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.

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.
