Bad Idea of the Day
Jet Ski + Hot Tub = Pointless
When it rains, it pours… Today on the way in to work on the I-5 northbound near the 73, Donut and I spotted what was definitely a BMW, wearing distributor plates and wearing the slimmest possible disguise – black gaffer’s tape over the BMW roundel. I fired up my trusty Instinct and snapped some stills and video, but while we were patting ourselves on the back for the “get”, we discovered that the car we’d shot was just the tail end of a whole convoy of new Bimmers…
This time, it’s a not-yet-for-sale Suzuki Equator pickup, a rebadged Nissan Frontier due to hit showrooms this summer as an ‘09 model, spotted wearing distributor plates and headed southbound on the I-5 in San Clemente, California. Sorry for the picture quality, but as they say, the cell phone camera you have with you always takes better shots than the SLR sitting back at the office…
The addition of a pickup to Suzuki’s limited slate of US offerings, and a badge-engineered one at that, makes me sort of wish they’d stick to kick-ass motorcycles or make a serious attempt to turn their huge success in the Japanese mini-car market into something cool for the States.
