Re:2019 Jimny in USA

Anyone have any information if Jimny is coming to USA in near future. I am so tired of having oversized 4x4 with terrible gas mileage and super expensive. There is no reliable, affordable alternative at present in USA.

will wait a another year or so than maybe get Subaru forester :S

Not living in the U.S. anymore, I haven't followed the stories much of the Jimny going there. Toyota is going to team with Suzuki on some projects (haven't followed that much either) and there was a rumor that they would possibly badge the Jimny as a Toyota and introduce it in the U.S. It would fill a niche that has been lost ever since the Samurai left the states. If you need something within a year, I really doubt that you would see anything by then.......assuming it ever comes.

I assume privately importing it to the USA is out of the question?

The fake consumers union "Roll over, moose test set up" was the real death knell for US - Suzuki relations.

There is more to this obviously.

USA rules prevent import until it becomes "classic" after 25 years.

Expect a decent market in shipping old Gen3 to appear in 2023

I know a couple in Florida ( gen3) that appear to be South American ones that have somehow made it in.

importing rules prevent me from bringing new models plus this would also defeat the purpose of saving money.
