I really don't like it
Yes, in the sense it has four wheels and round headlights.
And the boxy, turd like shape as well.
Yes they did, as the Samurai. 1991 was the last year though, so we never got the coil spring version. Consumer Reports magazine killed the Samurai in the US just to prove that they could. Sales were very strong until CR gave it a false failing grade.Did Suzuki ever sell the Jimny in the US? This would make a good alternative/replacement.
What happened to the Samurai was indeed a hit job. Essentially a Consumer Reports staffer had an embarassing rollover while driving their Samurai like in idiot in daily life, so when it came time to do a review, they modified their normal safety test course to require some moronic maneuvers that would cause ANY early trail-oriented SUV to roll over on pavement. AFAIK, the only vehicle ever subjected to the modified test was the Samurai.Yes they did, as the Samurai. 1991 was the last year though, so we never got the coil spring version.

I had one when I was college and loved it. Wheeled it a few times and it would go anywhere the big boys went. Never once did it act like it was going to roll over (as CR claimed).
Prices on used ones have skyrocketed, too. Can't find a beater for less than $3500.
It's a sphincter, not a valve.Speaking of the shape of turds. Do you know why turds are tapered at the end? So your butthole doesn't slam shut!.
