I thought Suzuki did....

:laughing:

From four wheeler magazine's "The Worst 4x4s Ever!" article:

"The power on these little trucks was incredible…for a sewing machine. In fact, the drivetrain is so bad the transfer case decided to get divorced from it! There’s also no way you can sleep in a Samurai, so it’s no good for camping either. The Samurai is a fun little 4x4, but driving one means you’ll get compliments like, “Cute car, my sister had one of those!” and “They still make those?” Or you’ll get people pointing and laughing uncontrollably at stop signs."

Many farmers and ranchers like them for around the farm. Cheaper than an enclosed 4 wheeler to run and buy.

Yes they are handy machines, that's for sure. Consumer Reports panned them because of rollover concerns. There was a lawsuit for something like 8 years.

Like towards the end of this video.... relatively low speed.

But, it's kinda obvious the CR was determined to make the Samurai look bad... here's a 2 part video on how they did that. Very interesting. Be sure and watch through the 2nd part as well.

About 10 years ago we bought a new AWA TV. It kept breaking down right from new. AWA decided to pull out of Australia and left another company to honour warranty. They repaired it 3 times and then didn't want any more to do with it.
I threw it to the tip when it was about a year old. Family gave us some used flat screens, 32" and 55" and they still work but are too old to get all the channels. They need set top boxes. One set top box blew up so we lashed out and bought a Hi Sense 65" Smart TV. It has been a fabulous TV and I can watch it without my glasses. So far we have had it for about 7 months. The 55" is a plasma and is suffering from burn in now so I can see a 75" in the future.
