A number of modern delivery-type vans look goofy. Here is a classic goof-mobile from Ram.

Oh I like that!
Especially if it's made in a 3/4 ton or 1 ton for Real Work!

Saw this one yesterday for the fans of newer cars.
Not crazy about the color as I've never owned a green car but styling looks nice IMO.

Hint: This mfg has a "cult" following from what I hear, not sure why or if that's true, just what some people say.

What am I?

Well, the Lexus rod was a one off hand built vehicle that was probably worth several hundred thousand dollars, so i would hope that it would be high quality. But, this car was NOT built by Lexus. It was a custom one off hand built car built by a custom shop in LA for Lexus.

Comparing these two cars makes no sense.

yeah only a billion on the road.

it's an ok vehicle... with their deliberately 'homely' styling, cheap but sturdy interior, designed for the self-described 'practical' set.

Here in the D.C. area, people love Subarus.The Forester, CrossTrek and Outback all three go out the door like beer at Happy Hour. Even the WRX/STI sells well.

I owned an Outback myself...for some six years.
