Suzuki Samurai (1983-1988)

The Suzuki Samurai was a mid-80s spin-off of the company’s long-running Jimny range of sports utility vehicles. The vehicle launched in the mid-1980s, and was certainly… of the era with an array of bright colors and 80s-design flourishes.

Unfortunately, the cars had a built-in flaw leading to numerous rollovers despite the vehicles traveling at safe and normal speeds. Suffice to say, that proved to be detrimental to the car’s market prospects.
