If they brought the Jimny over to the states, would you pick one up?

Looks pretty sweet. It would definitely peak my interest, depending on the pricing (esp. if the diesel option were to be available).

There was a petition on the Suzuki forum that you could sign and send to Suzuki.

I would definitely give this a look. Unfortunately, Suzuki's resale values are some of the worst I have seen so I don't think I would pick one up new. It would be nice to have some smaller suv's instead of just cuv's.

I saw one of these on a trip to Ireland and thought it was a cool, capable little truck. Don't know if I would pick one up since I have a truck I plan on keeping for a long time. But it is a cool little truck just like the Sami was/is when then brought it over.

in a heartbeat! ive been looking into shipping one and its just too much.

Pretty cool looking, are they true 4wd with a low range etc?

 

[dustboy]

If they did, I'd hope they didn't still call it the "Jimny". Sure, I've seen worse names, but "Jimny"??

Probably not for me, but I would consider one for the kids when the are driving age. Most likely they will end up in Subarus or Jeeps though.

Couple of helpful links here.

Is the Jimny still a real truck?


Back in Trinidad, my brother had a Jimny in the early 90s. Totally sweet

 

[winkosmosis]

OK I would definitely buy one

You'd have to at least look - in my opinion Suzukis hold up pretty well - I delivered pizza in a Samurai in Breckenridge in the late 80's, so I can vouch for that models unstoppable-ness. Seems like the timing is right, even with the currently low gas prices the market seems to be shifting smaller.

Cute and cool, but nah. I´d rather save my pennies to buy one of the new generation Toyota 4Runners.

It's not for me. Looks like a redesigned kia sportage (i'm sure more capable, but I like my SUV's boxy). Plus, I gots me some kiddies, and not a lot of room in there.

 

[Cackalak Han]

It still has the body on frame design. I'm not that keen on the styling, but it's not bad. Now, if they start making a hardtop, I'd have to change from a maybe to definite.

Not for me, I need a little more passenger space, but I'd love to pick one up in 10 years when my son starts driving.

Maybe I would have to see how I fit first. They have been around for a long time in Europe and Japan so they have been proven capable and well made.
