And just remember you can most likely thank our dear friends at Consumer Reports for that.

Not sure what they said but as I understand it they don't sell it here because it's the successor to the Samurai and we all know how much C.R. likes the Samurai.

You guys know what?  I got a feeling that those Jimnys might come to our neck of the woods.  Suzuki is suppose to introduce some more vehicles in the next few years, so we might get lucky.

Here in Canada, we don't have them...yet.  Suzuki seems to like Canada quite a bit so maybe we might get lucky.  :P

Actually I've heard from two sources now that these Jimny's might make here in 2005. But I would take the info with a grain of salt untill I hear an anouncement from Suzuki. If they do come over here I'm really interested in one. I've also got alot if pics of Jimny's lifted, and moded 8)

I don't mind the Liberty look either, but the design is a serious compromise with the IFS compared to the Cherokee, then again a much larger percentage of people would rather have the better driving on the highway with the IFS than the straight axle or they probably wouldn't make it that way.  And for as much as the Liberty costs it's pretty dinky inside.  Not really a whole lot bigger than a Grand Vitara for way more money just cause it says Heep on it.  For that kind of money I'd much rather get something like an Xterra or a Grand Vitara and have money left to play with.

I don't mind the Jimny, but the concern I have with it is the fender design looks like it would take a big lift to put any decent sized tires on it.  Hope they do start selling em here though if only because it has that in your face thing towards Consumer Reports.

This is my gf's Jimny. Its six months old, in this pic it has the standard alloys but off road we now run SJ 8 spokes with 215R15 MTs. Its a great little car. 1.3 litre 16V engine with MPI and distributorless ignition giving 80bhp. Power steering is stock across the range, suspension is coil sprung live axles and the car has LOTS of potential. Hot mod is to swap the tcase for a Sammi item to compensate for larger wheels. These little trucks are just starting to become very popular with the off-road fraternity and there are more and more custom parts becoming available for them. There are more pics and specs on my site:
