What would you buy/lease, if the Maverick didn't exist?

I am curious to see the responses to this question (if anybody cares to share).

Personally, I'd be looking at a hybrid Rav4, or a hybrid Tuscon.

I would have kept my 2017 Subaru Impreza hatchback

Right now the Maverick is in a 3-way tie with an Explorer or Ranger. Thankfully, I'm about 18 months from retiring and losing my company car, by then the next-gen Ranger should be out, or at least close to it.

I was about set on a Nissan Frontier until the Maverick came along and checked all the boxes at a lower price with higher MPG.

I have been waiting for a replacement for my 2002 Ford Ranger for a few years. I'd consider any truck that would easily fit in my garage. Last summer my local Honda Dealership had a Ridgeline. I told them if it would fit in my garage I would buy it. I set a 4:00 PM appt, then they called me to inform me it had already been sold. I've looked at the new Ranger, GMC Canyon, and aforementioned Ridgeline. All the mid-sized would fit, but just barely. I was actually researching the Hyundai Santa Cruz in May when I discovered the Maverick.

Probably another Escape in 23 or 24.

We were looking at Tacomas, but the prices were out of this world, so we ended up ordering a new base Bronco. The wait on that is so long though and we need a truck for hauling certain things. Couldn’t find any truck used that we liked that was also reasonable. The Bronco won’t tow and the 2-door has pretty much no cargo area. I dunno if we end up keeping it when it gets here or not. That’ll probably be a year from now anyway.

I've been searching for a new car for two years, and I've always given up. I drove an '89 Toyota Pickup for 20 years, and then a Honda Element that my son totaled two years ago. I loved both, and would have gladly bought either one again. But mid-size pickups like the Tacoma are too big, with terrible gas mileage. And there's nothing like an Element on the market. I think that the Maverick is going to be just what I was looking for! I only wish that it came with a manual transmission, although I've ordered one anyway.

My list included Rav4 Hybrid, Corolla Cross Hybrid, and the upcoming HRV Hybrid. Looked at a Kia Niro too. Has to be hybrid, has to be hatchback/suv. Need more storage than a Prius. This is going to be similar to the size of a Toyota Highlander, but half the price. Don't need third row seats, just needed room for 'things'. In a couple years, with more infrastructure I would be shopping electric, but not enough charging stations. In a couple years I'm sure all gas filling stations will have banks of electric as well, but will take time.
