I remember 1974 when the Suzuki Samurai was made in a two cycle engine. It looked nice but they were then banned from the US.

It was nicknamed the “Mini Brute” back in 1974. The official name was “LJ20 Brute” which was laughable for a 20 hp two-stroke. “LJ” stood for “Little Jeep.”

I really wanted a 4x4 when I graduated in 1973 and briefly considered it in 1974. I was in field service engineering at the time and went with the Buick company car. That was a smart move.

The “Samurai” came a bit later.
