Tuesday we brought you first spy photos of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi.

Today the car was spotted on the German Nürburgring race circuit. Although the name may (or may not) change, this is the production version of the concept that made its world debut at the New York Auto Show earlier this year.

Obviously toned down a bit from the sleek concept, the Kizashi will be built in Sagara, Japan, and will arrive at dealerships in early 2010.

Suzuki is pitting the Kizashi up against cars like Toyota’s Camry and – in the U.S. – the hot selling Chevrolet Malibu.

Power-wise, we’re expecting the base model to be equipped with a 150+ horsepower 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, and the top-of-the-line Kizashi will be powered by a 3.6-liter V6 (with 280 to 300 bhp) mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The price will range from $21,000 to $28,000 in the U.S.
