I prolly would have bought it! for it's simplicity.. btw anyone else thinking that Doug DeMuro is ripping lines before a review? Wonder if he takes a pause in between takes for a bump..me-up? At 15:10 there's dead bears dancing on this thing.. that answered all my questions.

Ummm.... Yea. That guy is on something. I don't think he stopped to breathe the entire time. Good grief! I started skipping towards the end of the video. I could only take so much of him!

On another note, If I had the extra money, I would buy one as a toy. I had the chance to see one in person. Ran into a guy at a gas station here in Texas. Pretty cool. Instantly made me want one.

I'm not going to click on a Doug DeMuro video, I've had enough of that guy for a lifetime. Jimnys are sweet, though. I just saved this one I came across the other day, looked pretty cool.

Suzuki could release only the Jimny in the US and they wouldn’t be able to make them fast enough to meet demand for 5 years at least.

shoot if that’s too much of a hassle to go back into the US market, they could even do a deal with GM again, and just rebadge it as a Chevy Jimny/Chevy Tracker or if they had it in them reintroduce the Geo brand (a guy can wish right)

After having owned a Tracker and a Suzuki Vitara, I would purchase one of these in a heartbeat. Great simple vehicles that you couldn't kill. Well we did with the Vitara after my daughter rolled it on the freeway when she was in College. Scary phone call but she came through unscathed. The vehicle was totaled but performed admirably.

If Suzuki wanted to put out a serious barebones little offroader for a super low starting price, i think they'd have a niche hit on their hands.

26k AUD converts to 18k USD. I'd buy one (though i'm sure my wife would have a fit)
