The New York Times calls it ugly, but I guess beauty is relative cos I actually quite like it. Compared to some of the crap that comes out of Detroit, even now, it could even be considered quite sensible and pretty.
Now if you asked me would I drive it…
Pardon my French, but that is the shit.
And the rotary engine makes the damn thing sounds like a pod racer in Star Wars. Only better.
It looks like a model but the build photos of this Soviet GAZ-51 truck say different.
I don’t think it does look all that much like a Ridgeline. And I don’t understand why they’re comparing it to an El Camino, since it doesn’t even have the same form factor. (The El Camino is a car with a pickup bed and three seats, this is a full size king cab pickup with a bit of a body kit, like one of those awful looking Navaras plodding their way around Ireland. At least this has a bit of style.)
The idea of a hybrid motor in a pickup still makes me laugh, although I suppose if it’s the only way to wean Americans off gas guzzlers, it’s progress. Why they buy all those “trucks” remains beyond me.
Of course by the time Ford is finished with it it’ll be just another bland Ford nonentity, but for now at least, me likey.
Yerman already got the cool post title and I can’t think of anything better, so we’ll stick with something simple. Trinity is usual the feature image for things like this, but I like the British Library in London too.
Sorry for the dull question, I’m too lazy to do actual research.
So, who’s available, who’s best, and who has the best price?
Well, Des actually. My Best Man. The one on the right. Or the left. One of them anyway. And his name isn’t actually Des, it’s Brendan. The whole thing is very confusing.
