Still wouldn’t buy a Tesla at any price.

You nailed it with the last generation Ford Ranger.
Simply the best of all time.

Assholes driving Chevy’s.
FTFY.

I would so watch this.  But allow the Z125 and other wee-bikes to compete, too..

Easy.
Subaru XT-6. Still get that awesome Subaru reliability, with the wedge shape you want.

I would have to nominate the Ford Vulcan 3.0 liter V6. Stone simple pushrod engine making it easy to work on, and cast iron everything, so nothing truly overheats and dies. Add in the fuel injection and computer controlled ignition, and you have exactly what makes it shine...a rock solid workhorse of a powerplant.

God…

Meanwhile, just a bit further north...

While I applaud H-D’s effort here in getting more modern...that thing is effin’ ugly. That exhaust routing is completely wrong and ruins what could have been great aesthetics, and having a rear wheel on the front only makes it worse.

Want a little cheese to go with that?

I’m reminded here that MB and Lewis haven’t had a win over the prior 3 races. There’s a weight taken off some shoulders there, I would imagine.

Thanks, but nope.
I’ll buy an FTR.

Time for that LS swap...

My daughter is 6 now, and those days are still soooo familiar...

Know what else the Maverick shares with old VW’s?
A front wheel drivetrain “pickup”...or does no one remember the rabbit based truck?

I drove an ‘01 Nissan Frontier in this configuration (crew cab, short box) for years, and never had any sort of problem with it, short of rando’s asking if I wanted to sell it. It was more useful than my prior truck, which was an extended cab Ranger (I miss that Vulcan V6).

I should never have sold that Nissan, but I…

I’d give a star if I could, ya punny bastid.  Begone with ye!

F1 is still boring as shit, too.  This just adds to it.

Ah.  Buell.  All over again.

With regards to “barriers to adoption”, GM could, of course, lower the prices of the silly damn thing...

You realize that you can easily electrify that Beetle, right?
