Hah, good find!
That's just about the perfect proportions. It even has 5-spoke wheels too. |

Reminds me of one of my favorite "close encounters" with a modded vehicle.
I was with a group of riding buddies on a weekend excursion in the Kentucky mountains camping/ATV riding. One day on the trail we here this "sound" coming towards us. Around the bend comes a "slightly" modified Suzuki Samuri. It was jacked up on huge tires and had an obvious engine replacement. The guys driving stopped and we got the details. It had a Cummins diesel engine out of a school bus stuffed under and through the hood and was riding on the tires off the bus! Turns out, this isn't that rare of a thing.

The little Suzukis are great off road vehicles...good approach/departure angles, and a short wheelbase gets it into places a lot of other 4X4s can't go. Simple, light weight, nimble, good on fuel, and fun to drive. A little short on power, but that helps you be a better driver.
That sounded eerily familiar... .

Looks good Slick, glad to see that the rendering (Sketch-Up?) included an FT86.
So have you folks received an email to "See Scion's exciting new line-up at the Ottawa-Gatineau Auto Show"? Yeah, better see 'em quick before Scion disappears! |
