The SSR was also a gamble on styling which probably did not help, I don’t know how much pep it had, was it sporty? I think the only chance car trucks have is to appeal to the inner child, make them something poster worthy but ultimately new cars fall victim to the demographic that buys them, I’m done buying cars for a…

Wait for it, wait for it... Hellcamino! Drive off the lot, lose all semblance of traction with the real wheels, time to go car shopping again

I’m curious, would people want a unibody vehicle that’s marketed more as a car with a truck bed rather than small truck? I guess that’s what Utes are in ‘Straya but hear me out. You give it just a little more ground clearance, like AMC Eagle or Outback levels of ride height, but then market it as something sporty.…

Let’s El Camino everything! Bring back the original El Camino, start making the Subaru El Camino again. Camry El Camino, Hellcat El Camino (this one might be a bad idea), Chrysler T&C El Camino, Miata El Camino.

Cut that pillar off, and you’ve reduced the car’s moment of inertia about its bending and torsional axes, severely compromising the vehicle’s ability to handle loads.

Where did you get a picture of my car!?!?!?

This one seems to be missing a turbo

Let’s take it one step further: T-tops

Throwing the Nazi word in today’s society is meant to immediately invalidate a point. Geobels was one of the worst Nazis but if he was adamantly against drowning puppies I would still agree with him on that one issue. For the record I’m not voicing any opinion on this topic, just an observation.

I’m conflicted about the sentiment, on one hand troop safety is of utmost importance but I think with proper management and quality control you could still produce a good product. The other side of the coin is you don’t want to give up on people in the prison system, give them an opportunity to learn a skill, earn…

Why the *truck not?

Isn’t that what a lot of racing is though? You take something that wasn’t meant to go as fast as possible and then make it do that. Rally racing at least.

Because Kamaz is already built for terrible roads

Every rational thought tells me that it is, but I still find this car to be handsome

Ah I see now, you’re talking about their semantics.

True but it all comes down to who buys the cars new. Second hand market is at the mercy of the demographic that buys the original cars.

I also see an emissions scandal coming out of this. NOx is an extra variable to keep in check with the always adjusting compression ratio

Honestly, who cares about back seats most of the time. All our commuting is done in single occupancy vehicles, my back seat is storage

How much vehicle do you really need for something like this. This road/path/trail looks 10x times better than the road to a little plot of land my grandfather had in the mountains outside of Sochi and me managed to get up there in a 1962 GAZ-21 and early 80's GAZ-24.
