2010 Suzuki Kizashi Sport – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nMiami isn’t exactly a driver’s town. It’s a tangle of perfectly perpendicular secondary streets demarcated by lengthy stoplights and the occasional drawbridge or toll booth. Perched on the very tip of Florida, it’s one of the last places we would voluntarily spend time behind the wheel, but despite the bumper-to-bumper traffic, hair-raising lane changes and lawless nature of the traffic patterns, high-end metal is the norm down here. <\/p>\n

We’re fighting for our right to merge against a Bentley Continental GT<\/a>, Ferrari F430<\/a> and a murdered-out Nissan GT-R<\/a> as we make our way toward South Beach, contemplating the implications of dinging a car worth more than our mortgage when it dawns on us: The high rollers around us should make way – we’re driving one of the most unique cars in the country.<\/p>\n

Suzuki<\/a> was kind enough to hand us the keys to one of the only Kizashi Sport<\/a> models in existence. In fact, this is the same prototype that took center stage<\/a> at the New York Auto Show<\/a>, and while the suits in Japan have demanded that this Sport eventually meet with the Great Crusher in the Sky, the company’s PR team have managed to keep the sedan from meeting its untimely fate long enough for us to do battle with traffic.<\/p>\n
