I don't know how one determines sexual orientation of a vehicle but regardless, I think it looks great. It does resemble a Brat.

I think I like the Ram 700 that was shown yesterday just as much. More actually since the price should be ~25% lower, they're saying $13-18k. I don't need the extra torque from a diesel, what little towing I've done in the last 20 years can be done with a lawnmower I need to move four mt bikes and gear for four people with the occasional large load o' stuff like a new lawn mower, a big tv or some wood that can be strapped to the roof if the extendable bed doesn't make it long enough. Might be nice though if it had a drop rear like the Avalanche/Baja, even better if that was a split drop so my dogs could move from inside to outside easily.

Damn it... Got excited for a second and thought they made a RWD mini drift truck.

@gravitylover Link? I can't find anything about a Ram 700 published within the last month...

Definitely in the running, I get that small trucks aren't everybodies cup of tea but the only reason to go bigger is for towing or ego...

I can't say I want a Hyundai, but there are two Kia's I would consider buying:





Ten years ago, I don't think I would have given any Kia a second thought. Times have changed...

It's probably going to debut the same time as the IDx.

It's plausible. Hell the Genesis Coupe starts at only 26k.

Looks like an actually useful light utility. That sector has been severely underserved for the last decade or so.
I don't need or want a full size duelly or have anywhere to park it.

I guess what I'd really like is a late 70s Tacoma, but no. Those don't return wads of cash to the T.
