I'm all for brand loyalty, and the car is awesome.  But seriously?
just performance/acceleration wise the A4 and TSX would own the Kizashi.  They should challenge people that would buy the Civic or Corolla, the Kizashi has much more to offer than those cars at least.

I've had a '06 Civic Si for a couple years now.  I'll take something like a Swift GTi or Jimny 4x4 to park beside it.  I like the Kizashi, but Suzuki established themselves in the U.S. car market with affordable compacts and 4x4's, not $25k sedans. 

Actually, the base Kizashi starts at 18k, it's just with all of the options that you can push it up into the 25k range.  And that is with absolutely everything.

I hate to be cliche' but this car is a "game changer". It is very nice and represents a whole new approach for Suzuki. If you're looking to get a smaller mid-sized sedan, you owe to yourself to check the Kizashi out.

I totally agree 100% to the "game changer" title.  This car is amazing.  but A4, TSX amazing???  not even close.  I stand by my comments that this test should be against the Civic and Corolla, 2 cars the Kizashi would beat in just about every way.
