In the first scene the first car they get overtaken buy is a samurai.

I wonder how many samurais are still in japan?

I noticed that too! Damned fine looking one too. I don't think they have that many left - in Japan, because of the weird tax laws it's often cheaper to buy a new car every 3 years than keep an old one, so many of the vehicles that get undersealed in Europe don't get that in Japan. So they rot out very quickly.

I don't know if Suzuki does that, but Toyota definately does - I've seen a couple of import Toyota Hilux's/surfs with serious rot in places where UK versions don't rot (mainly talking about the chassis) because of the undersealing.

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Japan. It's a Kei car, it'll have a 660cc turbo engine with about 63hp.
