“rugged”

The 40k version will be for sale later this year in the form of aftermarket sales.

...because he can’t think about anything beyond what looks cool...

They perfectly align with people who hate EVs but love being hateful on Twitter.

Aren’t all of today’s trucks though?

Sounds like structured fraud to me.

Twitter and Joe Rogan’s audience indicate otherwise. Well, maybe most of them are poor.

Something tells me the MSRP of this thing will be well over $50,000 as a BASE model.

And IF you can find them. My buddy was looking to buy a Civic Si in a manual in a major metro market and each dealer told him that they may get “one” next month. 

I would have, if they still sold a hatchback Versa. I don’t like trunks.

Cars.com shows 65 stick Versas for sale nationwide. Autotrader.com shows 72. Even if you assume there’s no overlap and take into account that some dealers use neither platform, There are probably less than 300 stickshift Versas available for sale…

The outdated notion that manual buyers are just cheapskates, really needs to die a miserable death.

My kneejerk reaction is that most people springing for a V6 Lotus are there for the driving experience, while a greater percentage of Broncos are bought for the sake of appearances. Both co’s know their markets. 

I also find it interesting (/s) how vehicles that come standard with a manual <gasp> sell more manuals. Especially these days when advertising a low starting price is a priority regardless of what a well equipped version costs, I am surprised more manufacturers aren’t using that as a way to lower starting costs a tiny…

“The Bronco is available with a seven-speed manual, but only with the 2.3-liter Ecoboost inline-4 engine”

Conspiracy theory people may be the worst people in the world.

Woof is right. She aint a looker....

I apologize a bit for not being relevant to the topic at hand but..

Yet they are getting rid of the manual GTI and Broncos with a manual are hard to find. Because of this there will be fewer sales and manufacturers will say, “Look, no one buys manuals, better get rid of them”.

I bet this thing accelerates (in speed and in sound) like a slot car from our youth.
