No more Suzuki Kizashi's(?) in America, but Suzuki motorcyles are still a go.

Here (http://www.dealernews.com/dealernews/article/suzuki-seeks-chapter-11-will-refocus-motorcycles-atv-marine) is more detail, motorcycles and ATVs will remain unchanged, only automobiles are affected. This really doesn't surprise me, Suzuki was a very small player in the automotive market and the marker still is not good

That and they killed their reputation with cars like the Swift and the Samurai. (And yes I know the Sammy made a great off road vehicle, after you replaced everything on/in the damn thing).

That kizashi is one badass little car, sucks they're done though.
