There are a bunch of reasons why. Most is just timing. Also, I’ll be using it as a semi-DD, where the minimum commute is 25 miles each way of twisty 55mph(+) rural highway... And I don’t want to die (again, an exception would be made for a Jimny).

I’m gonna keep putting this out into the universe, just in case that hokey stuff is real.

Initially, no, yes, absolutely, optional

The current Himalayan is a bit of a cult favorite in the ADV world.  The biggest knock is power. A 750 twin should be very popular.

The one big option missing is a manual (I know: ‘that guy’ comment). However, I’m really looking forward to the Bronco. I am still holding out hope for a stripper 4x4 model like this Ranger, but with a manual, that comes in close to $30k.

I’ve looked at Frontiers now and then when I got the itch for a truck.

Tom’s last car buying questions article was the first one.

What is this listicle BS?

Painful reminder that I should not have sold my poor broken K5

It’s probably closer in price to the Porsche than new Bronco.

Wow, ok. Didn’t realize I was fostering totalitarianism. Can you point to some bias in this piece? The facts are presented without any opinion given that I can discern, but I’d welcome an example.

4Low: It feels strange reading a Morning shift with an unbiased tone, no ‘New York is the only place in the world’ opinions, or union Shilling.

Requisite

I think the key is “rural area”. I also live in a (very) rural town, and see a relatively high per-capita number of new Mitsus. Likely due to the Wal-Mart pricing and forever upside-down financing options.
