:lol

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.

Badhobz 12-23-2023 07:24 AM

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

List of trash:
- XRS Corolla in beige (ideally with gold emblems)
- Royal lounge Alphard
- Toyota century

Especially the royal lounge alphard. If you guys see one let me know

Buying ridiculous shit on a whim.

The kizashi was a neat little 4 door sport compact with AWD.

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.

noclue 12-23-2023 10:49 AM

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

Badhobz 12-23-2023 11:10 AM

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

twitchyzero 12-23-2023 12:17 PM

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.

whitev70r 12-23-2023 02:01 PM

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?

Also my brain struggles to flip everything around. I can do the left-handed shifting ok, but I keep hitting the wipers trying to signal a lane change.

I want specifically the current Jimny :D. 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.

JDMDreams 12-24-2023 10:34 AM

I'll just leave this here, perfect for Costco, holt Renfrew, la chicken runs

What brand swaps those around too? I don't ever recall coming across a car that reversed that due to RHD.

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.

^ It was a buddy's '91 Celica GT4 RC.

All the RHD cars I've driven has the stalks swapped, signal on the right and wipers on the left. Admittedly that's only 6 cars over a few brands though, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

twitchyzero 12-25-2023 11:15 AM

afaik they're swapped on jdm
but ukdm is same side as usdm

tegra7 12-25-2023 09:23 PM

Hey Badhobz I found your next car. You like Maserati..right?

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
