ok, since this post has become basically a community puke bucket for the new GV (it seems most people don't like it), we should change it to a jimny post...lol... anyway, i had heard that the trackick was a replacement for the samurai, but the jimny looks more like a samurai than the samurai itself!! ok, i don't know exactly what that means, but either way, WHY THE F' DID THEY NOT BRING THE JIMNY TO THE STATES?!?!?!? or i don't know... they still have the chance!! does the solid front axle come from the factory? i don't think there would be a huge number of sales, like a jeep, but suzuki doesn't really sell that much cars anyway, do they? i think suzuki could sell enough jimny's to make them say "we've definately done something right this time!!" but they definately need JUST the right sales pitch... they can't just drop a load of them and say "ok folks, here it is, buy it"... but i don't know, these days, most everyone wants massive power in their off-roaders.. i mean, how many jeepers have you seen dropping v8's in something that is already so great?? there's a ton of them... but maybe if the gas prices keep going up, that should help out suzuki... with the smaller engines, with the ability to have such a great vehicle, even with a small motor
