I would hoon the shit out of that!

A quirky, curvy desert-racer hatch/liftback with a fast-revving, lion-roaring turbocharged Inline-6, (My imagination added two cylinders, because racecar) throwing spunky power to a rear-biased AWD system through a *snick*snick*slick* six-speed manual with comfortable seating for 5 and…

You get a cookie because I found that to be enlightening and pun-derful.

YOU'RE HIRED!
Come work with me!
You like towels, right?

This little blip of a story just made my day.

Goddamnit, why did I read any of the comments?? I'm 3 seconds away from going full-on Scanners...

Sorry, unless I'm 100% sure it's a cop, I'm going to find a very public, very visible spot to pull-over.

The fact this takes place in Alabama is really forcing me to re-evaluate some of my strongly-held impressions regarding the south.

Jeeee-zus that's some embarassingly-photoshopped cover art.

Deep down I know you're kinda-sorta right, but I couldn't resist a good old fashioned:

I suspect that this might be a novel approach for Tesla in their eventual-pursuit of the truck-market. Mostly due to the technology's unique packaging capabilities.

The simple fact is you can make that engine efficient as can be, but it's the standard "Truck Shape" and lack of active-aero that's holding them back from their true potential.

While the 70's & 80's were fun decades for mini-trucks, the 90's really brought about the sweet-spot for small-truck size & scale relative to their full-size counterparts.

Everything from lil' Hombres & B-Series to Dakotas & 'Yotas.

OH MY GOD IT'S MR. SATURN.

Ford had made it clear that the Ranger, which measures within ten percent of the F-150's size, is not coming back to America.

The Subaru Baja tried to do that, but only seated four, had divisive-yet-predictable styling, barely got 25 mpg on the highway despite anemic 4 cylinder power, and the "midgate" that the concept had promised was shrunk for the production-version into a weird/tiny pass-thru behind the rear seats while the glass didn't…

It's the most underpowered truck you could ever own.
