I'm not sure I consider most SUVs or any vans to be "trucks" for the purposes of a "true truck territory" map, but okay.

I suspect there is a sharper difference between truck drives and nontruck drivers than SUVs and nonSUV drivers, even if we limit "SUV" to meaning something on a truck  chassis.  In an urban area, one can see a lot of Tahoes etc. but not many Silverados.

Yup.  And nobody is calling a van or a Nissan Pathfinder a "truck."

We were staying with friends in Boston and they gave us the keys to their Mini Cooper, and I drove it a fair bit, was not a fan.  It was the souped up version too.

I think minivans are way underappreciated by many who'd be better off with one IMHO.

I think the Fiero GT was pretty sporty, the one with the Iron Duke not so much.  I drove the latter once, it handled OK for the time but was quite slow, and a pushrod four is, well, not very sporty.

It's another car GM botched out of the gate, and then fixed mostly, and then killed because the brand was now negative.

In the early aughts I had a marketing professor who claimed the Firestone name was dead, due to the recall scandal.  He appears to have been wrong.

Fiero: sporty, but underpowered. Unfortunate.
