I don’t know what anyone likes about this truck, it’s just hideous and stands out like a sore thumb

    tbf that's true of a lot of cars these days, i miss when cars actually looked nice..
    Even sports cars are just minimalistic and boring, can we please go back to having them look like this and considering 50km/h reckless speeding?

    Unfortunately they had fatal crashes at 30mph, and any pedestrians they hit were goners.

    do you like actually have a source for that? because i'm not sure there's actually enough force at 30km/h to kill people..

    i can totally believe that they cause worse injuries, because they've got a taller square front, but them killing people as such speeds is harder to believe.

    1. they are talking about mph not km/h. so about 50km/h
    2. 30km/h certainly is enough to seriously injure if not kill a person. If you need a source, try going 30 on a bike and riding stright into a brick wall.

    I like the styling because its different, its polarising, risky, and unique... its literally the only thing I like about the enormous piece of shit.

    Yeah, all things considered, I've come down on actually liking how it looks.

    The problem (OK, one of the many, many problems) is that it was designed for looks first and function second. So you get problems like the terrible view, poorly positioned columns, ridiculous floppy windshield wiper, etc, etc.

    The silver ones do, but I've seen a few black ones that look pretty neat. There was also one with a lime green wrap that looked really good. Plus, the insides are nice.

    Honestly, as far as aesthetics go, the jeep truck is worse.

    Not that any of that is a good reason to want one, though.

    I've seen all those and they're all horrid in person. Yes, there are degrees of horrid, with some more horrid than others, but none of them look anything close to "really good." And it's amazing how much worse they look in person than in pictures.

    I'm with you on this. It's kinda ugly, but kinda neat. If it wasn't made so shitty, wasn't a safety hazard, and wasn't associated with a nazi, I don't think it would get any more hate than any other pickup. But for looks, I'll take ugly over boring any day.
