Suzuki Hustler

Suzuki's design department chose the name "Hustler" to promote the car's lively and rough riding image. In Japan, the name was used by Suzuki in the past as the nickname of a two-stroke, dual-sport motorcycle, the Hustler TS series. The car's accessories also have a replica sticker of the emblem that was once used in the TS50.^[3] Suzuki's distributor in the United States had also sold the Suzuki T20 as the Hustler in the second half of the 1960s.^[4]
