It's interesting, isn't it? Cheaper than a new SUV, small enough to park in a one-car garage, runs on regular gasoline, relatively easy to make street-legal in most jurisdictions, and common enough that getting spare parts should at least be possible. Not a lot of passenger space, but definitely enough power to be useful as a towing vehicle if you want, and obviously fantastic off-road capability, even amphibious versions.

Of course it's like 5mpg, worse than an old steel-body coupe.
