"The Fastest Samurai"

$20000 plus invested

Turbo RX-7 Rotary rebuilt painted polished and fresh
RX-7 5 speed

With 300 high revving horsepower this is the fastest samurai you will likely encounter short of drag dedicated rigs.  Very streetable manners even with rear locker.  This rig will break loose both 35's while rolling.  I tuned this rig for the Sand Dunes of St. Anthony's in Rexburg, ID, but still be a sleeper, street style rig. It drives very nicely on the street and has a stiff 4x4 feel.  The 35's are best off road but if someone wanted a daily driver out of this you could live with the Mudders but obviously the ride is substantially better with AT's or other less aggressive tread styles.  I have used only a couple times in the sand and mostly grocery getting around town so the build is very fresh on every nut bolt and joint.  It has been fun blowing away tuners, Porsches, diesels.  Definitely surprises all who run across it.

I will try and answer all reasonable questions.  I will answer all questions for serious bidders with feedback history.  $1000 non refundable deposit due at close of auction.  Balance due 7 days or other agreed upon arrangement.  Vehicle is stored securely, indoors when not in use.  If your question goes unanswered please resubmit or rephrase.  This vehicle in its current configuration should be considered an offroad racing vehicle first and a street legal daily driver second. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere exactly as it sits.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Suzuki has to take out $45M loan just to shutter US dealers

Thu, 08 Nov 2012

Bloomberg reports American Suzuki is set to borrow up to $45 million to to close its automotive dealerships and freshen up its it motorcycle and marine business. Suzuki Motor Corporation will loan American Suzuki the funds at three percent below the London Interbank offered rate in order to offer dealer owners a cash payment in exchange for voluntarily abandoning franchise agreements. The company's 216 dealers have 10 days to make a decision on the matter. Under the plan, Suzuki would give dealer owners half of what they're owed in one lump sum, and the dealers would then be able to pursue the remaining debt through the company's bankruptcy procedure.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson granted American Suzuki interim authority to borrow the funds, but Bloomberg reports the company will likely return to court in a few weeks to seek up to $100 million. According to Richard Pachulski, a lawyer for Suzuki America, the automaker may owe its dealers somewhere around $50 million.

Remembering Suzuki of America... in commercials

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

American Suzuki Motors is leaving us, but as long as the lights are on at YouTube, its commercials will stay behind to remind of the times we shared. We dug up nine commercials - sort of like a Time Life infomercial for an entire brand - and among the starring actors are the X-90 improving the 90s with the help of a Pez dispenser, the Peter Pan-ish Sidekick, Optimus Prime getting his pipes all smoked up over the 1987 Samurai and an XL7 that would have sold in the millions if its commercial were even half true.
We've also included a remarkably oddball eight-minute featurette/commercial about a giant Suzuki Swift. You'll find the retrospective in the videos below. Enjoy.
