It’s been a long time since we last posted at IJ. After the hacking and shock removal from Google we’ve decided to take the site in another, more modern, direction.

In the intervening months we’ve been hard at work to make that happen, and are happy to announce that IJ V2 is nearing completion. We won’t release any details at this time, but we’re sure you’ll love it!

Stay tuned!

We’ve been continuously hacked, and in a turn of bad luck completely removed from Google for having spam inserted yesterday before any of us could remove it and fix it. 8 hours grace since insertion, and with no warning of removal is a harsh call, Google, very harsh. How a major search engine can punish us without warning, due to the actions of malicious web users is unbelievable, hardly fair and not warranted, but these are the breaks.

In light of this, we are moving from Wordpress to Drupal, throwing up a new theme and getting a good makeover. The update will take a few weeks to do, but we’ll be back. If there’s anything your particularly want to see on the site, feel free to send us a suggestion!

In the meantime we’ll continue to post if we’re able.

To all loyal and new visitors, thankyou for your continued patronage!

Suzuki has piqued interest ever since the unveiling of the Kizashi concept back in 2007. After all, it’s not often we see a large car concept from the carmaker, known for it’s rally and motorbike heritage and a history of compact (and very competent) small cars.

The new Kizashi follows some of the flowing lines we were shown with the Kizashi 2 concept, while clearly showing a refinement from the concept to an almost production appearance. Gone are the dazzling paint jobs, 4WD ride height, crossover sports wagon styling, and headlights. Instead version 3 of the Kizashi rides on 21 inch, 9 spoke chrome wheels, sports a new, sharper headlight design, wider split grille, a more muscular front end, and 350z style rear haunches becoming almost a 4 door sports car.

Along with the stunning stylistic update come some juicy details. The new Kizashi will carry a 300HP version of the GM’s new DOHC 24-valve 3.6L V6, come with Suzuki’s advanced i-AWD system mated to a paddle-shifted 6 speed automatic transmission and will comfortably seat 5 persons.

It’s one of the most solid close-to-production concepts we’ve seen and Suzuki claims we will see production of the Kizashi in some form in 2010, with construction planned to be at Suzuki’s new Sagara plant in Japan. Here’s to seeing Suzuki build this, and since we’re wishing, we might as well throw in a wish for the X-HEAD too.
