  1. Reject modernity return to low slung sports cars as status symbols or reject even more modernity and return to low slung passenger cars like the 60s

  2. Bring back the 2-door Ranger and Toyota pickups! Those were awesome little trucks to tool around in.

  3. Gimme a previous gen-sized Ranger/S10 sized truck w/ 4WD/AWD pls, with proper ground clearance, there is both back when they were being made, but I swear to god it’s pointless with 2WD and those are the only ones you ever see for sale. And heck ideally decent towing weight.

    Maybe they shouldn’t have made [ridiculous requirements for light trucks](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-533). I mean, 40 mpg on a truck, even a small one!?? This is a case where regulations were too onerous and automakers were basically forced into only making large ones. Frankly I wouldn’t even be surprised if they lobbied for this so they had a convenient excuse to push the higher-margin trucks.

    I feel a little bad that I’m getting a CUV (Chevy Trax) but I want something that can go to a dealer for warranty service in town (so either Ford or GM) and the only gas sedan either company sells, the Chevy Malibu, is more expensive than the Trax. Like ???
