The next 2-300000 km of my life is unclear as function over form often isn't incentivized. I want utility and I want the cost to run it to be low. The maverick has come the closest I think. The more research I do, the neater it seems. It looks like they made the bed for tinkering. There are power connectors and they are encouraging a lot of DIY stuff. They also have these clips inside the car where they've released CAD files for stuff like cupholders so people could 3D print their own, or design their own stuff. It really could be an ultimate camping mobile.
It's kinda ironic you would mention Nissan Figaro's, I saw one in real life in July.
But I live in Canada. I think the Nissan Figaros are Japan only cars and never were anything but right hand drive. So when I saw one and my passenger was like "what is that car?" I couldn't believe it. I have only seen Nissan Figaro's in books and in Gran Turismo video games over the years. I've seen some other rare cars in real life the past few years. That McLaren, that Porsche 356 beside Pyramid Mountain in Alberta in 2019 when I was driving my fuel-sipping, but huge Santa Fe rental.
