Pretty sure it was this thread that I posted that those things were a real life Maibatsu Monstrosity.

Speaking of bloated, there's something about the Infiniti QX56 that just makes it look loving enormous.

As far as SUVs go, it's nothing out of the ordinary, but the curve of the hood or something makes it just look comically over large.

Every time I see one I feel like I need to re-badge it as a Maibatsu Monstrosity.

Yep. My understanding is they used a unique gear position switch inside the transmission to determine when the car was in reverse...instead of using the reverse lights in a feedback loop, a position switch on the shifter, or any other simple means of determining the car is in reverse like everyone else. Switch goes bad and instead of tearing down the center console to replace it, you have to remove and teardown the transmission.

This is a thing of beauty.

I drove an 07 matrix from stateboro to Atlanta last weekend and I actually love the shiftier placement. The mid 2000s civics had the shiftier on the dash like that as well.

You barely have to move your hand off the wheel to get to it. Why? Because sports car!

You would love driving Mitsubishi (and Isuzu, I think) cab-overs then. It's nice when your hands on the wheel are in a direct line with the shifter, IMO.

Oh nice! I just looked up a picture of the interior and it's exactly the same! I've always wanted to get one as a tow vehicle but I haven't really had the money.

My guess is the following:

Chrysler build quality
Short bed, not usable for very much
Probably lovely payload
Probably lovely towing capacity
Wheelbase longer than normal "Jeep Jeeps" such that its off roading capability is significantly reduced.


I didn't read the article though. I suppose there might be an announcement in there that Klan members get a discount on a brand new one or something.

I don't like it because it's yet another vehicle with a bed on it that's loving useless.

They had this turd at the Toronto auto show. It seemed popular with the Maple Leafs hat shirt and coat bros and their Uggs and sweatpants lady friends. Not one will leave a dealer lot without angry eyes being pre-installed. It somehow managed to look worse than that awful H3 pickup.

Taking a cool looking truck and crushing it into a Wrangler with a bed is in fact quite a terrible ad.
I'm sure the original J truck they crushed was pretty gutted and pieced together to look complete, so its not a real world loss.

2020 USDM cars are dead it's trucks trucks TRUCKS. Jason's still gonna use it as his commuter car 95% of the time so none of the details up top actually matter. It's just gotta be tall and have big ol tires and a tailgate and of course four doors because Caylynn's car seat is gonna go in the back and Jenny doesn't want to be seen driving a mom-bomb CUV.
