sporty suspension
- high-end Akebono brakes
- 18" wheels
- mid $20K price

The car is decently handsome (with not too little a resemblance to the VW Jetta, don't you think)? Tell us, would you consider a Suzuki the next time you are out shopping for a $25K car?
