    Hyundai is killing it. These are straight up amazing for someone who needs the once in awhile utility truck but most of the time just needs a car. If you just need a small truck but want the sporty looks vs a typical box with wheels this is definitely a looker. I can bet we will see tons of these on the road.

    People love to hate on Hyundai/Kia but no matter what, you have to respect that they are constantly pushing the envelope and pushing boundaries for making innovative vehicles, in a day and age where everything was starting to look similar. Ever since they’ve had their foot on the pedal, it’s caused everyone else to put their foot down as well.

    I like this a lot, looks like Master Chief’s warthog in green. The tonneau cover, ventilated seats, loaded tech, and unique look. However, I am worried about it being strictly owned by old ladies… Kia Soul. You can’t deny it would be detrimental to your enjoyment and resale. I also don’t love the gloss black and capacitive buttons. I think it needs a cargo pass through for 2x4s, long yard tools, etc because SUVs can store that stuff safely inside.

    I love the way it looks and I’ve been watching this truck since the original concept was unveiled but I just wish that we got the base engine here in Canada just because I’m not entirely sold on DCTs just yet especially for this type of vehicle. The Maverick might not look as good but on price it looks better.

    It's nice that they include the instructions for all those oversized items. Without that being supported I would say that the bed just too small to have a huge practicality edge in my mind. Though I'd still consider it inconveniently small, especially considering you can't fold down the second row of seats like an SUV.

      Very good thought with the suv folding seats, i mean hell we used to fold the seats down in my moms old forester and fil it with wood. But realistically i don't have any uses on my own that would require a larger space so it's a nice rig, I agree it's a bit of an in-between size for someone who actually needs the truck bed.

      @@richardkusimenkah yeah, it's pretty pricey all things considered (although still cheaper than larger trucks). I was car shopping earlier this year (February, I think?) and Southtown Hyundai said they were taking orders for them expecting them to arrive by June or so. And judging by the few I've seen recently, that seems to be accurate.
      I did have a chance to test drive one just to get a feel for it, and my only real complaint was that the steering wheel feels small. Other than that, it was pretty good (although I did more or less drive it down the Whitemud, briefly on the Henday, and then back to the dealership). However, folks on /r/santacruz have been posting some mechanical and electrical issues with their models already, so who knows.

      As much as I would too Subaru has been playing with themselves with the Outback Wilderness edition, and other pointless editions outside of the real stuff like the XT.
      They only recently started putting the forester motor in the Crosstrek after people wanted that since it came out~ i still want a Hatch WRX, but we get another 3rd row passenger SUV to fail where the tribecca has. I like the awd but i'm scared for the brand's future.

    I like this design. I think it's the best iteration of this body configuration to date and I hope they sell a ton of them. Seriously doubt if they'll go out to a lot of Grandmas or Grandpas. I suspect it will be folks between 25-40 for the most part but who knows? Also, they gave it plenty of power and comfort features, so it functions as a road trip car too in addition to a daily. If you can only have one car and you have an active lifestyle, this is a great solution. Nice that they gave it some decent color options too, but they yellow with grey cladding was perfect! I hope they give that combo a whirl at some point. Lava orange with charcoal grey would probably look cool too.

      On a unibody platform the C pillars and front of the bed/rear of the interior are a major structural point. The Avalanche was body on frame and only had those C-Pillar extensions on the bedsides to prevent body shake I would imagine. Doing something like the Avalanche's passthrough on a unibody vehicle probably wouldn't be possible, at most you could maybe do a small ski passthrough like a sedan or the tiny one that was in the Baja
