I love it. I test drove a Suzuki Samurai in 1986 and they only had 63hp. It was bare bones and slow on the highway but it was a lot of fun. They have a bit of a cult status but it is hard to find one that isn't either beat to death or heavily modified. I would love to see this come to the United States along with some true small pickups like they had in the '80s.

I bought a Samurai in 1987 and loved it. I drove it cross-country from Livermore Ca to Morehead City NC. It climbed (slowly) through the Sierras, through high winds and blowing snow in Wyoming, and a snow storm in Kansas City. That thing took a lot of abuse. My step-father and I took it to wooded sand swamps in Carteret and it never got stuck. One time we took it through a wet swamp and realized after driving through about a half mile of water, the dry spot we came to a stop on, was the only spot for another mile of water. My brother in-law said, 'well, now what, you can't turn it around and the water is too deep to back through'. The Samurai turned around on a two track wood path in four moves. That brother inlaw has owned a Samurai for the last twenty-plus years.

I'd love an old tin-top Samurai as a runabout/off road toy, but the ones without rust are getting spendy these days.

Best one I've seen in years, with one little question mark on it...
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

So it looks like Suzuki has a problem on it's hands, in the most positive variant of a problem. They completely underestimated demand, everywhere from Europe to South Africa.

Apparently 2019 production has been sold out completely. Allegedly there is a waiting list of 32 month.

It is being bought by everyone from hunters and forestry people who want a small, capable off roader that had modern amenities like Apple Car Play, but do not want to spend the money on a Wrangler, to young people who are buying it because it's cute.

I'm not surprised. I would totally rock one if they sold it here. They delayed an Indian launch because of demand, too.
