That's a cool fucking car, I wish they still sold cars with that much personality

    They're called Jimny in Japan and Latin America. Check them out. You can import a 25+ year old one for about $7000, usually with 49k miles.

    I thought the Jimny was the Samurai

    I've owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time...well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.

    And yet the Model F trucks are consistent best-sellers today.

    It’s the short wheelbase and solid rear axle. They are unstable even driving straight.
