Ridiculous Vehicles
#76
I have seen Samuris that have been modified to become some of the very best rock crawlers.
They got a bad rap by consumer reports. The magazine shortened their slalom course so that the pylons were closer together. They claimed that they had to because the Samuri had such a short wheelbase. They tipped it over. Of course in the real world it was no more prone to roll-over than many other vehicles. That one test that they published wiped out Suzuki's business by 80%. Raw deal.

Samurai's sold like hotcakes, then the buyers would come to the parts department, buy a gazillion accessories. But after C/R, sales dropped to almost zero. Cerritos cancelled their Suzuki franchise.
