I would have thought that the Suzuki would be cheaper than the Toyota RAV 4 .
Toyota do cloud the issues with their variants under the RAV 4 banner....how can you have a 2wd RAV 4 .....that's why it's a RAV4 ..4x4 ...
Plug in electric is the only option now really with the constant lowering of the date of death of the ICE ..
luckily I'm fully content to keep my old 80's Suzukis bikes and will just keep repairing my cars ....the less electrics the more reliable .

Quite like that, looks interesting. Wouldn't swap leviathan for one but that's because of the lower towing weight

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

The Spartan looks intersting , based on a proven by the Russian Army for years machine . Proper retro. Far more appealing .

When I saw the name Spartan I thought of this kit car, based on a Triumph Herald or Spitfire, which I first saw at a motor show in Birmingham in the 70s.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartan_Cars

I notice that they also produced the Spartan Treka from 1990-95.
