Suzuki is said to be unveiling the Kizashi 3 at next week's New York Auto Show, so we thought we'd refresh our memories about the Manga-styled Kizashi 1 and 2 concepts we saw at the Frankfurt Motor Show and Tokyo Motor Show. There's still no information about what powertrain (we've heard talk of a V8) or platform any car derived from the Kizashi concepts would ride upon, but we like where Suzuki's going with the idea. We expect that the Kizashi 3 may be nearly production-feasible, from what Suzuki has to say. Does this mean there's a sports sedan in the offing for Suzuki? Possibly. Or not. For a taste of what it might be like to see one of these cars actually out in the wild, we've turned up some videos of the concepts riding around in a digital world, posted after the jump.

Nice, but the Kizashi 2 lacks originality. It would only really stand out if released as-is since every other manufacturer tones down their concepts for production (save the few production-ready "concepts")

If produced, that front end treatment would make it stand out quite well.
Unless parked to the upcoming refresh of the Aveo hatch that is.

Maybe it's me or the poor quality video but quite a few scenes in the 2nd video of it running around look like CGI..

Both videos are entirely CG

so Kizashi is the sedan/4dorr hatch version and Kizashi 2 is the CUV?
