Trunk version; this was the cheapskate special. It cost a fairly good whack, at least $100 in 1970s dollars, less than the hatchback. You’d find the same phenomenon at the Ford dealer down the street if you were looking at the Pinto. These were also the lightest and stiffest version although the difference only really…

“This is the new car equivalent of 1950s hot rodding, if hot rodders chopped 1.1 inches out of the roof and left the rest of the car exactly as it was before.”

Crossovers are just incredibly fun, utilitarian, and at this size, color, and option level, they make sense for the price.
