You and Your Suzuki 4x4

by Paul Guinness

Published 21 January 2005
Introduced in the late 1970s, the first Suzuki 4x4, the LJ series, carved out its own market niche as a compact, rugged and affordable workhorse. The LJ evolved into the highly successful SJ series and Samurai models, which offered buyers a fun alternative to similarly priced hatchbacks and saloons, and bcome the first 'lifestyle' 4x4s on the market. When the Vitara appeared in 1989, it proved massively popular as an insurance-friendly alternative to a 'hot-hatch', and since then the Suzuki off-roader brand has gone from strength to strength. This all-colour book will fascinate all Suzuki 4x4 owners and enthusiasts.

The Mitsubishi Pajero was first launched in 1983, creating a new class of 4x4, smaller and more affordable than the Range Rover. Renamed Shogun for the UK market, and Montero for Spain and the Americas, this rugged, yet refined, off-roader rapidly became Mitsubishi's best-selling export product. In the 22 years since its introduction, the Shogun's popularity has gone from strength to strength, and in the UK grey imports of Pajeros now outnumber official Shoguns, while the Shogun brand has expanded to include the Shogun Sport and the Shogun Pinin. This fascinating book is essential reading for all Shogun owners and enthusiasts.
