I drove my G2 Insight to look at a G1 Insight yesterday. The lady asked me how I liked the G2, I said it was great, and that she could get a killer deal on one. She was surprised that the G2s were so cheap. So I was like, "It's because nobody wants a car like this. Everyone wants an F150!" She started laughing because it was true. No one wants a car in America, everyone wants the biggest possible vehicle.

Please don't upset the apple cart. I am rather enjoying the bargains available among used, unwanted, sedans and coupes. |

Yay. Big 4x4s. They would move out of the way of the 8x8 I drove off-road in Afghanistan.
I am saving up for this:
Yes, literally setting aside money for a vehicle that costs as much as a house, but more to maintain, and not just lying for fake Internet points. |

Aren't you always posting about money troubles?
You can get a surplus FV 432 for about $3000 apparently. Then you need to ship it, which is around $8000.
I would rather have one of these though.

Yes, we can get some of those in the US, too, perhaps under different names (or could, not so long ago - I'm not up to date on current mode. I even have an '88 Toyota pickup myself. They're quite popular because they last darn near forever. But I don't see Honda, Subaru, Mazda, or Hyundai in that list. All profitable companies AFAIK, all selling cars in the North American market but not trucks. |

Not only in America, but in other countries the fuel costs, tighter space on the roads and parking spots, and eventually the lower GVWR entitlements, lead many people away from a full-size.
This is popular among Brazilian "urban cowboys"
