shepp 2,285 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think it looks good. About time it was updated and I am glad it has old school 4WD styling and simple design. Hope it is a bit bigger than the last one. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/suzuki/jimny/100543/new-2019-suzuki-jimny-suv-revealed-first-official-images 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigmac 97kt 13,730 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 i DO LIKE IT BUT IS IT GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS THE OLD ONE SOME TIMES CHANGES ARE NOT FOR THE BETTER IN MOST CASES JUST MY OPINION MIND ATVBJIMMY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comanche 2,799 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 It's got a very 70s/ 80s look to it. The you tube video makes it look a bit bigger than the present model ;as do some of the publicity shots . Though its hard to tell as it's being fawned over by Japanese chaps who tend to be a bit little. It certainly looks wider at the back and in the video seems to have narrower tyres than the present model which should save stress on the front steering joints. Jimnys have been around long enough to have a couple of known weaknesses that really should have been designed-out by now. Hopefully the new model will have them sorted. Trouble is ,it'll be few years before the new ones are old enough for me to afford! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I would like something that looks like this but of a size in between the old Jimny and the LR Defender, with a basic 1600cc engine.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,095 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The old jimney is the Morris minor of modern motors, millions made and they will be on our roads for years to come, that thing at the top is to spread it's appeal to the USA I would suggest, though they should fit just one seat if it's as small as the old model to accommodate one lard arse and a supersize premium deluxe monster chicken meal with fries and a gallon of extra fizzy double sugar drink 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KES2 171 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I have an old G wagon which I am about to sell - this new Jimny looks very like it except for the bonnet mounted indicator side lights - it will become a classic if, as others have said, Suzuki have made it a bit bigger and dealt with the models current problems. A bit like the evolution of the G wagon. It looks good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
