Work is apparently underway on the new Camcord competitor, and proof of Suzuki's efforts have appeared in a Southern California parking lot. Although the entire car is covered in camo, a few subtle details, including the grille and profile, appear to keep with the original concept, which garnered a substantial amount of acclaim when it was originally unveiled.<br /><br />As pointed out by <a href="http://www.autofiends.com/index.php/2008/07/spy-shots-2010-suzuki-kizashi/">Autofiends</a>, the Kizashi sedan looks a bit smaller than the vehicles it will be competing against, particularly when you consider that the Honda Accord has grown so large that it's now classified as a full-size car, akin to the Toyota Avalon and Buick Lucerne. We welcome the idea of a smaller and sportier option, especially one equipped with an offshoot of GM's 3.6-liter V6, which is expected to join Suzuki's Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive when the production Kizashi debuts next year. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/">Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept - Live Reveal</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/711312/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/00_kizashi3live_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/711311/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/01_kizashi3live_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/711310/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/02_kizashi3live_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/711315/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/03_kizashi3live_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/suzuki-kizashi-3-concept-live-reveal/711307/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/04_kizashi3live_thumbnail .jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autofiends.com/index.php/2008/07/spy-shots-2010-suzuki-kizashi/">Autofiends</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.autofiends.com/index.php/2008/07/spy-shots-2010-suzuki-kizashi/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/22/spy-shots-suzuki-kizashi-prowls-the-strip-mall/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1262581/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/22/spy-shots-suzuki-kizashi-prowls-the-strip-mall/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
