Suzuki are by and large a small engine company look at the range of cars they sell and the Turbos are more expensive than the non Turbo and the Jimny sits below the Vitara so I'm afraid a small engine
Martin, I am starting to agree with your vision as the pictures I have seen seem to have a very similar undersides to the present car. I have the feeling they are not going for a mini Chelsea Tractor but an inexpensive 4 WD Jeep for the Asian and Indian market with as you say a slightly tarted up model for Japan, Australia and Europe.
For Europe read Ignis which is a more consumer friendly car and will sell in numbers as the vast Majority of Jimny's never go off the road in Europe.

That's a good point. I have come to like not having to select four wheel drive and so I like it permanent. I like the go anywhere concept of 4x4 but now I don't do fields selectable appeals less compared to twisty roads in the wet and of course go anywhere still applies. I'd want the bigger wheel version with big tyres.

I drive an Impreza which is constant 4WD. I have no interest at all in it being switchable as that gets in the way of using the car.
