Or the Suzuki Mighty Boy. Sold in Australia and Cypress (strangely enough), it was based on s Suzuki Alto of the time and had a 534cc engine. It does have a loyal cult following to this day. My brother-in-law in Victoria, Australia had one of these (in this same red) and it was lent to me as a loner. Fun little car, but couldn't get above 85km/h. Perfect for the city, and maybe as a pizza delivery car.
i have been brainwashed by hollywood movies that american loves muscle cars.
no offense
They are, america is where the most fuel on the planet is spent on cars

Hahaha 13 mpg .... I love muscle cars, don't get me wrong, but it's totally unmaintainable in europe to own one if you're not above average economically.

Two to three times a year is probably right, and 99% of those times (all but once in 30 years) could be handled just as well with a smaller four cylinder S10 sized pickup truck that gets 25 to 30 MPG. Although, to be fair, before it gave up the ghost I used by little S10 pickup truck quite a bit hauling something just about every week or so, plus maxing it out (1500+ pounds in the bed) once every two months or so. Owning an orchard might skew the numbers a bit, but still...
Pretty much agreed with all that you say on this...a friend here in Alamogordo has a '92 Ford Ranger with something like 273,000 miles on it. Still running strong! He meticulously takes care of that pup. Nothing wrong with a truck that size at all. Seems weird how crazily popular the Ford F-150 is in the country. Says something about how we think and how we feel as a large, feisty nation, I believe.
