They are different. I like them. If I had the money, I would give one a shot.
Actually, I wouldn’t. I don’t buy new cars. My most recent purchase was a 12 year old Lexus. I am fortunate enough to get a new company vehicle every couple of years, and there is next to nothing I like about the buttons or “features” in any of them. If I had the money, I would buy more old baseball cards.
I think a $20,000 truck with 150 HP that gets decent mileage would appeal to a lot of buyers. Just equip it with whatever the government is forcing you to (airbags/backup cameras/etc) and make it simple. Sort of like what Ford tried to do with the Maverick.
