This is how people carry bikes on a truck similar to this new Ford small truck, so I guess it won’t work for you

These two don’t have a midgate. Not even a small pass-through like the Subaru Baja. But to be honest, I never saw a complain about the size of the bed because the people who buy these truck uses like a car. As I said before, it is a truck for people who don’t need a truck, just want the looks.

This partnership is for commercial vehicles, just the VW Amarok and Ford Ranger and the vans. The VW unibody truck uses the MQB platform and shares nothing with this Bronco Sport truck 

Dude, the Toro have any relations with Mitsubishi, it uses the Jeep Renegade platform. The Mitsubishi based Fiat truck is the Fullback sold in Europe, that was sold in middle east as Ram 1200

Well, it is a Jeep Compass with a bed, it's a hit or miss. But I don't know about the Toro tow capacity, this seems to be important in the US 

Didn’t noticed that, but makes sense. The Ram 1000 exported to other Latin America countries have a 1.8 engine and Mexico usually prefer bigger engines due it’s high altitude. But look at the Colombian Ram site, the Toro with Ram badges and trim levels 

Like this?

This new Ford small truck will compete with this thing, the Fiat Toro (based on the Jeep Renegade and Compass platform, also called Ram 1000 in Mexico, Colombia and other countries). There’s also de Renault Duster Oroch, but is a bit smaller and more lowcost. So you better expect unibody construction, transverse

Seriously? I hate the proportions on this WR-V, the tall hood don’t match with the raked windshield. The only good part is the Fit interior stays the same 

Brazil and India have this, it is called WR-V and is just a lifted Fit with a different front. Hopefully the regular Fit sold relatively well here in Brazil, but I think the next generation will come only in the Crosstar version

Just last week Honda of Brazil announced the 2021 Civic Si Coupe. The car is imported from Canada, so I guess it won’t last too much here. What a great timing!

The Prius still a thing in 2020?

You know that euro safety standards are very exigent and also have high speed highways there? All of the cars I cited have version with equivalent motorization to those compacts sold in the US, it’s not like it gonna be painfully slow as a Geo Metro. I just don’t get why the manufacturers only offer terrible compact

I wasn’t suggesting to end the larger cars, only offer better small cars than a Mirage or a Versa. These cars I cited are priced the same outside the US and have about the same size, but are way nicer. 

I never understood why the manufacturers only sold the crappy compact vehicles in the US. Seriously, there are a lot of decent compact cars in the world that costs around the same as a Mirage or one of those Chevy Aveo/Spark things that are way better. In recent history I only remember the Honda Fit and the Ford

Oh no, I know how this ends. You better stop this madness right now Toyota!

Fiat, Mercedes and Chevrolet also had this kind of manual with automatic clutch here in Brazil. In Europe i think Renault had something like this with the Twingo. 

This ain’t new. Toyota uses the Corolla name to anything.

It also adds more boredom 

The Honda Fit is the greatest car in any part of the world and I have the worst version of the first gen model: 1.3 engine with CVT transmission. This 1.3 have a 8 valve head and two spark plugs per cylinder, no VETC. All beat up because the previous owner was my 83 years old grandma and she used the car every single
