This may sound a bit odd from someone that has been obsessed with Porsches the last few years but a couple of weeks ago I ended up in the Suzuki garage and ordered a new Suzuki Jimny.

I just love the quirky funky nature of this new model which is being released in January 19. The styling looks like a mini G wagon and it's a proper off roader:

Of course it will be compromised on the road because of it's ladder frame suspension but I figure it might be a lot of fun on the rough stuff.

Apparently Japan has gone mad for it and there is a 5 year waiting list over there. Here there is going to be delivery of about 600 cars in the first 6 months. I'm deposit number 5 at my local dealer so if you want one get in there quick.

I figure it will be very strong in terms of residuals and may end up being over list in the first year or so.

What a marvelous contrast to our badge status heavy tarmac rippers - much respect Arif !!

Even more so, as a savvy financial play!
With that 5 year Japanese waiting list you quote, it would be amusingly ironic if it became a grey EXport opportunity. ( as someone once tempted by grey import Mitsubishi Evo’s)

A Suzuki jeep and a 911. A perfect combination in my book and just what I currently have.

that's an interesting observation fun rider - yes the irony of people exporting them back, although I believe the engine in the Japanese version is different to comply with local regs.

Yes Scooby probably would suit a replacement to Rav4 - my dealership said they will likely get 10 in the first half of the year, so if you are interested I'd pop down to your local dealer.
