I know a few people that are unemployed. A couple drug addicts with criminal records and a few that are just complete lazy morons. Other than that, everyone else is doing pretty damn good.

To me they are the best designed steering wheel controls on the market and they have been that way forever. You are right about the materials but the concept is spot on.

That is not being old it is being smart. Cars are meant to be driven and not used as a social media station. They should be designed to be driven the safest way possible and they should be focusing on removing distractions and not adding them.

Yes! I would totally buy that and just strictly commute to work in it. On occasion I may use it to take my pit bull on a hike and it may go on grass or an unpaved road for like 30 seconds.

I had a Suzuki Xl7 for years and it had a swing open tailgate and it even swung the opposite way towards the curb and I never really thought about it. I can see where a lift up hatch is a lot more convenient but is it a deal breaker for some?

I would totally take either one.

I wish! Someone could rake it in if they are the first to bring one of these here. There are so many small businesses that could use these too. Automakers used to think that small vans would never work here too and now they are everywhere.

That is awesome. If that was in the US, I would trade my car in now. It is all the truck that I would need right now.

I have never seen one of these before, but I want one. Actually, I would be happy with a modern version of it.

You can pretty much do this very easily with the Patriot now. Here is a new one selling for $11,990. They can remove even more stuff from it and easily get these to $9999. Hell for $11,999 this would be great for me to commute and take my dog around in.

That is so true. I was a bit to young to drive at the time but I remember in the early 90's so many young people bought Geo Trackers and Suzuki Sidekicks instead of the typical Chevy Cavalier or Dodge Shadow America. They were exactly what you said, cheap and cheerful. They need another car like that.

Bahahahaha! That is probably how they measure panel gaps as well.

2017 Nissan Tsuru

Hahahaha!!! COTD

I can totally see this as a Mitsubishi too. Hopefully with a reliable Mitsubishi drivetrain.

I thought that fullback was the proper name for granny panties.

I think it is awesome. I wish that they would sell that here too.

That right there is all the truck that I need and want. A fullsize truck (even a single cab) will not even fit in my driveway and I would hate having to park it in the small parking garage at work.. They are just too damn big.

My first new car was a 1997 Hyundai Accent and it was so basic that it did not have a radio. I had a radio installed and 4 speakers the day after I bought it and brought it back about a year later because the horn stopped working. They denied it because they said that it had to be a wiring issue that caused the horn…

They may not feel as refined as a CRV or Tucson but they are damn good for the price. You can get one that is nicely equipped with AWD for under 20 grand. You can’t even get a base model from any other brand for that amount. Plus, I think the Patriot looks really good still. I know it is a matter of opinion but I want…
