One of these pulled up at my workplace today and I can not get over how stupid they look and that got me thinking, who thought making a shittier version of an Odyssey was a good idea.

This thing can’t be useful as a truck, can’t seat as many as a van, costs $50k and burns more gas then an Odyssey (10l/100km hwy vs 8l/100km hwy). Does anyone who drives these things think they are hot shit?

    I said it looks silly and I am confused why someone made it.

    I do feel your pain of not having any choice of a small truck, but this thing is silly.

      Honestly I would love a compact fully electric or hybrid truck that gets better mileage but rides the same as a car with a bed in the back. A two seater or with a short back seat to load stuff in the cab so it is shorter would be even better!

        Thoughts on the ford maverick? As someone who doesn’t know trucks, unibody hybrid seems to be the right fit for you.

          I like the idea of a smaller and less expensive light truck and hope they are successful!

          Local dealers didn’t have one in stock to test drive when I was looking, I don’t like buying the first year of a new or completely overhauled model. I also don’t trust Ford to make a vehicle that I can rely on for 10+ years.

          With Toyota’s success with the Prius I was hoping for a hybrid Tacoma, but they only went hybrid with the Tundra (the bigger one).
