It’s handsome and would be fun to own, but I’d rather have the similar - and similarly-impractical - Jeep Wagoneer SJ. Same sort of power and economy, slightly larger, posh (for an American SUV) and good looking.

I’ve seen a couple of those and it’s still on my shortlist of bikes I’d actually buy.
“Either you order it, or I keep shopping until I find a dealer that does.”
Well, Jason...
From the end user’s standpoint there’s no practical difference, unless the click of your mouse just drives you that crazy, in which case maybe your problem isn’t so much a slideshow as it is the mouse.
Slideshows are click generators, which report to ad buyers as more traffic on the site. A slideshow makes the site look like it’s getting more traffic than it is.
4: Die in a fireball. Hopefully not on your first outing.
In 1989 a little hatch with 125 horses was considered a pocket rocket. “Only” isn’t giving it the respect it deserves.
33 Highway MPG for a truck-shaped anything is far from “poor.” Hybrids typically fare better on the city portion of the MPG tests, 33 on the highway is quite good for any kind of truck - the hybrid system doesn’t help so much in steady-state driving. The ‘21 Tacoma only offers 20 MPG highway; the RAV4 Hybrid manages…
No denying. I’m having a bit of trouble believing the Mav will actually land at $20G. That’s a lot of vehicle for the money, especially in this market.
You can tow it, though. If you take the time to install the petite hitch receiver (FOR BIKE RACKS ONLY) you can fit on a Prius, you could tow away a half ton, easy. The EU rates the Prius safe to tow up to 1500 pounds, staying shy of that limit implies you have that much capacity left for reducing load on the car,…
Prius MPGs, not really. RAV4 MPGs, sure. This rig is pointed squarely at the RAV4 Hybrid.
I always wanted a Ranger ST. Except I’d do it like AMC did with the SC/Rambler and call it the ST Ranger.
I just want to take a moment to point out a flaky detail: The intro video clip leans heavily on the word “with.”
The hybrid’s tow rating seems a bit on the low side to suit me but what the hell, for the heaviest thing I’ve towed in the last five years, it’d work. Even the lowest-tier model will tow a couple of the smaller Jet Skis with no difficulty.
So you know: FIAT = Fabriccio Italiano Automobili Torino = Italian Automobile Factory, Turin.
This could have been done so much more believably:
John Stapp. Briefly, the Fastest Man on Earth and unlike Chuck Yeager, didn’t need no pansy airplane to do it. He was strapped into a seat fitted with rockets - that’s it. No wings, no fuselage, not even a windshield. Seat. Rockets. Rail. Whoosh.
Chinese product quality is a laughably inconsistent category. You have manufacturers who clearly take some pride in their product and put actual effort into quality assurance and then you have others where some of the casting sand is still in the engine block, just painted over.
Hyperbolic research. I saw a comparison between a mainstream and Chinese car that were ostensibly identical; the identicality went no deeper than the paint. I can’t remember the car but I’m fairly certain it was a Chinese knockoff (huh, imagine that) of the smart fortwo, the chassis was shockingly rudimentary. My…
