Suzuki Death Watch 15: Kizashi Bests Camry In A Bittersweet Final Victory

Kizashi Beats Camry! No, it's not a reprise of Dewey Beats Truman, but the Suzuki Kizashi landed a parting shot against mid-size kingpin the Toyota Camry, soundly beating it in the latest round of IIHS crash testing.

The Kizashi, along with the Honda Accord, were the only two cars to receive a "Good" rating in the 40 mph front offset crash test. The Toyota Camry, along with the Prius V receieved a "Poor" rating, with Automotive News reporting

In both of Toyota's vehicles, the crash caused significant intrusion into the occupant compartment — in the case of the Camry, the front wheel was forced sharply backward toward the driver's feet. The driver-side airbags also failed to fully prevent a blow to the test dummy's head in both crashes.

Too little, too late for Suzuki. But it must be nice to know that it beat the Camry at least once.
