New Jimny waiting list

Thank heavens for that!
No offence, but I have experienced Japanese cars and motorcycles built supposedly to Japanese standards in Spain and England. Unless I am the unluckiest person in the World, they patently are nowhere near the same standard, and no way will I accept one unless the VIN starts with a J.
This is why I have an order placed now, in case a future policy change has UK ones built by Maruti.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Issue for uk and Europe is market share it just isn’t big enough for them to warrant building another factory out of Japan to build more.

For those of you concerned about your place in the queue there might be a way of accelerating past others ahead of you and acquiring a Jimny
I understand some dealers are now being offered the Jimnys used for the launch events and press cars. So it might not be a brand new one but a slightly used one? Interested to see where these cars pop up and who secures them? Either way it should see a few more owners on UK roads.
