Suzuki is a big name when it comes to motorcycles, but as an automaker the company is still small. Despite impressive growth in recent years due to affordable compacts and crossovers, the company is still refining its lineup. Among the most anticipated new vehicles to emerge from Suzuki is a new sedan based on the Kizashi concept vehicle.
With the production model recently unveiled, the Suzuki Kizashi appears to be ready for its debut in U.S. showrooms. The Kizashi sedan will likely be sportier than other midsize sedans it will be competing with says Suzuki Service Rochester. Although overall length makes it stouter than the Camry, there should be ample interior space thanks to a wheelbase that’s actually longer than that of the Camry.
Powering the Suzuki Kizashi will be a 2.3-liter and 3.6-liter gasoline engines. Front-wheel drive will be standard with available all-wheel drive as well. One Suzuki dealer specializing in Reading PA bad credit car loans says a six-speed automatic transmission complete with paddle shifters will also be available to add to the vehicle’s sportiness.
The 2010 Ford Taurus may not sound particularly exciting for most automotive enthusiasts, but it will likely play an important role for the automaker as it struggles to turn its operations around. Highlighting the importance of the renewed Taurus nameplate is a new ad campaign that will showoff premium-like features that Ford hopes will help set the sedan apart from its competition.
In all-new Ford Taurus ads, the automaker is not going after the likes of Chevrolet, Chrysler, or even Toyota. But rather the Taurus is going head-to-head with vehicles from Acura, Infiniti, and Lexus. As unusual as that comparison is, Ford is hoping that consumers take note of the quality and features that the new Taurus is packed with says DC Ford dealers, which hopefully will appeal to weary consumers searching for value.
Among the ads running to promote the new Taurus are those touting the vehicle’s quiet interior and even the Taurus’ chip-resistant, high-tech paint. Luxury car buyers intending to buy a Lexus are not suddenly going to choose a Ford Taurus instead, but Ford Service Waldorf says that buyers looking into an affordable mid-sized sedan will likely be looking for any sign that they’re getting value for their money, and these ads are intended to provide that reassurance.
