European Patent Office leaks again: Suzuki Kizashi Patent Drawings

Someone working in the European Patent agency should be sacked (lawfully) but we're glad he wasn't, as these latest leaked patent filings of Suzuki for it's upcoming, first foray into the Toyota Camry segment Suzuki Kizashi drawings were shown. Honestly speaking we weren't that excited when we saw these patents, in fact we're very disappointed, given that the Suzuki Kizashi Concept first started off looking like something that would scare the shit out of the BMW X6 driver, then evolved into something that would scare the shit out of an Audi A6 Avant driver, and subsequently turned into a surprising good looking rival to the Toyota Camry, with excellent proportions and good looking profile, then it was spied suspiciously 'downplayed' in both it's styling and proportions, which is what we see here with the following patent leaks. Not good Suzuki, not good.
