It's basically a rebodied version of the Ford Pampa, a local derivative of the Renault R12 platform.

Or a Honda Ridgeline? Chevrolet Avalanche? Subaru Brat?

As much as I like the [T-top] Brat and the Rampage—not those.

That's an interesting rebody, it looks like an aftermarket aero kit. And the taillight and parking lights would fit right in in the 'bully bumper' thread.

interesting how narrow thw pumpers are....

Those were usual for the compacts at the time.

the states never had the market for utes like overseas did. there are so many I would have liked the see here, especially with a diesel.

The market is there, but the marketing departments drive the dumb fat rednecks to bigger and more profitable rigs.

The larger and more expensive the vehicle, the higher the profit.

As soon as they figure out how to charge more for smaller (Cadillac is on the way), there will be a change.

They brought back the mid-sized trucks the Chevy Canyon, and the Ford Ranger is next, but they are much larger than their predecessors.

I do suspect the larger girth of the buyers is at least partly to blame.

Subaru should bring back the Brat.

Back in the 70's, I had a professor that had one of those yellowish/orangish Brats. He loved it.

I Spent The Day With Two Subaru BRATs

There's Brats and then there's Brats. The second generation had the T-top, which I consider the killer feature. I'd take mine in black with gold panel stripes and a screaming chicken on the hood.
