Not to ahhhh..... take a negative outlook on this, as I would like to see it happen, but I don't think it will happen. I mean, you want it to be "cheap", but have all of those offroad features? Also, the fact that jeep is the only real rigid axle vehicle available to someone not rich and they are thinking of going to ifs, kind of tells you were the market is. If suzuki did come out with a predecessor to the samurai in the states, it would probably be more like a sidekick.
