Not Just Any Suzuki X90
Any Suzuki X90 is an Oddimobile and, arguably, a WTF car. This one ramps it up a couple notches with pink exterior paint. If an X90 just isn’t weird enough for you, how about a pink one? This seems to be a RWD version, as the seller never mentions 4WD and no transfer case shifter…

Crack Pipe Price on a Cool 3Cyl Turbo
It’s no secret that Oddimotive loves the Chevy Sprint Turbo. When we started two years ago, these were throwbacks to CAFE regulations. Today, there is a modern equivalent, the Ford Fiesta Ecoboost, also sporting a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and which is fun to drive in a sick and twisted sort of way. This car has…

Dream Kei Car: Suzuki Alto
Here’s a cool little Suzuki Kei Car with AWD and a 660cc, three-cylinder, turbocharged engine! Does it get any better or more quirky that this? Well, yes, there are some retro-chic Nissan Kei Cars, but this thing just exudes late 80s/early 90s awesome, and it’s a special performance edition, to boot. Needless to say, we’ve…

Another Beautiful Sprint Turbo
There’s not much we haven’t already said about the Sprint Turbo – Chevy’s rebadged Suzuki shitbox with a turbocharged, 3-cylinder engine and cool styling effects. The seller claims 64K miles, and the car certainly appears to be in great shape. The white ARE rims look perfect – I wouldn’t even return this car to stock!…

A Truly Swift Swift
It’s no secret to anyone who follows Oddimotive that I, your humble host, love hot hatches and pocket rockets. That is to say, I love the performance versions of various shitboxes. This is a favorite and even has a cool legal tie-in. The previous-generation Swift was available in the US as the Chevy Sprint with…

Pretty Fly for a Sh!tbox
Here in the US, we only got the turbocharged, three-cylinder-powered Suzuki Swift/Cultus in the form of the Chevy Sprint from 1986 through 1988. When the second generation car came to the US, the only high performance variant available was the excellent Suzuki Swift GTI (later GT due to VW lawsuit threats). Canada, however, got a…

Another homemade Shogun Competitor
This one uses a Suzuki Hayabusa engine. Some might question a motorcycle engine in a car, but this thing should make at least 150HP if it’s in stock form. That’s damn near 100HP more than the lowest-rated Festiva and this one now offers RWD. Also, we wonder how much less this now weighs. In any…

Jimny, anyone?
We’ve featured a couple of Suzuki Samurais here, but never this original, 1970s version. The seller claims it’s one of the best, and we can’t dispute that. We’ve seen these for sale before, but usually in some state of dis-assembly. This one appears to be complete and, with no reserve, it will find a new…

Because standard Suzuki X90s aren’t weird enough…
Our dear seller has modified the rear of a Suzuki X90 in an ill-advised attempt to make it into a normal vehicle. Naturally, this custom job has yielded something even stranger than the original. Notably, this is also the only ad we’ve ever seen which contains the words “also have 3 other X90s” and in…

Another of our favorites: 1991 Suzuki Swift GT
Here we have the hot rod version of the Geo Metro. Sounds crazy, eh? Well, let’s not forget that the Metro was really a Suzuki Swift/Cultus and let’s also not forget that there was a cool turbocharged version of the prior generation Swift/Chevy Sprint. As we noted in a prior post, this car was initially…
