As someone who lived in Western PA and saw literally dozens of these every day in my childhood, I wouldn't say they're one-offs in any way. If it's somewhere between a wagon, van, and SUV, it's a crossover.

Plague of crossovers you say? By crossover, you mean sedan-based front-or-all-wheel-drive people carrier, right?

NAIAS 2017 will have a mid-engine corvette Zora concept with a production goal of 2020... And then like the rotary 'Vette of the 70s, the Corvette Indy of the 80s, and Keyser Soze of the 90s, he'll be gone, never to be seen again.

Especially when you consider that you are suggesting that it will be a mid-engined chassis (which GM has little practical experience with)

Mustang SVO would like a word with you...

the hatch opening is narrower than the interior space but I've managed to stuff a compact washer and dryer inside with no issues. And 33 mpg average in mixed driving is fine by me considering EPA estimates are 24/30/26

Here's what I envision:

Exactly. In April 2013, I was able to get a Kia Soul for less than $1000 more than the base model Mirage. It also has nearly twice the power and space and although it is about 10 mpg down on the Mitsubishi, it more than makes up for it with its utility.

Why not make it one of those retrofuturistic cars that were so popular about a decade and a half ago?

This.

I read this article and just found this.

funny how nobody mentions the glass differentials in these cars. Seriously, nearly every one of them went in for a transmission rebuild between 94-96 and even then, they didn't hold up. If the diff has been replaced with a Quaife or had the pin welded, hoon away. If not, make sure you have $1500 or so in the bank for…

they're legal in some states. They can be registered as a motorcycle in south Carolina

This guy in LA county made the rounds a while back. I think he definitely qualifies:

My wife had one. It was wholly impractical, rattled like a handful of nickels in the dryer Whenever it went over the slightest bump, and something was always wrong with it. But it was fun to drive and comfy in the front seats and had a pretty awesome Monsoon stereo. I'm 6'3" and about 300 pounds, covered in hair and…

Also it often looks like a butt.

And the Korrando looks like a 2008 Saturn Vue

In 2001 I was 22 years old and bought a 2000 trans am with 24000 miles on it. It was black over gray 6speed and cost more than i made in a year but I was living with my parents and had no cares in the world. I got approved for the loan and drove it around all night... the next day I took it to my insurance agent. He…

MacGyver couldn't fix it. All hope is lost.
