Jimny vs. Jeep
« on: August 27, 2011, 01:14:59 PM »
If Suzuki started making these here, they could have the budget 4x4 market all to themselves.  The Jimny/Samurai still uses live axles and a ladder frame as well.

This picture shows how the Jeep has evolved like many other cars and just gotten bigger every time it is redesigned. The Samurai is about the size of the original flatfender Jeeps.  Huge difference!

Yup, the Jimny has grown as well but not nearly as much.  It's a good size now.  I kinda like it.

Those are very common around here.  Not many modified, though, as you see with the Sami's (lifted samis are a dime a dozen around here)
