![]() It must also be remembered that these crossover-platform pickups, with a bed, are significantly different in general design/layout from traditional American body-on-frame trucks, and, in general, ride, handle, and drive differently and more car-like…although some traditional body-on-frame trucks, like the Ram 1500, have made remarkable advances in smoothness/comfort in their road-manners by going to different steering and suspension systems and adding more sound-insulation. I say extremely successful, not because they have necessarily sold in extreme numbers like the traditional full-size American pickup trucks, but because, due to several economic and production factors, demand for them consistantly exceeds supply, and both Ford and Hyundai very quickly sell every one that they can produce……you will generally not find then sitting around on dealer lots unsold. And, in just the last year or so, to compete with the Honda Ridgeline (still in production), two extremely successful new designs of this type have been added to the American market….the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. because it was perceived (probably falsely) but their marketers that it would not sell in the American market. Mercedes marketed a similar vehicle overseas, but did not bring to to the U.S. I’ve already mentioned the Subaru Baja….later, the Honda Ridgeline also joined this class. Later, as these vehicles became more versatile and family-oriented, the general configuration became 4-doors with the separate bed instead of 2-doors. as a nice rebadged GM-Holden product like the Pontiac GTO/G8/Chevy Impala SS. In Australia, the interesting 2-door Holden Maloo was offered….but, sadly, never made it to the U.S. Subaru marketed the 2-door Brat….and the later 4-door Baja. Chrysler did not market a mid-sized or full-sized size car/truck hybrid like the Rancheros and El-Caminos, but did, in the early 1980s, market the subcompact Dodge Omni Rampage and Plymouth Scamp. And most American vehicles in those days, of course, even regular passenger cars, were body-on-frame….although Chrysler products and a few other vehicles were unibody. The general concept of combining passenger-car and truck was first started on a significant scale in the 1950s, with the Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino, although neither one, of course, sold as well as their sedan/coupe/convertible/wagon counterparts. Hyundai Motor America reserves the right to amend, alter, or cancel this program, including its terms, at any time.While the concept of the crossover-platform vehicle with a separate bed, styled more or less like a traditional body-on-frame pickup, is nothing new, the general market for them recently, in the U.S., has not been particularly strong.
