The ranger went from selling ~250k/year in the early nineties, to 15k/year the last 5 years or so it was in the US. The S10 sold worse than that. Mahindra couldn't make a business case to bring it's small pickup over.

Looks about ranger sized to me.

Which it's been for 10+ years. The World Market Ranger is essentially an F150, why is this news?

You've obvously never driven a frontier.

Um, Where exactly did I say that? I said its sales are dwarfed by the Tacoma, which they are.

190 inches long. Ten inches shorter than the old Ford Ranger. What's the issue?

That's already been their sales strategy on that truck for the past 4 years or so, why stop now? Practically every new Frontier has 5k on the hood at the dealer to begin with.

The current frontier is a non-factor in the US market. Even in the relatively tiny "midsize" market in the US, its sales are dwarfed by the Tacoma, which is equally as old. Given that they aren't going to compete on quality or specs with the Toyota, nor on volume and dealer discounts with the Colorado/Canyon their…

Pedestrian impact standards and CAFE/mileage requirements. When the hood/grille has to be a certain height, the bumpers have to be at a certain level for car impact standards, and everyone is trying to make an inherently un-aerodynamic shape efficient by using the same CFD software, you don't tend to see a lot of…

At least he wouldn't have to worry about teeth.

Which is different than any <1k car on craigslist how?

Seriously, I thought the 944 on this list had to be a joke.

Pssst, it's jalopnik. Most of the writers weren't alive in 1998, so they don't grasp that diesels used to really, really, really, really suck. Newer ones are tolerable but not great, but the garbage from the 80s can stay there.

What is wrong with your life that you make over 50k a year but can't budget a $2k purchase?

Back in my day kiddo, you know, those halcyon bygone era times of the early-mid 90s, kids actually worked shit jobs at 14-15 and started saving up money to buy a car. Buying shit beaters at 16 with a minimum wage job wasn't really an uncommon thing. Nowadays with all the millenial/Genwhy/genZ/gen whatever kids that…

Public figure. Satirical. No case.

That's intervention-level stuff right there.

Tell that to the majority of European governments.

Bisexual is so 90s. "Pan" and "Omni"sexual are the new "I like to do 5 shots of fireball and make out with my BFF at the bar" terms now.

Call a spade a spade. It is a phase.
