47. Suzuki Samurai

The Suzuki Samurai, like many other cars on this list, sums up the decade in which it was birthed. The Chic 80s vehicle; vibrant in color, sporty and excessive, fully embraced the blend of fatalism & optimism that somewhat defined the end of the Cold War. This little 4×4 was just beginning to carve out its place in the market just at the time where initial consumers noticed that their cars would flip over and roll when driving around corners at average speeds.

One supposes that the flipping nature of the vehicle somewhat reflects the name of the vehicle, too bad that most people want to stay right side up when driving.
