i like it ... but it doesn't have bumpers

which means it wont be approved for canada

hopefully the production version (assuming there is one that doesn't deviate too far from the concept) will be able to have bumpers w.o horribly recking the awesome look

and yea, i dont think it really looks like the IS either

Looks more like a VW than the IS. I like the look though...

I can see what he means by it looks like an IS. Just think concept not production lol.

Suzuki wants a Mazda6-sized family car to replace the Verona (The Camry/Accord are too big says Suzuki). It'll be a proper Suzuki, not a rebadged Daewoo.

Concepts are a waste of time and money. No chance in hell Suzuki will sell anything like that in the next few years.

AWFUL.

At least put a ROOF on it. That thing is nothing but beltline.....it looks like the Jolly Green Giant stepped on it.

And pull up the bottom half of the grille to about half of its size...it looks like Linda Lovelace in front of Bill Clinton.
