A friend of mine had exactly that car, carpooled to work in it quite a few times.    I had a Probe GT before that he had ridden in lots and liked, influenced his decision to buy his Mazda

All within 3 blocks of each other in Dundas.

Black Ferrari FF
Matte Blue Lambo
Black BMW Z4M
Red Miata (ND)

At one time the first two would be the ones I would pick now I want the last two.

Saw a Suzuki SJ410 - you know, the ones with the metal, body-colour painted grill.  It wasn't until they gave them the black plastic grill and exported them to the US that they got the name "Samurai."  The one I saw was the two-door version, like the white one in the ad below, but black.

I've always wanted one of those.  There was a dealership in Bathurst when I was in school and they sold quite a few in the area.

They were hugely popular in St. John's when they hit our market, as was the Niva.

You could probably make a fortune in this country importing Nivas and selling them as alternatives to side by sides.  A new base Niva sells for just over CAD10,000 in Russia.

The cladding always makes me think of boat and jet ski like things. Dunno why.
