According to this^^ ranger sales figures dropped year after year from 226,000 units in 2002 to 19,366 units in 2012, you can search in the same DB on Toyota Tacoma's and the sales figures show a different trend but then the Taco has changed, notice the jump in stagnant sales when the taco was upsized in 2005

I believe north americans want a Tacoma sized PU as we now know it but do north americans really want a small PU?

Saw one of these in Taiwan last week. Looked great in person. I'd be interested in this with a diesel.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

^^^^ very similar to the first vehicle that i was able to call " mine " .

'69 datsun pickup that belonged to my dads' company , but was sitting unused so i got to drive it .

got taken away however after i failed to yield , which resulted in a minor collision with a lady driving a giant convertible . i suspected she might have been a bit drunk , but being my first car ( and first crash ) , i was a little too freaked to rat her out to the attending cops .

This one looks better than the Colorado, same truck obvs:

I'm interested to see if the interior is any bigger and better. The last iteration was rental car ish and too cramped for my tastes and 6'2" frame.
