Why isn't it called ''El Diablo'? Because it's nice, that's why.

From the June 1989 issue of Car and Driver.The charge in this case is aggravated cuteness with intent to commit market domination. Disturbingly frequent in to­day's sport-utility market, this offense can be blamed in large part on the Suzuki Sam­urai. When it first wheezed its way onto the scene, the Samurai single-handedly rein­vented its class.

And this brings us to a point that requires some clarification. As delivered, the Amigo is considered a pickup truck by the feds and the import-tax collectors. And, in fact, the Amigo lacks a cover for its rear hatch when it arrives at the dealer. Without a cover, of course, the Amigo would turn into a wading pool during the first rainstorm, so Isuzu sells a canvas top and a hard-plastic hatch cover as dealer options—mandatory options unless you're fond of wading pools.
