I'm a Range Rover owner for years so when my lil sis showed up in a 2020 Jimny I flipped,
back home my Polish neighbor had one from the 70's

I watched many times as he'd heard his goats in and out of fields
and never got stuck in mud unlike me ..lol
one time I looked on as his 4 teeny sons each pick a corner and carry the suv
half a mile back to the farm, funny as ..lol

Theres been much debate weather such a small suv needs 4x4 wheels at all
as the jeep is so light it works much the same as the Volks beetle,
where being so light you don't need power to all 4 wheels

Suzuki Jimny Off-roader Sold Out In Mexico In Just 72 Hours

But what I do like very much is its just so small to take on all of Europes narrow back roads
with its tiny 650cc-1.5 L motor meaning great fuel range, but crappy performance
the car gives you everything you need but not want says my sis, cheap as hell insurance I like

Now on the 4th gen but due to the overwhelming paperwork needed to export cars to the us
many carmakers including Suzuki won't be exporting any time soon

I you run a small biz from home this could well be the car that does it for you

check it out, now I'm gonna convince my sis to leave it for a bit

Its like Euro cars of the 1980s is what the us car market is now,
most in the states want the good oll stuff from back then
thats proved to pricey, with most cautious of electric cars
and with rising gas prices most us car users have been forced to
comprimize and moved to the larger asian models
with the old favorites GM and FORD total failures

but hey they do win but they don't see it
here the ford Ka, I was forced to drive one for a week
and got very attached, just for eaze of parking and dodging Swedish cops

but ford soon fucked it to this, sorry to say I don't know of any GM worth a snot

Aren't tariffs on American vehicles in Europe extremely high? Even in movies or TV news, an American car or truck is rare in Europe

Chevrolet actually addressed one of the major issues in the newest Corvette. It's designed to be able to be built as left or right hand drive. Once they get production up to par, you're gonna see the rear engine Vette on every continent, and I'm betting they will be common sightings.

I've been trying to remember the last American car I saw for sale, I vaguely remember a friend bleating on about the Tesla Electric car
but I thought thats built in China like most BMW's, Mercedes, Volvo, etc

Yeah mine was the dark blue and we never had a top lol

Man you put a 22re and drivetrain from a Toyota pu and that thing is sick. I know someone that has one like that.

I also had a 4d hardtop Geo tracker. Had 31's on it and that thing was surprising for what it could do. Built a 2d soft top on 33's for a friend. That thing was pretty unstoppable in the rocks and woods.
