Just looking through google images and I came across this odd little thing

I can only find pics of it with european plates, but there seems to be a current model.

Subaru Justy

"In Europe, Suzuki Motors built the Justy for Subaru at its Hungarian plant. It was merely a rebadged Suzuki Swift. In 2004, the Justy name continued in European markets on a rebadged Suzuki Ignis"

I think the big question with the suzuki/subaru relationship is, will the swift 1.6 16v bolt into a justy? Ive heard a lot of talk but not seen anything.

How about an EJ22T into a swift

Suzuki Swifts are way cool cars!! Some of those came AWD, which would be yet awesomer!!

You guys ever read the British magazine "Car"? Their review of this version of the Subaru Justy went something like this:

The very worst car for sale in Britain today. Old, expensive, crappy. We'd rather walk than drive this car.

That's what I was thinking of

thats a bit of a shoehorn, and frankly I dont know if youd be able to even adapter a flat four to a transverse fwd trans. so anyone know if the suzuki 16v bolts into a 4x4 justy? a tiny 4x4 car with some power just really appeals to me.

How about picking up and rebuilding one of the 1.0L 3cyl turbo motors from a canadian Firefly Turbo
I think they made about 78hp/85tq something like that anyway. That would make you the smallest ugliest WRX ever - a turbo justy

it would be neat as hell though. Generally though the 1.6 DOHC from the swift GTi is the best motor for that platform. If I recall correctly they had about 115hp and similar torque.

Oh man

Talk about weird.

I was walking through the parking lot back to my car after class today, and I walked past a little grey/silver Justy.

wtf? I guess they are USDM.

Yes, justys are also usdm. They came with pushbutton 4wd on top of the long-ass shift lever.

I had to take these pics with no flash so I didn't get glare off the brochures, but here is the 1987 USDM Justy:

And here is the facelifted 89 Justy. It kept this same design through 1994 when it was killed:

I bought a 93 Justy from a police auction for $125.00 all it needed was a clutch but it ran great. IT was FWD only.

Didn't Suzuki also make the Geo metro for a period of time? The car in the picture looks alot like a metro.
