    Your story sad to tell,

    A teenage ne'er do well,

    Most mixed up non-delinquent in the mill!

    Your future's so unclear now,

    What's left of your career now?

    Can't even get a trade in on your grill!


    Angels: (La lalala lalala lalala...)


    Auto school dropout,

    You've designs really are quite bad!

    Auto school dropout,

    Missed your midterms and completely flunked CAD!

    Well at least you could have taken time to bother with exhaust pipes

    Instead of spending time to figure out just were to put the racing stripes


    Baby get moving (Baby get movin),

    Why keep your feeble hopes alive?

    What are you proving (What are you provin)?

    You've got the dream but not the drive.


    If you go for your diploma, you just end up asking why.

    Turn in your drafting pen and go back to DeVry!

    The lead photo had me thinking that this thing was tiny. Boy, was I wrong. That thing is HUGE. If it were as small as the proportions suggest, it would almost be cute as a novelty truck, but to try to compete with real trucks for market share? Fail. On an epic scale.

    Cool concept. Not sure how practical it would wind up being, or just what problems it solves. But, hey, gotta try new things every now and then.


    The front and cab styling is unfortunate, but the back shows some Pininfarina influences that aren't so bad. It's a concept, right, so they can fix it in pre-production.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I like it...


    but it looks like it ought to be aquatic. It is, right?

    @Pleco, king of the junkyard: I can't believe this made it to the second page before a non-follower showed up. This thing is no uglier than a Falcon pickup or a Corvair rampside, and we'd all be going gaga over one of those.


    So in short, I like it. In fact, get rid of the rear seats and the resulting bump, and I'll buy one.

    @Smells_Homeless: I was going to echo that. The 2nd row of seats makes it look like a speedboat-- It SERIOUSLY looks Aquatic. I like it, it has a neato Acura vibe without the beak.

    I also question the use of the word compact in describing this "compact truck". To my eyes there is no part of this vehicle that is compacted.

    Scale it down to 50%, add more sensible glass for the upper deck, make it diesel, 5-speed, and I might make it my next indoor/outdoor toy.

    This thing fits interestingly into the "Anal game"


    For those who don't know the game; you take the name of the car, and stick "anal" in front of it. e.g. Anal Explorer. Anal Probe. Anal Fit. Anal Navigator.


    Anyway... Anal Counter Balance!

    I thought that said "poops the second row of seats" and laughed.


    I wonder if they got the homeliest booth professionals for this so they don't upstage the car?
