We had the Jimny here for a bit, called the Suzuki Samurai. There was also the upsized cousin, the Suzuki Sidekick/Vitara and Geo/Chevy Tracker into the 00s. That's what I have and love it. I wanted some 4wd capability but not the fuel consumption or parking space for a normal suv/pickup. It weighs less than a modern Miata and is shorter, too. As a 2 door variant, it suits my primary driving need: solo and single-passenger short trips with less than a seat-full of cargo. The average car-owning household in the US owns something like 2.3 cars and is in the suburbs/semi urban. They don't all have to be 7-seat or 8ft-bed trucks. And this whole fear of snow... Don't go out. Stock up food before storms. US suburbs fare just fine with modern communication and snow removal as long as it's not Texas. Your job won't miss you if you die in a blizzard
