One of these pulled up at my workplace today and I can not get over how stupid they look and that got me thinking, who thought making a shittier version of an Odyssey was a good idea.

This thing can't be useful as a truck, can't seat as many as a van, costs $50k and burns more gas then an Odyssey (10l/100km hwy vs 8l/100km hwy). Does anyone who drives these things think they are hot shit?

They're not buying it for the looks... The more useless it looks the more it becomes a fancy way to announce that you're rich.

Some people actually think anyone else cares about this dumb shit.

I am not just bitching about the looks (they are silly but that is subjective). My issue is that this is what now passes for a "reasonable" small truck.
