Sort of like how most "SUVs" now are just tall FWD unibody hatchbacks but people still buy them because they like the looks, seating position, and perceptions of an SUV.

And what's the advantage here that the kids actually care about? I can't think of any. I'd press GM to clone the Honda Element.

The Element was aimed at the 20-30 outdoor group. However, they would rather spend money for the outdoor gear required of their pursuits instead of buying new vehicles. Most owners of Elements I see are 40+. I would buy one, but I would also buy a cloned Hi-Lux. Not like most folks my age.

G Body is north of the border. At current exchange rates, our $20,005 base translates to $26,719 in maple bucks or whatever they're called.

I want a modern Brat/Rampage/VW PU. The closest on the horizon is the Hyundai.

I would but the heck our of a small cheap 2wd truck. I don't know why no one makes one
