I just saw a commercial for it. It doesn't look like anything special, but neither does the base model impreza really. i dont know a ton about suzuki cars, but i know their bikes are nice.

$20-25K.

wikipedia has this to say:

The Kizashi comes standard with front-wheel drive. All wheel drive (based on the i-AWD system featured in the Suzuki SX-4) is optional and includes a driver-activated FWD mode to save fuel. Its only engine at introduction will be a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder with 185 hp and 170 lb/ft of torque, though a V6 or turbo-charged four cylinder option are expected at a later date. Available transmissions are a 6 speed manual or a CVT. The CVT version reduces power to 180 hp, and has a 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) time of about 8 seconds. [7] The Kizashi offers 17 and 18-inch alloy wheels, Akebono sourced brakes, a choice of cloth or leather seating surfaces, and a 425-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth capability. A hybrid variant is also in development.

Sounds good...but the price point is a little higher than the base Impreza and I'm not sure if the masses will get behind Suzuki that quickly....folks are just now seeing that Hyundia is making a good car in the Sonata (2010 model is beautiful) and Genisis.

With that said, I have been interested in the SX4 hatch for a while now. I'm not getting one...too small for the growning family.

 
Kizitchi, Its a lot bigger than the Impreza. More Legacy size. And the AWD ver. only come with CVT.

I've driven the SX4. Not a bad lil car, but the 2.0L seemed anemic to me.
