Up close, the fit and finish is pretty good. Equivalent to a UTV if not show quality.



You're talking like a cager. And the FUV has twin engines.
I did concede that it would be fun already, which there's hardly any point to life if you aren't partaking in.

My only point is that the price sounds absurd, especially when they originally said it would sell for $12k. Where'd the extra $8k come from? I gave examples, including that of all the vehicles I own, none have cost so much. The most I've spent on a vehicle was $17k, and that made me very uncomfortable considering the very good cars that can be had for less.
