Seriously looks like it came from a 1998 GeoCities website

YES. I was going to throw the Durango during those years in here as well. My parents had a 2003 Durango in Maroon, and my dad still says if he won the lotto, he’d pay to have someone restore one to showroom just because he liked how much it looked.

Second Generation Dodge Dakota (Awesome)

Mazda Bongo!!! It’s 4WD and can be imported to the US and should come in around the $5k usd price range...maybe a little more but oh how cool!!

Yes, if it’s registered as an RV. Then to the feds it’s no different than one of these, which also doesn’t require a CDL.

Imagine thinking that you’ve got a better idea about demand for trucks than a company that sells hundreds of thousands (if not a million?) per year.

2019 Nissan Frontier 4 cylinder, stick shift, RWD truck, new for $20k.
Theres a half dozen of those same trucks on Autotrader new with 6 cylinders for about $21k.

I’m sure a lot of truck kits are illegal, just rarely enforced.

To build on your response

Ford sells over a million trucks per year. It is blatantly obvious that they’re building trucks people want to buy. What you want will never happen for the price you demand with today’s safety regulations. Ever.

that looks soooooo much better. BMW are you listening?

I expect the SEMA body kit to replicate this in 5... 4... 3...

The proposition of buying a 340 and tuning it has never been more appealing.

The small number of “no charge” paint colors on BMWs is nothing new.

To be fair, the same thing happens with Civics and Corollas. The big difference is that those dealers usually can’t be bothered to special order a car.

Two colors without up charge isn’t uncommon on higher end stuff... for some reason... and it’s almost counter intuitive... it was a bitch to find a rover with the options I wanted in not black or white.. but at least you know they are laying down nice paint. I’m guessing that BMW dealers will only order silver ones…

Maybe I’m just too young to properly remember M3s of old, but it seems like they are going further and further down the rabbit hole of Porsche like customization with the M models.

now with 70% less hideous:

А loaded F-150 King Ranch Raptor with Ketchup package will cost as much or more. Or something something Suburban Denali XLE. Vehicles are expensive now of you want anything above base.

I’ve never in my life seen the press releases and fanfare for a new M3 and not been head-over-heels in love with it.
