I'm still blown away by how common these cars are in NE PA. I just moved to a new area and there are atleast 8 in my neighborhood. I would estimate I see roughly 15 Kizashi's everyday.

Pennsylvania is Kizashi-land. I see more Suzukis there in general.

I've gotten waves and thumbs-up from other Kizashi drivers but have only been asked about the car twice (by strangers, not including family/friends). Once was the guy manning the gate at the lumber yard and one time I was stopped at a light and a cop pulled up next to me and asked about it. He seemed to like it!

WIKizashi...it will happen often trust me especially if you remove the emblem in the back. Kind of a nice feeling...is that a Lexus or an Audi? (Me a the car wash)..euh actually it is a Suzuki Kizashi and we talk about it for a few minutes..it happened like 10 times in the past 3 years...just at the car wash...there are other times as well

I did a double take in Salina, KS. I sat down in my Kizashi, and then has this weird sense of confusion as I stared at another Kizashi that was the same color as Azumi. Once I realized I was in the correct car, I drove around and found out it was an S AWD Kizashi that was parked right across from me. Then on the way home I saw a grey GTS/SLS go passed me on the interstate.

Also on the interstate, I saw a mid-2000's Ford GT as well as a Dodge Viper. Both had the same paint job. Yellow with the double black stripe over the hood/roof. :)

Just saw a pretty nice Azure Grey Kizashi with aftermarket wheels passing by on Main street in Moncton (New Brunswick, Canada). What a nice color. The plate was from Nova Scotia. It was probably a Sport or SX model and possibly a 2012 or 2013. One of you guys?

Been a long time since I've spotted any on a regular basis. In 4 years in MKE, I saw a total of 4 Kizashis including our own. :O

But now that we're in Chicago (just moved), the girl that parks next to us in the garage has one and I see a beautiful red GTS/SLS parked at the wife's train stop regularly in the evening. I believe that red one is a member on here, but I can't seem to find the thread where Chicago people were posting. :(

I've talked to the girl that owns the one next to ours and she's up for a meet if we do one. If the red one will meet, we can have a super-huge kizashi meet--three whole cars!

Well Chicago's only about 2.5 hours for me, so I'd join up for that meet. I still haven't seen another one.

And if you come we could make a Kizashi oreo since yours is a twin of ours. :mrgreen:

I think a spring meet would be really cool. If my work will give me enough time to even attend such a thing.

Saw a nice Ice Blue Kizashi Sport AWD on Friday in Silver Spring, MD. The driver also noticed my Kizashi and gave me a thumbs up. Due to traffic flow, we ended up directly behind and in front of each other on the freeway and on a street. Seeing other Kizashis, I'm always reminded how good looking this sedan is.
