I just don't understand why this thing has enough power despite only finally reaching the same power to weight ratio as the BRZ, but having worse suspension, steering, and a higher CoG.  The double standards on this site are insane. 

I thought that way too for awhile, but then my family got one and use it for everything (wife initially wanted a Toyota Sienna). My wife’s DD, family truckster, load the back up with sod at Home Depot, tow giant fallen trees, hoon in deep snow, etc.

Holy shit, being able to get small trucks?

The British police also ram if the believe the car they are chasing is a risk to others.

They don’t take that kind of approach in Texas (0:12).

I pay lotsa attention to the world around me. 10 hours a day of Fox brings me closer to the truth. Global warming is a hoax cooked up by George Soros and Hillary Clinton to cover for the fact that they took $100 million in Uranium sales to Russia so they can send child sex slaves to Mars just to undermine Donald…

Oh please, the people buying this thing think that climate change is a made hoax by the Chinese.

This literally has everything you listed, including the V8, without the 5 speed, because no one makes a full size truck with a manual. Because no one wants them. Tons of people want Raptors, etc and will pay big bucks to get them. Engineering and producing a 5 speed manual transmission for a truck that maybe 10 people…

Fugly ≠ “great and aggressive” 

Jalopnik Reader - *Snorts* well since its not a used bright orange manual diesel wagon I already dislike it. no one else is allowed to like cars if it is not the exact spec *I* Like...

This trend in trucks needs to stop. Not everything needs to be so over-wrought and aggressive. Its like the manufacturers have been watching the dumb ass “mods” that trailer park kids do to trucks and now they think that’s what is cool.

“Technology?” A supercharged pushrod V8 is great and all but hardly counts as “technology” in 2018.

If the driver gets into a collision it’d be a Tyrannosaurus wreck.

Hello, engine-specs?

Dude, it’s 2018. Stuff from the ‘90s IS vintage.

No, it’s not. This is directly replacing an inevitable shortcoming of biology and physics with a better solution. There is no amount of “skill and experience” that lets you see through the trunk of your car, nor is there any skill or experience that widens your effective field of view by an extra 40 degrees.

You can…

Unless you have the neck flexibility of an owl and the x-ray vision of Superman, you’re also relying to some degree on luck and the predictability of small children, neither of which are safer than just putting a damned camera back there and using it as another tool.

Even the most skilled drivers cannot see through a tailgate or trunk.

Take ‘Chopped’ for example. (It’s a cooking competition show on Food Network.) Most of the contestants express some variant of “I’m very competitive”, “I really want to win”, and/or “I don’t like to lose”.

for the sake of some pretend-drama on a Netflix show
