The Suzuki Samurai (also called
the Suzuki SJ-series) was first unveiled in the United States in the year 1985.
Almost immediately, it was an overnight sensation for its target market - those who traveled
in back country areas. The Suzuki Samurai became
widely accepted for its
toughness and reliability
in harsh off-road conditions.
When it was launched, the Suzuki Samurai was considered an excellent vehicle for
beginners in the 4wd (four wheel drive) community. The basic, simple design of the
Samurai made it easy for owners to make custom modifications and upgrades.
In subsequent years, revision to the car made the vehicle more comfortable and
more reliable. Newer models that reflected this included the 1988.5 Samurai. However, over the years,
these revisions were not enough. Like any other automobile is subject to, the Suzuki Samurai,
slowly receded from
dealerships as demand dwindled,
until it was permanently withdrawn from the Canada market in 1989 and from the
USA market in 1995. The reasons for this decline are not exactly clear although there were
some safety concerns and the demand for pick-up trucks was increasing.
Still, the Suzuki Samurai, does continue to be remembered as a sturdy and rugged
vehicle. Older models are still being maintained and driven. The reason for its long life in the
otherwise volatile public memory
can, I suppose, be partly attributed to its catchy brand name - everyone wants to be
associated with a Samurai...
On a side note, Suzuki also has a range of Samurai
motorcycles which too gained good popularity in the automotive market.
