The Most Influential Modern 4x4s
http://www.fourwheeler.com/project-vehicles/129-1203-the-most-infuential-modern-4x4s/

Overview: The Samurai was powered by a 1.3L four-cylinder engine that made 63 horsepower. Solid axles were used front and rear and a two-speed transfer case split power to the axles. Suzuki sold 47,000 Samurais in the first year, the bulk of which were convertibles.

Brubaker’s take: What’s not to like? They were inexpensive, they sported solid axles, and they had a two-speed transfer case. They were nimble and simple. It’s no wonder they sold so many of these. Someone needs to produce something like this again.

Cappa’s take: It was way before its time. And it’s unfortunate that it was not introduced when fuel was more expensive. The carbureted ’86 Samurai was rated at 23 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. In the late ’80s and early ’90s a gallon of gas cost about a buck, so few cared about fuel economy. Today, if Suzuki, Jeep, or anyone else created a similar fun, small, capable, easily-modified 4x4, that got great fuel economy they’d have a winner. Think mini-Wrangler.

Holman’s take: If it weren’t for the biased media outlet that destroyed the Samurai’s reputation, we might still be enjoying this nimble and fun little wheeler today. In the current market there is no doubt it would be a hit, especially for those cross-shopping little cars. Are you listening, Suzuki?

It's a cheap thing you wouldn't understand.
