One of these pulled up at my workplace today and I can not get over how stupid they look and that got me thinking, who thought making a shittier version of an Odyssey was a good idea.
This thing can’t be useful as a truck, can’t seat as many as a van, costs $50k and burns more gas then an Odyssey (10l/100km hwy vs 8l/100km hwy). Does anyone who drives these things think they are hot shit?
You just answered your own question there dude
Is it because they are expensive? So this is the same psychology as rich college kids buying race cars in congested cities?
Yes. Tons of people buy giant obnoxious overpriced pickup trucks as status symbols.
But it looks like shit! A minivan with a welded on trailer deck out the back would be more sexy!
They’re not buying it for the looks… The more useless it looks the more it becomes a fancy way to announce that you’re rich.
Some people actually think anyone else cares about this dumb shit.
I am not just bitching about the looks (they are silly but that is subjective). My issue is that this is what now passes for a “reasonable” small truck.
