Sure if you don’t have kids or a family and want a miserable car with no comforts. This is just a striped down small tradesman vehicle.
You might not have noticed it, but it is a truck, not a car. That people sometimes confuse those things seems to be an American problem.
A truck for who? Only tradesman. It’s a niche vehicle.
Nobody is going to buy this outside fleets.
A truck is supposed to be a work vehicle. It’s just the Americans that have decided its the best vehicle for every use case. These are built from the ground up as a work vehicle
I guess transportation perfection means really really good for this small niche of users?
Yeah, all of us that find F-150 sized trucks, with their minivan sized cabins and useless 4 foot beds, utterly useless and repugnant. There’s still scadd of little trucks from the 80s and 90s on the road. The only vehicle I have ever missed is my old Mazda B2200. I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat.
In America the segment for small pickups is larger than you think and cars are overpriced right now which makes a brand new car you can import for less than 15k mind-boggling. Additionally, the barebones nature of the car is appealing for its low-tech nature. Add that it’s a Toyota, known for reliability.
Maybe you don’t see it as a desirable car because it isn’t to your tastes, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.
I think transportation perfection means better bus, train and bike/pedestrian infrastructure with, ultimately, less vehicles on the road overall.
This is not the target audience. It’s for work purposes. Or someone who doesn’t have a family I guess.
