I’d say “proof it’s the driver, not the car”, but really it’s the parents. Daddy didn’t give enough hugs, and now there’s this desperate need to “impress” (you know why the quotes) total strangers.

I also hate the Iron Duke for it’s 90hp - BUT you can’t kill them, and this is a camper, not a hot rod.

Love the car.

It is still too big for car guys (even “nice car” guys as opposed to driving enthusiasts) who could simply occasionally make use of a truck bed.

Well written, but I tend to avoid these “stereotype cars” because I wouldn’t want to be confused with the type who REALLY usually buys these cars...

Someone else’s project - say no more.

Great points.

It’s cool - price counts here, a lot.

If Fox News is 100% confident...

It’s an awesome price, even if it took another $3k to replace the batteries (which today would probably result in longer range, as a bonus).

The swoopy, contrived lines down the sides are a bit dated, but overall the styling is finally in the direction of American automakers accepting (and styling) compacts as first-class citizens.

This is a good one.

I just think a proper powerplant befitting a hot rod (with hot rod HP) would be appropriate.

It doesn’t look “awesome”.

I’ve never heard the Prowler accused of having “the perfect weight balance”, but I’ve heard many complaints about this huge meats making for the opposite of an enthusiast car - not only understeer, but swinging the rear for the slightest oversteer impossible to call upon with the v6's pedestrian power levels.

Back in the 90s there was a great article on how to do this, in Super Street magazine - a compact performance magazine.

I wouldn’t think my idea crazy except it doesn’t exist. Apparently the industry thinks “if you want a bed, you must need to tow trailers - off road, hate to drive, and have your own supply of gasoline”.

Problem is -

If it didn’t have the back seat and awkward rear-deck space, this might just be an El Camino worth trimming my mullet down for.

Because lots of people who spend 3x what they need to on a car at least want it to look good, for what they are spending.
