They should have welded two busa motors together and dropped it in one of their little shitboxes and maybe they would have sold enough cars here.

They never really caught on and were in a low profit margin segment of the market. Oh well. Perhaps they'll be an OEM supplier of engines or assemblies for someone else in the future.

It's a shame. They should have tapped into their motorcycle heritage to build a car with some real inspiration. Instead they built the Aerio, the worst turd I have ever driven.

Well, that's that. BMW now owns the hot sedan segment of the North American market.

Too bad - the Kizashi showed that they have the skill and will to make a good car. If they applied that kind of engineering to their entire lineup, they'd have probably turned it around (eventually).
