Here in New Zealand the Jimny's been around since about 1999 . They dont seem to be hugely popular  compared to the Vitara.Although they are as capable as the Sammy That shopping trolly design may put some buyers off.For any half serious offroading the fenders need to be taken off as they have lots of hidden cavities that hide mud and later on rust.Id buy one if I wasnt too tall for them , as it is my Escudo only just fit me comfortably, thanks to the high roof.

Cool picture and nice ride Rhinoman!

nz_escudo, Suzukis, in general, are pretty popular down in New Zealand, are they not?

I'd certainly be interested in a Jimny if they come to Canada...although the vert version of it looks a bit odd with those little rear windows...I'm sure I could live with that though ;)

yeah  zukis are popular both as housewives shopping trolleys and as serious offroaders.There are alot of sammies and sj's used in the national trial series although heavily modified with toyota alloy v8's , lockers , side brakes, rear wheel steer etc. The biggest trouble i have is that  aftermarket  gear is very hard to come by no shops think its worth doing mods on a shiny truck. If only there was a calmini or rocky road outlet here in NZ.

I know how you feel.  There are no shops remotely near me where I live that deal with the Suzuki line of 4x4s...everything has to ordered from the US which can cost a fortune with the currency exchange and shipping fees.  :'(

Go to Coche, scroll down to Suzuki Jimny, hit Buscar button, then click on any of the 14 pictures.  Suzuki XL-7 is also in the race, under Grand Vitara.
