maybe they should try making their cars not ugly as sin
The main flaw of that thing is its bad engineering. The design was meant to be polarising and if it was actually a good car, it would work in its favour.
They are also larger then expected or needed. The one I see at work just barely fits in the parking spaces, width wise.
But that goes for pretty much any pickup truck. The whole category is an affront to common sense.
Nah. The current crop of US pickups is, I'll agree; but there's plenty of older pickups that are much more reasonably scaled. Not to mention non-American models.
Agreed. I was specifically referring to the current crop of US pickups.
Oder Pickups were utility vehicles, not the abhorrent passenger vehicles they are commonly used as today. I'm sure the other person wasn't referring to your average 1968 F150 used on a farm back in the day.
