5. Suzuki X-90
The `90s were strange times and the Japanese car industry was known to produce some pretty odd and funny vehicles. Back in the day, Suzuki was one of the biggest Japanese economy car brands with millions of buyers in the US. However, thanks to the successful small Samurai SUV, the company wanted to explore the rising SUV market but not with the common Vitara and Grand Vitara models but with something completely different.
How about a two-seater, two-door SUV with compact dimensions and removable T-Top? Sounds insane? Well, that is exactly what the Suzuki X-90 was when it was introduced in 1995. Powered by a 95 HP 1.6-liter four-cylinder, the X-90 was rear-wheel drive as standard or optional all-wheel-drive model with very limited interior and trunk space. The car was officially sold in America and Suzuki even managed to sell 7000 copies but neither the buyers nor the motoring press understood what Suzuki wanted to say with this model. The X-90 was discontinued in late 1998 and up to this day, it remains one of the strangest Japanese production cars of all time.
