Part 2 of 2 This Kizashi 3 concept unveiled by Suzuki at the 2008 New York Auto Show was the, you guessed it, third Kizashi shown in a span of just six months. The first was shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2007 and the second made its debut at the Tokyo Auto Show a couple months after. Suzuki says this rendition is the closest to production and mostly clearly conveys the direction in which the sport sedan is headed. Kizashi number three boasts a 300-horsepower V6 connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A Kizashi-inspired production model is set to arrive by 2010, according to the automaker. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit www.kbb.com today.

In 2008 at the New York Auto Show Kia unveiled the Koup concept. And only a year after, at the same show Kia brought the Forte Koup coupe, a model that stays quite faithful to the concept. The Forte Coupe will be offered in EX and SX versions, with prices starting at $16,595 and $17,695, respectively.

The idea for the car is simple: a sleeker coupe look for the sharp Forte sedan. That also means the engine lineup won’t change from the sedan. The Koup will be available with either a 156 hp 2.0-liter or 173 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Both engines are mated to either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission.

Standard equipment includes: air conditioning, a driver’s seat height adjuster, adjustable rear seat headrests, tilt steering column, rear defroster, center console with dual cup holders, map lamps and variable intermittent wipers.

Press release after the jump.

Kia Forte Koup originally appeared on topspeed.com on Monday, 8 February 2010 16:00 EST.
