Now make a $12,000 version with door locks and a basic AC and I'll buy one this week. I miss 4th/5th gen Hilux

Really wish we could get stuff like this in the US but like the article said the lane keeping, emergency braking, stability control, etc makes it blow up in costs and Americans are too obsessed with 8ft tall massive pickups and SUVs the size of school busses.

American cinsumer here, I hate large trucks, especially qhen 99.8% of them I see on the road aren't hauling a damn thing.

I'd buy 2 hilux if I could.

American here, if someone made a cheap, small truck with no frills I'd buy one this afternoon.

Would be cool if they made a sedan like this, a bare bones car sounds like something I would love

Dacia Sandero. The base model comes in white only and doesn't include a radio or power windows.

Mitsubishi mirage. Or an Impreza. Outside of AA they don't have shit and are cheap.

Not a sedan but they ain't bigger than one .

Lol it would be cheaper to import that then most cars in canada cost

I wonder what the cost is on the upgraded ones or if they'll even be available, I assume one would also want the bigger engine
