I'd like to see a little more power from a smaller engine. To compete with other cars that the design would put it against, the entire car needs to be a bit more "green" and a bit more powerful.
wanna bet?? Have you ever drove in bumber to bumber traffic? If every car took an extra 2 seconds to start and get put into gear every time you had to move, you would have total Chasos(sp)... And if the engien was cold it would take even longer to start. Imagine how the battery wear would be too if every 5 seconds it would have to start the engine to move in rush hour urban traffic..
Hey - Did you read my post? It appears you are in violent agreement with me.

I don't know if I'm in violent agreement with you but I do agree. The styling is radical enought to make it be compared with the "super cars" of the other makers.
They mostly have engines putting out 400hp+ and at 300hp, the Kizashi wouldn't compare favorably.
300hp is enough to go to get groceries but is not enought to make the AWD light up all four tires.
If they are sticking with the "dubs" then lower the size to 20" or increase to 22". 21" tires are rediculously expensive due to the fact that they are not a common size.
After see what it evolved to, from I to II to III, it's gone from something I wanted to buy (had offered the dealer a downpayment)( to just another Honda/Toyota look alike. They changed to much.
Ho hum, don't see anything I like.
