And, you apparently missed the point. No surprise.
I think the chicago thug is a troll who enjoys trying to get a rise out of people.

If you have the right to tell the motive behind my own opinions, then I have the right to tell you where to go. Now, if you want to talk about Suzuki instead of your speculations as to how I arrived at my opinions, then let's. Otherwise, jog along.

I did not speculate on your opinions, you made it clear that you do not understand the capabilities of the Samari.

Do you even know anything about 4 wheeling?

You're still trying to make it about me when the topic is Suzuki and its future in the U.S. market. Try again.

Ya know, some people will never get a point, even when it was explained rationally from the beginning. Then they blame the other for making it personal, when in fact they started the personal attacks.

The Suzuki Samari was a victim of morons that know nothing about what capabilities the vehicle was designed for. When that happened they lost momentum.

How far that momentum would have carried them is hard to tell.

My Samurai has appreciated nicely... about 300% over the last 12 years.

During my tenure... it has worked very hard... only had to change oil and replace the battery... it has over 100k and passes my state's smog with flying colors each time.

Would I picked it to go cross country... no. Is it a rugged little 4x4... yes.

Yep, it is tough to find one for a decent price now.

How could that be if is is so 'cheap' and such a POS?

Had the company been allowed to continue with that sort of vehicle they may have stood a better chance here in the U.S.

But, now those that seek out such a unique and capable vehicle are left will less choices because 'someone' deemed them to be unsafe.

Are they ever going to get a firm footing in the U.S.? The automotive dealer family in my town stopped selling Suzuki. Do they have a larger dealer network in other countries?

Easy -- there are so few of them left because the vast majority of them have rotted back into the earth.
