the answer is Consumer Reports did testing on the lil Samurai's and stated in their "findings" that they were easy to flip. and likely to lose control in an "accident avoidance manuver" or high speed lane change. Fact is they skewed the results, changed data to fail the Suzuki. I have owned a few sami s and love em. they drive very solid. just don't try to drive it like a vette. lol it is a SUV after all.
They sold really well until the mid 90s. Then everyone stopped buying them. People began to feel the need to drive safer cars. The Samurai was replaced by the uselss X-90 in North America. But it is actually still sold in South America and probably elsewhere as well.Why was the Suzuki Samurai discontinued?
The Governments felt that Suzuki Samurai is dangerous for those who drive it like a Corvette. Since it is imported vehicle, a great reason to stop selling to North American.
They were unsafe and rolled easily.
They were replaced by the Vitara / Grand Vitara / Vitara convertible which was heavily overengineered to be stable around corners.Why was the Suzuki Samurai discontinued?
The question should be why were they ever built...
the stupid government says it was to easy to roll over. if people would drive normal all cars would not roll over.
