Suzuki Hustler now in production in Japan

[KuroNekko]

It debuted at the Tokyo Auto Show and now is in production.

The world laughed at the name and thought the Japanese were clueless, but Suzuki's tag line is 'The New Player: Hustler' so I wonder if Suzuki is actually going along with it.

They are even offering a pink colored one because, you know, "ladies is pimps too".

I think it would do well with all the demand the Scion xB and Honda Element has created. Plus, this would be a 'step up' from the Wagon R in other markets.

The Hustler got some bizarre love on Jalopnik.com today.

It's like an Aztek that doesn't make babies cry when they look at it!

Best line I've read in a week.

Now if they can only get the rights to that 'Do the Hustle' disco song for the promos...

Is it just me, or does this have a strong MR2/Miata face to it? I could imagine a revised bumper that makes it look like it's smiling.

Or God forbid, eyelashes and bumper lipstick to make it look like a girl.
