I was looking for one of those in the early 90's but they were so rotted by then, this one is in nice shape. If it's a diesel one it gets better mileage than the hybrid Maverick, but 0-60 is not a sure thing!
I know VW is working on new trucks but I think mostly for the euro market. And they're working with Ford so I think theyre in cahoots and bet we dont see them here because of that.
I've always kind of wanted a Kubellll..er.. Thing in a way. The people who have some of those now take care of them. But a lot were "used to death" which was their purpose I suppose.
