Very cool but based on it's size it's only going to sell well if there is an oil shortage or something.

When was the last time you saw a new vehicle the size of my old Geo Tracker?

That car/truck above was bought new in 1990 coming off of 4.5 years of Diesel Golf ownership. The Tracker lasted 19.5 years before rust took it's toll, not the POS some who never owned one claimed it to be.

Is America over it's phobia of small vehicles being low status?

I do not think so, not by a long shot.

It's not all safety regulations and American girth/obesity dictating vehicle sizes, it's a mental condition.

I've had soccer moms try to run me off the road in my 911, and rednecks yell at me in their oversized pickup trucks to get my little car off the road.

Total mental condition, same one that kills anything different like the Subaru Baja.

The Subaru Baja Is Holding Its Value Ridiculously Well

Even one of the most awkward vehicles ever (Baja) can have a cult following if nothing better comes along.

I wish this new vehicle well, and good luck - I like it.
