Back when they were made 4wd was a luxury. I don't think it was a 4wd? but I think the Suzuki Samarai should have been in this rather than some others. The Samarai was very small and able.Originally Posted by circmand

Let me put it all int perspective for you....
The writer of the article drives a Mercedes CLS550 AMG. Which also must mean, he has never popped his own hood, put air in his own tires, or washed/vacuumed it himself. Do not take offense to THIS GUY, spilling nonsense about YOUR vehicle.

It was a VW Beetle chasis with a different body. I always liked them but performance they did not have and were never a utility anything. More of a cheap surfer vehicle

The VW thing WAS SO a SUV...
It was a great Surf Utility Vehicle...
I had one back in the 80's...punched out to 1800+cc, dual Webbers, etc, etc...
It was a fun car to drive with the extra HP, but suffered from IDB syndrome...(insufficient drum brake)
Also fun to take to the beach. No creature comforts, rigid framed side windows that slid into channels & were stored up front in the trunk.
NOT a fun vehicle to drive during torrential rains.
And yes, 2WD.
Saw a really cool tube buggy in Moab a few years ago, wearing VW Thing sheet metal, & wearin' it WELL...
