New Jimny 2017 Tokyo Show

Awesome for Suzuki, but not so great for those of us who want to buy their new toy right now damnit! :laugh:

Yeah, think the delivery time will be a bit longer than expected for some

As a sucker for red, and the fact that I paint cars, I would probably do this also!

That lift looks all wrong!! I would love it to come as OE lift as I like the visibility that comes with taller motors but it has to look right.

I would hope the 1500cc version could remove the sluggard feel to them.

OMG do you suffer with them too. I thought I was alone in thinking this. Up here in Lincs they are everywhere trotting along at 42 in 60 limits and 18 in 30 limits. it is bad enough with tractors, caravans, trucks and time wasting white van mans. Today I followed a tractor with a cesspit tank from Huttoft to Skegness doing about 22. Even the buses outrun most. I sometimes yearn for a motorbike but it lasts about 10 seconds. Then you get the ones who do 42 EVERY bloody where and when they see me about to pass them suddenly find performance. The roads are so bendy that the grey hair brigade (that's both men and women!) almost stop to take a bend. Gosh you set me off now!
Almost forgot the ones who brake to a crawl as they descend a hill...........why do they do that???
I need to stop . Aghhhhhhhhh

Only for the first year - after that it's £140 is it not!! Also my dealer tells me the car will come with an "on the road price" having the first year road fund paid for. Do we believe it.

I would IFF it had ground clearance Ie. high driving position.

If it had been released without all the blurb, I'd of gone straight out and bought one and kicked myself about it later. I think i'll wait for a couple of years and get a second hand, out of warranty model, That if it's had any problems will have already come to light and been sorted.
Then i also will not feel to bad about taking a plasma cutter to the wheel wells to get a set of 33s or 35s in there.:laugh: :laugh:

+1
Shame innit!!

For what country cos my dealer won't even entertain it yet.

The more I read about it, the more I'm desperate to get one!

I've read elsewhere that due to demand in Japan there is already a 6 month wait on new orders.

Best video I've found giving a thorough look at the interior/exterior:

It has heated seats 4 minutes 10 seconds in the video...
