You know it's gotta be because Suzuki is poor and the best Marketing could do was spell stuff wrong to get your attention.
Poor Suzuki. They make a good honest product but just couldn't seem to catch on out here for some reason.

i always liked their products too but they were quite expensive compared to the run of the mill japanese brands. Like that grand viterra was 40k if i recall correctly. This was back in 2000's
Thats like high end 3 series money
Plus their bikes always overshadowed their cars. I loved my gixxers 600

Y don't you guys just import a Pajero mini, or older jimnys? They shouldn't be that much at auction and just add a few grand on top for shipping. I'm tempted to get one as winter beater, but luckily it seems like there's no winter this year and I'm thinking if I should just swap my winters back out.

I was wondering about this, isn't it better to import an alphard/vellfire from taiwan or another LHD country? Why Japan only?

I’d gladly take a LHD vehicle over a RHD. Making left turns are a bitch if you’re on the wrong side

grand vitara loaded up was low 30s but that was a lot of bang for buck (longitudinal layout and rwd bias, transfer case, ladder frame)
kizashi i would have one if it didn't have cvt they still look great in red, also low 30s so definitely expensive for a budget brand sedan, people rather get a subaru legacy for same or even less |

I've love to own a Volvo V50 T5 wagon with a manual. Exactly the size of car I'd want to own with a tonne of practicality.

what about this one? a bit high mileage but local (not from salt wintery ON) and cheaper, https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...690712444.html
Auto, not manual though but neither is the one in Guelph.
Or maybe an Audi A3 quattro 2006-2011 gen?

I agree the old ones are still pretty great though, and for sure the old ones are available in LHD too, because they were all over the place when I was in Iceland a couple years ago.
Edit: I saw a bunch of them Jimnys outfitted with in-car sleeping setups: the whole passenger side folded into a bed. Seemed pretty sweet.

It looks like the current gen came out in 2018 so you've only got 9 years to go. Which is odd because I could swear 2018 was last year.

I don't find left turns difficult in RHD you just peek around the right side of the car instead of left. If there's a massive line of SUVs and I can't see then I just wait for the late yellow to go.
The only thing I find difficult are the 45degree merges where you're turning right and just have a yield sign. But that's just because I have had stupid cars with insane blind spots.
That and overtakes on dotted lines yellow lines. But even then if there's a bend before the passing zone you can use that to see past the car in front and down the road.

Admittedly that's only 6 cars over a few brands though, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

Lee Iococa serati. This is even more of a rat bastard than the modern ghibli
Ugh. My poor poor brand what have they done to you. You used to be on the same level as lambo and Ferrari. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...699906499.html
Now this is a good maserati to buy. 6speed. Ferrari engine. Ferrari chassis.
This is basically a f430 6speed for 50k
